Hello, I have never introduced myself even if I have ever written.
My name is Jesus, I am not diabetic but my partner is (type 1).We have been together only 5 months, and I have learned a barbarity of things (especially those related to technology, applications, myomiao, nighttscout ...).
The problem is that I have very basic questions and asked me if you knew any book (Spanish or English) that speaks well about diabetes.Something in depth.Sugar in blood, as insulin acts on it, things that can make sugar down or rise ...
I am a very logical person and I try to apply logic in many situations but it escapes my hands.
For example, I have been able to see that if insulin lasts 3 hours in the body.Lasts 3 hours either 1 unit or 10?What happens if I don't know, let's put something exaggerated.You eat 200 hydrates and click 10 for saying something.I do not know if those 200 hydrates are going to be consumed in the 3 hours that insulin takes effect or may take 4-5 hours (slow digestion).If so, it would be a whore because you risk getting into hypoglycemia and then rises to 200 with the rest of the hydrates without consuming.Maybe this "can never be given."
I also want to know how slow insulin works.Spike tells me that it is 1.25 units at the time, but I do not think that that really applies to you or would be in hypoglycemia all day.It is already going to bed with the "consumed" insulin, digested food and being 100, 120 and waking up up to 2 times in 7 hours because it was going to go into hypoglycemia.
I do not know, I have thousands of questions looking at the graphs, see how it goes up, then goes down, then stable, then go up again (without eating anything) or goes down much (without insulin) ... and is a sedentary person butt.
So if you have any book of these that explain everything with hairs and signs, I would read it with pleasure.
Thank you very much.
