Hello my 9 -year -old daughter Maria debuted with type 1 diabetes, in January.We are giving you a treatment based on vitamin 3 and Omega 3 since we left the hospital.At three months, the 0.48 to 1.16 peptide has risen.The endocrine that sees us caught that variation and wanted to know how much the peptide C after the debut .Thank you very much and a lot of strength
I understand that what you say is additional to insulin, no?, That is, that your daughter follows insulin treatment, and that additionally this climb of the C peptide has had, is that?
If that is.She has treated insulin since the debut, slow at night and fast at meals, three months after leaving the hospital in the first analytics the result of the peptide was 0.48, three months later it came out 1.16.Endo tells us that it is not usual that it is normal for it to go down or that in the best case it is stable a time, and then go down gradually until it stays to zero. What we know is that the higher the peptide, the greater the insulin produces it and less must be put. There is a very very curious thing in all this diabetes, and it is that practically 100% of the children who develop it have low or very low vitamin D.The only thing we are doing apart from all those who indicate to us in the hospital is the supplementation that I have indicated above and that the endo told us that there was no problem in carrying it out (it is supervising) and in those we are.So now it's time to wait for the next analysis and see if you keep up. Thanks for your interest. All the best
Many moods @fjga I hope you recover normal levels soon, I also recommend that you read the subject about being the father of children with diabetes, I think you will find it interesting.
I have been controlling these 5 years and last year I was already at 0.15;When I debuted I had it at 0.85;In the last review the endocrine told me that 0.15 is zero of pancreatic reserve.
I guess children have greater recovery capacity than adults.
