Hello everyone, I am Antonio and I debuted at the end of April.I had been with some symptoms for a while, but until I did a blood test, they associated them with other causes (such as insomnia, anemia and others).Since then, it has been a bit like a "roller coaster."
I suppose that, for many, it is the same: between starting to feel better when I receive treatment and realize what it entails having this for life (in fact, I will tell the horrible experience I had with my header doctor).My case is supposed to be type 1 diabetes for my age range, but until September the endocrine will not be confirmed.
In general, my experience so far has been positive.When you spend so much feeling bad without understanding why, they give you an explanation is a tremendous relief.
I have changed so much that, literally, my parents do not recognize me: as healthy, I am not continuously in a bad mood, I have energy, and I go to the gym for pleasure and enjoy it.My nurse is quite happy with me because I take it seriously and I am quite controlled (literally, I thanked me for being the few who take notes in the notebook or the app).
My complaint, and surely doesn't surprise anyone, they are the sensors.When I started with the strips I had a bad time because I have always had cold hands and it cost me that blood came out, so I thought the sensors were a blessing.
I started using them in June and, since then, I have already had to claim five times.As much as the nurse or other diabetics tell me, it does not seem normal to me.My main problem is the great difference that they give me compared to the capillary (for example, 59 in the sensor and 110 in the capillary), especially at night.They told me that it was to sleep supported, but I don't know what a posture to put and, even so, it goes down equally.
My main problem is that I am quite apprehensive with this;Lately I do not sleep for the anxiety that are causing me and frustration.I know that you just have to call and change it, but I am hearing loss (I have hearing loss) and the whole process is tedious;It causes me a tremendous hurry to have to be calling every few days to ask for another sensor.
Anyway, I have spent a bad night, again, because of the sensor and needed to vent a little because I can't stand this situation.I wanted to do it in a place where I think I can understand me.
I have been reading the forum since I was shyly, but I never dared to write anything.I have encouraged myself because in the posts of the people I always see that they support each other, so thanks for reading me (forgiveness for the "textaco").
Greetings,
