Hi @isi, our daughter was diagnosed with diabetes with 15 months, now this aim of turning 11 and we have already lived many phases of this disease.
I also thought it was strange that you don't know more about what diabetes is, but it requires so much effort at the beginning that you do not have the necessary strength to fight with what surrounds you in addition to the disease, day to day, 24 hours, or so I want to believe.Maybe they have not yet asked you the question of, with the time that has diabetes now is already more stable?
As they say it is a background career, and these also require psychological training, I recommend that both your daughter and you visit a diabetes specialist psychologist, I can recommend a psychologist in Barcelona, life changed to us, along with a nutritionistThat he taught us to tell and weigh everything, everything.Both specialists with diabetes, and I think they have a disease point of view that other specialists may not have it.
As parents and external pancreas of your daughter, you should take care of yourself.
It is very hard and over time the situations change, but Jay to be clear that 100%diabetes cannot be controlled.
Recommend Keto or Carbohydrates Diets I see it out of place for a girl, who eats what he wants and needs, you have to adjust insulin and calculate hydrates, weigh food, identify whether they are fast sugars or not, and get away from the profucts withoutsugars, if you don't want to learn the effects of sweeteners, who also have it.Donsacarino I think he had a post on his blog about them.It is better to know what he eats and be able to count hydrates.And chuches, because I have read in an answer, we also have them for when it goes down, but beware, because it happened once it has not been waiting for a long time to be low to eat them, Entobces see that you have to let them eat them andPutting insulin, and as they have said, it is much essay and error to learn.
And theme punctures, our daughter has a panic, with the help of psychòloga we advance a little, but I had days that I had to take it between two to prick the insulin.In the end they put us bomb, it has been with her for years, in Septembre will be 6 years old, the change is abysmal, a puncture, if everything goes well, every 3 days, corrections and insulin adjustments much better, but it is a device hooked to the body,You have to be aware.And if it is small or not to take it?, Then I tell you no, that are only messages and information of those who do not want to make the expense (I speak of public health, which is my case), we had two years with diabetes andOne day on the beach we saw a smaller girl than ours with insulin bomb, we hallucinate, we asked her parents and told us that she has taken her since she left the hospital, in the "debut", and that where they lived it was like thatFor all children, in Paris.
On the cure, there are various studies on the way, look diabetescero, if you don't know them already, but will come for the effort of patients, it is clear.What always raises me is that having famous with diabetes, singers, elite players (in the defense of Madrid there is one ;-)), there is no more information than it really supposes or means.It is not the sugar of the grandparents, as they have asked us more than once, it is sad to have to explain this continuously, and it still surprises me.Then, over time, it improves, above all the confidence in the knowledge and the management of diabetes, and you will begin to rest and see it from another perspective.
On insulinas we have gone through a few, and as they have already told you, much better than the lesson is the lantus, if they can change it better, it is a prick less.And if the endocrine tells you that it is flat, it is not, and he does not have diabetes or has ever used it, but compared to the other slow ones is one of the mostflat.
And I think I stop, sometimes it is so difficult to know when to stop ...
Much encouragement and strength, and take care of you too !!
