Hello everyone,
About two months ago the 11 -month -old baby debut, we are from Argentina.
It was chaos, I came two months ago telling the pediatrician that I didn't see him well, he had been losing weight and told me that it was normal, that it was called "Catch up" (I want to cry with rage) ...
In the week of the debut he referred me to a nutritionist, I went to the guard two nights, I returned to the pediatrician who scored "happy vomitator" in the notebook, until he dehydrated and entered ketoacidosis ... just there they interned it, they measured himThe sugar (I had already gogged and asked the screams for a glycemia to rule out) and had almost 500 ... responded well to insulin, spent one day in therapy and an interned week, to normalize and educate the parents ...
Well, they already spent two months, this is chaos, we still do not learn well to control it and sometimes it is very hyperglycemia, but when we put it more insulin, I think I still have a lot to learn, I didn't know anything about diabetes,Only my grandfather's dad was insulin -dependent ...
So here I am, reading several things, trying to learn because the truth is that what they explained seems very basic and I want to be an expert (until I can start collaborating) ...
I want to put the insulin pump, they tell me that the sensors are from the age of 4, but I sent an email to Medtronic and they told me that it can be from babies.
I live in a northern province and the truth is that apparently there is not much experience with this disease in such a small baby.
I do not know whether to take him to Buenos Aires to give me an opinion, in addition the antibodies give him negative, and they tell me that this does not mean that it is not autoimmune, but I understand that yes and that it is genetic?
Anyway, I am a sea of doubts (and nerves) ..
Thanks for reading me!
