Dad of a type 1 diabetic child

[[ERROR-TRANS]]

Me has hecho tirar una lagrimita.

Ánimo, tío. Yo tengo 2 hijos y ninguno es diabético (por ahora). El diabético soy yo, desde que era un niño de 5 años hasta ahora, más de 50. Uno detrás del otro.

Tu hijo va a salir adelante y va a vivir una vida plena y feliz, como lo he hecho yo.

Al curro, tío. Hay que aprender a manejar la cosa, y (en tu caso) hacer que tu hijo aprenda también. Atended a las endocrinas, las enfermeras, Internet, todo. Hoy en día, los tratamientos son infinitamente mejores que cuando yo empecé, vosotros tenéis mucha más suerte de la que tuve yo. A por ello.

Cualquier cosa que necesites de un diabético viejo tipo 1, me preguntas.

Mucha suerte.

Hola a tod@s. Mi hijo de 11 años debutó hace un mes. Está yendo al colegio y llevando una vida cotidiana lo más normal posible.

Aún no hace deporte, pero estamos trabajando con las educadoras y el equipo de endocrinología para ajustar las pautas de insulina, aunque todavía no hemos dado con las adecuadas.

El niño tiene sus momentos de tristeza y a veces llora; a mí se me parte el alma. La verdad es que desde el momento en que nos enteramos, no lo llevo nada bien.

Estoy preocupado y tenso todo el tiempo, no duermo bien, y he adelgazado 6 kilos este mes de los nervios. Quería desahogarme y saber cómo lo lleváis otros padres.

Un saludo.

Hi Gino.My mother, already deceased, with 90 years still told me that if I was late, I went through her house to eat ... The fear of hypoglycemia is eternal and is spread.She lived several of mine.I started at four years, also without a known history but there were neither the glucometers, nor the continuous monitors, much less insulin bombs.There was also no internet or the aid forums like this.The only thing there were strips to measure glucose in urine, with the accuracy that could give you.

I have been diabetes for 54 years and I have passed through school, the Institute and He & Nbsp;studied at the university away from family home.I have a 17 -year -old son without diabetes symptoms and I have a quasi -normal life.The biggest physical problem that I have is the view, but with my age, diabetic or not, we all end with glasses, so that diabetes with basic care and periodic visits to the endocrine does not have to be a problem either for your child orFor you.Since I have a continuous meter (Dexcom G7) my wife sleeps calmly without waking up to tell me that I am sweating, the meter is the one that wakes me up if necessary, or at work (the school in case of your child) warns and takes aSupplement and voila, I, when it warns me that I am in 80mg/dl with an added sugar juice, which are 10 gr of HC, I follow the day without further ado.Continuous meters allow you from where you are to consult your child's glucose levels, and notify you also in case of hypoglycemia.controlled the situation.If I, with more archaic means until one years ago, I carry it without more complication, your child, who has just begun and has the current media and those that are to come, it will not be less, sure.P> mood

greetings, Manolo

Hi Gino

I understand you and I understand you.My son debuted with 10 years and seven months.We did not have a diabetic history.Next January two years have passed since that fateful day that changes his life not only to him but to the whole family.I know that everything is very difficult to assimilate and that what I am going to tell you is not obtained except with much effort and dedication, but almost two years later I have been able to mount an artificial pancreas system with a small pump pump on one arm thatSupplies insulin and that the controls an application in its mobile based on the data it receives from the sensor that carries in the other arm.His life and ours have changed totally.He no longer has to punctuMany months without being able to do it.Thanks to this technology and an exceptional endocrinological team that has supported me in this technological adventure, which seemed black is no longer so much.Much encouragement.

Many encouragement, all the same happens to us. A covid that almost kills me and left me physically for a year and a half.of workplace and I had a judgment with the company for an unfair disciplinary file.

Now, three years later I am well and I accept and work with everything related to diabetes naturally because it is the best for my son and me.

toPrinciple will cost you to find an ideal insulin guideline, but you will soon get it.Then, a climate change will come, an emotional change of your child, a physical change such as a cold, etc, and will make you change that pattern again.Friend, that's law of life, it will happen to you every two for three, it happens to all t you don't have to despair.You will end up knowing more about diabetes than your own family doctor, you'll see, you will be autonomous but have a little patience please. & Nbsp;

I trust that the AI ​​will soon be able to give us a solution.A few weeks ago in China they healed a DM1 girl about 20 years.It is not advisable to sit to wait for a cure, you have to learn to live and address the problem of your child that is the main thing because it depends on what your child is well. & Nbsp;

and something else.You have to cry because it's what touches, don't keep it inside.Of course, never in front of your child.That he does not see you crying, with doubts or fear.Don't even notice it in your eyes.You have to have mood, hope and strength in front of your child.Later, in a few weeks he expresses joy again before him, even if artificial, it is your duty as a father. & Nbsp;

If you need anything I am here, bro. & Nbsp;

Greetings. & Nbsp;

Not only happens to children.I cried every time I had to take glucose and put the insulin, 41 years old.

It is normal.In the end, I bought a painless puncture and the smallest needles.I looked for less painful and well.

You have to pass that stage.

With help and affection, he will overcome it.

Thanks for your contribution, we have thought about the puncture and the needles, could you tell me which ones you use? Greetings

Hello !My daughter started with 5 years.I went to the psychiatrist, who put me to treatment to take away my anguish.

Today he is 36 years old, no complication and lives very quiet.

Treatments and insulins are increasingly better, or comparison point with what we had before.You can control much better and get a good glyc.

Quiet, patience, and to wait for the best.

@Gino, feeling of guilt?No one is to blame for this.

He has played, nothing more.
