Hello, luck that I have found this forum and hopefully you can solve all my doubts.
I regret if the text is long.My husband was assumed several years without knowing that he had diabetes.
It was never wrong to have to go to the doctor, we didn't know that being very thirsty was an indication and ate a lot of sweet.Or eat a lot and lose weight.
We thought it lost a lot of weight due to a motorcycle accident 10 years ago, a metabolic change.Until last year he had urine losses at night and during the day he went to the bathroom many times.
For fear I didn't want to go to the doctor.He suspected that it could be an inflammation of the prostate?I don't know if it is said that.
Earlier this year was more thirsty than ever, and a very strong flu until we went to the ambulatory and saw that they had a gray color, they took the sugar and stings to 800, DÍABETIC DEBUG, ambulance and entered from emergency.
Apart had pneumomy (the hospital crowded, possibly by coronavirus that in February did not know many doctors who was the reason for so many people in the halls), in fact I asked if it was coronavirus and, finally, the nurse looked at me as if I werecrazy.Urine infection, kidney, and the main thing was to lower sugar.I try to summarize it.Type 1 diabetes to be determined, they still have it clear despite having performed a pancreatic resistance test, they taught us the minimum of how insulin, portions and little else worked.
Fortunately I have read many nutrition books throughout my life because I like the subject and I know what carbohydrates, proteins, etc.In the hospital endocrinology section they have taken it (taken in quotes because it is very difficult to contact them) and controls of how it has the levels every week.
I read that 10 gr of carbohydrate correspond to a fast insulin unit, but they have not explained it to us, I read it and as a result of having that information are we who have been adjusting the insulin dose depending on how sugar hasand the carbohydters that will ingest.
Here are my doubts .... Before my question the following endocrine: "If one day before eating it has the sugar at 120 and will not eat hydrate from pasta or rice, is it possible not to prick insulin?" He said thatYes, it was not necessary to prick.
This same question was asked another doctor of that section and said that you always had to inject and you always had to eat hydrate now I do not know if it is called a complex.
But I still have the most important doubt, is it true that yes or does it have to eat pasta or rice or bread?Because I wonder if they advise that because they "get laziness" explain everything since they have informed us that the hospital will no longer advise and refer us to the ambulatory.
It seemed like a form of detachment to the patient and they even advise me to denounce it in patient care.Whenever we have called it seemed that they were doing us a favor to attend us.We are very lost with many doubts.I believe, but please correct me, of course if you eat green beans, protein and dessert fruit with the dose of insulin that we have calculated you can perfectly not eat bread, rice or pasta.
And another doubt that we have ... It is punctured and has 190 of sugar, and it will not eat or potatoes, rice or pasta, always tends to eat vegetables, protein and fruit or yogurt, does the calculation of insulin to inject goDepending on the hydrate that will eat in grams of hydrate and apart what needs to be lowered from sugar?I don't know if I explain.
Our great disgust was with the subject Retinitis but kills me to talk about it and I prefer not to influence that subject.They are injecting a medicine.
At night, 20 of slow Lantus is injected and they did not explain that the Lantus does not serve to avoid hypos or hyper, but is like a base and that lasts 24 hours.My has helpedMuch more the 061 every time we have called with doubts.From February until today he only had 2 hypos and for our mistakes, dinner little etc, or not make the resopon before sleeping.
We are a bit desperate and we are discharged
Nor we knew about the peaks that all the dybetics have.And the height was that the other day we called the endocrine and that is when they gave us the result of the pancreatic test, they did not call us to inform.And there is no conclusive result, they say it continues with insulin.In February when the Coronavirus began they did not make an eye background and we also learned that they had to do it and more with such a strong debug and being dangnetic so many years without knowing it.
Please, I need advice, we don't know whether to go to a nutritionist or continue reading books about diabetes or get into forums like this.
Thank you all!
