Hello,
My name is miracles, I am Argentina and I live in Mexico for 40 years.
I follow this blog a long time ago but it is the first time I participate.
I am type 1 diabetic for 3 years, I am 64 years old and my life has really turned around.
I always ate healthy, I did a lot of exercise and it was very surprising to find that I am diabetic and I will have to prick, as you say, all my life, it cost me a lot of work to accept it.
My diabetes is very labile, despite having a very rigorous diet, it can go up or down for no apparent reason, I can repeat the same meal and measure me at 2 or 3 hours and one day I can have 160, another 210 and another 90, incomprehensible.
I don't distress so much but I don't have a good glucosilada, the last one I made came out at 8.5, the previous one was 7.3, now for the Covid I have not done any this year.
My endocrinologist has suggested to put a bomb and I have not yet evaluated it, I am scared of the idea.
I react a lot to emotions and say that in recent years they have been especially difficult, a thousand things have happened and I had to travel a lot.
I miss not to eat things that seem to me at any time, not being able to take a wine at night if it is not with meals and have to think about everything that or I take.
I appreciate this space because reading them many times I feel identified and I calm down or learn new things.
Well, I wanted to stop just look and not participate, so here I am.
Thank you all for sharing!
Greetings,
