Hello good morning.I introduce myself.My name is Jesus (Oceano4), I am 53 years old I live in the north, although I am Madrid. I have been with diabetes pills for years and 2 days ago I started clicking Toujeo 16 IU before dinner and Trulicity 1.5 once a week (I'm going to put the first at one time). Also say that I have central diabetes, by a tumor in the pituitary, removed almost 7 years ago, which I have another fight. In, end, greeting everyone and I hope to learn from this forum and help as much as possible. Salu2 Oceano4 Jesus.

GREETING
-Hola, sorry for me the delay in answering. -Ane called central diabetes, today I don't know what has to do with diabetes mellitus 1 or 2, in fact, it has nothing to do. -It is one of the diseases considered "rare" because it affects less than I do not remember how many people of every 1000. It is an affectation of the pituitary or pituitary gland, which is the gland that generates 5 vital hormones and intervenesin the direct or indirect production of all the other hormones that regulate all the functions of our body. -The affectation of this gland located in the center of our brain, among the 2 hemispheres of the same and focused with the cerebellum, will almost always be by malignant tumors or cells.In my case it was a benign tumor of about 25 millimeters in a gland the size of a tiny pea.With the need to remove that tumor (I was leaving myself blind and to continue there I would have killed me) the pituitary is reduced almost to nothing with which its production of hormones necessary for life is almost completely reduced. -As it is obvious, not in all cases affects the same type of hormones.In my case, it has condemned me to take the life of demopressin, which is the one that regulates the production of vasopressin, a hormone that regulates and controls the need to drink and urine.It has also affected me on the subject of libido and sexual impulse, which added to the erection problems caused by "normal diabetes" I find myother. -Ba basically this is what is about central insipid diabetes, which as I commented some lines, has nothing to do with diabetes mellitus i or II, but it does complicately complicated both, both things, -I hope you have taken out of doubt with the explanation and, of course, it is a pleasure to share it with you, since we come here to learn.
