New member with Lada Diabetes

@Amy is a radical change of food and habits, it takes time.
I did not go out with friends until 3 months later.The diet followed rigorously, it weighed everything, until I started reading people and realizing that diabetes manages oneself, that the endocrine gave me generic guidelines that I could take them based on my values.Let's say I lost fear.And I began to eat what I wanted.
I was psychologically strong and I continue.I cost me therapy for years, but it was worth it.

@Amy, if you see that you are at risk of depression, go to the doctor, because it is an added risk.
And everything gets better being calm.But it takes time and has a very bad time.

@Regina, the other day talking to the endocrine he asked me if I had gained weight (in two months I have lost 6 kilos, I am thin, horrible) I told him that I am not eating well and then he asked me how I was in mind, I told him thatevil.There it was on the subject.That he sees that month or a month and a half, unless they upload the controls that I will have to notify them.

@Amy, go to your family doctor, that these depressive things are treated.If you have depression and anxiety you can't even eat.It happened to me when my daughter debuted, 30 years ago.

@Amy: Managing diabetes is a very difficult but not impossible process.If you have nearly an association of diabetics I encourage you to visit them because one of their functions is to help people with diabetes who need information or help to manage it.
I attach an article that speaks of the emotional impact of diabetes in case it can be helpful.

@miguelyc, hello, and how do you carry it?
Today, I woke up fatal, yesterday I had some friends that I did not see since before my debut.Everyone began to ask and I have been fatal because I'm not right.And on top of that you explain something what they tell you: come then you have to encourage you, I know many people who have it and are very good, come that you have nothing.It is not their fault, I did not give me the idea of ​​what this is, but I can't stand it.I don't want to pity me or anything like that, but it's nothing?When there is someone who has depression (for the reason what is) nobody says: come that you have nothing and I don't know if I have it.The same a bit, but nobody thinks this is a reason to have it and have a little touch.
Greetings.

From experience I tell you that even if they told you it seems good, I wasn't going to encourage you either.At first you feel very sad and it is very difficult for others to encourage you.
You have to assume it as a process.You are going to spend sad days, it is normal, and not overwhelm you for it.And when you assume it, you realize that little by little you have more and more happy times and that you are already concerned to diabetes.And in the end you see it a roll, because it is, but not everything in life will be good, you adapt, and it does not hurt, you do not like it but it does not hurt or depress you.You'll see.

Thank you all, I think it would be great to have a friend or known with diabetes to share.Everyone who tells me that it is nothing knows someone who suffers it but I don't.
I live in Madrid in the Sanchinarro area, I have looked at the associations but I have not found any close, but I will keep looking.
Anyway, this afternoon I don't know, I'm a little better.
Thanks really.

@Amy The Diabetics Association is on Julian Besteiros Street, does not catch you badly.
I am pointed but I have not attended any event.

Hello, Amy.Welcome to the forum.

The diabetes debut is overwhelming.You have to learn on the march a lot of things: insulin management, hydrates counting, capillaries, sensor, graphics, handling hypoglycemia, hyper, etc.Of an unknown disease until nothing does and, in addition you feel alone, misunderstood, with insecurities, false myths, entrenched habits, etc.Too many.

Check out this.

They offer a "accompaniment" program of three months where they will teach you to handle all this.
It is based on physical training and nutrition basically.The team is made up of the coach and a nutritionist, both are diabetic.In addition to theoretical knowledge they have their personal experiences.
I signed up, this month I finished my trimester and I tell you that, hopefully I would have had such a support at the time of my debut.

@Ensalada, Jo, thank you very much, I look at it tomorrow.

hello!

I am Carlos, 42, I have debuted in 2020 with a diabetes that was first diagnosed as type 2 but soon my diagnosis changed to Lada.
It has been climbing quickly and the sensation is to be in a permanent roller coaster, because there are not two equal days, even repeating the routines, the doses of insulin and even the meals, the glucose does not behave in a predictable way.
2 months ago I used free freestyle 2 and totally changed the way of understanding my diabetes, he threw me a lot of light but also made way for more doubts.
Right now I am with Basal Toujeo (22 units in the morning) and FIASP for meals (6 units at breakfast, 3 to 5 at meals according to what you eat, and for dinner I am not putting insulin and eating light to avoid hypoglycemianocturnal).

I still learn about my diabetes and the feeling that I have to continue learning all my life.
I already read a lot here and I thought it was time to introduce me

Greetings to all

Hello!!!Here tb another lada q tb debuted at 42, if something has to happen at that age, hahaha.At the moment I carry it well, I continue only with slow insulin, avoiding eating things that upload the glucose

Welcome, I debut 8 years ago with 48 years, what is said here is seen that with this age we have ballots, but the important thing is to take it well

Hello, because the endocrine of the RYC told me the other day that it can keep me with metformin, which is the only thing I take.But in February the Dra with which he debuts that he was from Insurance PV prescribed insulin in the morning.And on Friday I went to another endocrine of the insurance who is an elder and diabetic man since childhood and also told me that I need insulin, who are treating me as if I were an obese older person and that having lost 8 kilos like that I cannot be.What a mess, he made a report, to see what my SS Heer doctor tells me.
It is true that I have the controls well but at the expense of not eating anything of HC or fruit and this has told me that it should not be.
All the best

Hello.2 months from diagnosis of lada in the initial phase.In the private they sent me 18 units of Abasaglar giving me hypoglycemia after eating 60, having no free appointments to advise me I went to my head doctor and referred me to the endocrine of my reference hospital, La Paz, in Madrid andHe told me to leave insulin.The appointment with the endocrine takes little to arrive and when I arrive I send me analysis and insulin, but 8 units.He put me a freestyle sensor which already advanced that I surely did not cover the social security, I still do not understand the reason, if I have diabetes ... Anyway.At 15 days he quotes again to see values, they were perfect and even lowered the ketones from 0.6 to 0.3 I was so afraid to eat at the beginning to take away the HC, and that is not good, now I know.My C peptide is in 2.4 I don't know if it is fine or not, but the doctor told me that my pancreas still works for what the basal between 6 and 5 units per day and Sitagliptin pill was lowered, one a day.
I am inside the range in my measurements, also according to what I can give me some a little higher peak, yesterday for example at 2 hours of food 183, yes, I ate rice and an hour later 115. For theMornings I think I get up a little high, today for example 116, it will be a matter of putting me 6 instead of 5, I don't know, I am so afraid of the hypoglycemia that I prefer to be a little high, I don't know 110 or so ..... On Friday I have an appointment with the endocrine, there I take him, a folio full of doubts.Thank you very much for your contributions, the truth is very useful.

Well, peptide 2.4 is fantastic.In my analytics (I had 0.6) it says that it is normal between 0.8 and 4.2, with what 2,4 in principle is the proper functioning of pancreas, for me I would like it.And the values ​​that you say very well.Let's see what endo tells you.

@MIryFB80 Hello, your comment is great, I go this afternoon to the head doctor, I'm going to take the private report that makes me insulin 6u in the morning, to see what he tells me, he doesn't make it the same xq is not whatthat the endocrine of the RYC has told me.What is least fancy is a bad vibes between them, I think I already have enough and I need me to take

Amy, what treatment are you still for the RYC? ...

Miry, I am from February 2 with Metformin (1mañana, 1 nights).With a 0.4 peptic.The endocrine RyC, when I asked him because he did not start with the slow insulin that the private one told me (6 or in the morning) he told me that she can keep me with metformin.
I just returned from the ambulatory and Dr. says that he thinks how the endocrine of the RYC, that if I can stay better.But at the expense of what?I have asked the advantages of not using insulin and tells me to prick the fabric and I don't know what the most bullshit.He has asked me urgent analytics and on Friday we see ourselves again to value it.

I do not understand the truth much, debut in March, but I thought it was better insulin for these cases ..... you are already telling me

Insulin is better because the pancreatic reserve lasts.There are doctors who prefer to exhaust her with pills and then start with insulin to avoid hypos.
Each person is better for a treatment or another.
