Good morning,
I am new in the forum, and I have decided to enter and write to tell my story and share it with people who can be living the same as me, and if possible to receive some advice that serves as an encouragement.
DM type1 debut with 34 years, (I am currently 40), entering ICU with more than 500. After leaving the hospital after almost a week to fly through this wonderful world of insulin -dependent with thousands of fears and doubts.
After a few months I managed to lower the gly and more or less stabilize the levels, all based on peaks, many hyper and many hypos.More or less a year 6.2 of glyd and good control since then.
With 39 recently, gift, diabetic neuropathy, starting with some fingers, then several fingers of the other and now left leg.(Numbness, ardors, punctures, pain).
After testing, EMG, resonances etc, definitive diagnosis as I have already said neuropathy caused by moderate grade diabetes.Gabapentina 3 times a day and duloxetine 1 time a day, but despite the treatment I continue with the symptoms and I would say that I am I worsen little by little.
The truth is that I don't know if at some point this will stabilize or if they will send the symptoms a bit.
Of course, a lot of doubts about the future in the short, medium and long term, especially thinking about my two kids (8 and 3 years).Anyway I am having quite bad both physical and psychological.
I don't know if someone is going through or has gone through the same thing and can give me some counseling.
Thank you and forgive for the parraph.
