Good morning:
I already introduced myself telling my case so now I have to ametraloos with doubts, they are of diverse topics but for not putting a thread here and there I prefer to put everything here, if it is not the correct way I feel, I am recently landed and learning in allThe senses.
43 years, diagnosed with diabetes after an analytical with 298 on an empty stomach, for the moment the only metformin treatment 2 times a day, during the first half week and then one, control of food and exercise and repetition of analytics in 3 months.
First, I have been told diabetes without furtherof insulin that I have or to inform myself about how to manage the disease. Should I contact the family doctor again to lead me to an endocrine?Or should I look for my life on my own?Does anyone in Madrid have any good reference in this regard?
-If who referred me to a nurse who told me many things above and told me to exercise and gave me a diet of 1750 calories that generates many doubts because it includes fruits without discriminating those that have more or less sugar and even pastaOr rice that I have read in several threads are foods to avoid for diabetics, I also asked him about milk if he had to be skimmed and told me that it could also be semi, I don't generally be the part of the food generates many doubtsBecause the doctor also told me that it was not necessary to weigh food so I really don't know how I am going to adjust to a diet with certain amounts to an ojimeter.
-The doctor also told me that it was not necessary for the moment glucose measurements, but of course, this generates a doubt, how do I know that I am improving?How do I know if I get the glucose in the range?Simply because I will feel better?Because 3 months of uncertainty until the next analytics seem too many to be giving my head about whether you are doing things well or not.I understand that there are things like tiredness or muscle weakness that they should improve but I would not have to have to be aware of things that may be for diabetes or because I have taken a cold.
-Tema exercise, the nurse told me that if I could not do anything other than to go an hour, but that is also impossible today, I have a static bicycle at home that I could use but where are the daily limits?How do I assure me that I do not upload me after the exercise or do I control the amount of exercise so that it does not happen?
-Tema metformin, I asked them for possible side effects and told me that nothing, but the prospect says otherwise, for now I have not noticed much but the truth is that I only have half and a half, but I am also taking ibuprofen and paracetamol for anotherthing and they didn't tell me anything about the possible contraindications although sailing on the web seems to have not.
-For my own tranquility and to bring control, would it be a good idea that I did to me with a glucometer?I do not talk about controlling it several times a day but maybe once a day or every two days to follow the evolution and see how the thing is going, if so, where to buy it in the pharmacy?Any particular recommendation?
Forgive me the assault, there are many things and I am sure that I leave many others but right now these are the ones that have come to mind, I hope you can guide me a little and thank you in advance for your time and your patience.
