Good afternoon, my consultation comes following humor changes along with low sexual appetite, added to usual tiredness and intense headaches.
These 3 years together I have taken it well without affecting their diabetes in the relationship, luckily or unfortunately much of my family is also diabetic type 1.
The problem is that in two appointments with the endocrine it has had glucosiladas (I hope to say it well) of 8'7/ 8'8 when the diet has been the same.
The treatment is three doses and for corrections use Humalog in dose of 2-4 we ask for the pen in which the dose allows you 1'5 but the endocrine did not want although the nurse said that it was quite sensitive to the rapid.
We went to the nurse but her diet is correct and the correct glycemia that may be that at night they give it quite high glucose peaks.
But they did not make any correction of an increase in dose of insulin or anything just the opportunity to have a Humalog pen of average units but has not been granted and up to 6 months has no consultation.
And now he is very tired with 25 years, a more rancid humor and lack of sexual appetite completely.
I would like to understand how it affects to have this high glucosilada or with hyperglycemia of almost 300 or 180 on an empty stomach without having eaten in 8 hours.
I try not to overwhelm him in clicking his finger to see the level, sometimes I can be heavy and he is in a state that does not understand his body.
Because it has always had it regulated and has not varied at all its diet has only lowered its level of exercise for work but also left the previous one that was at night and in principle that was the problem but the 3 months that it was without it also did not improve.
I insist that other analysis is made again that looked ketosis or hormones to see if it is affecting your health, because those headaches that can last days and with paracetamol passes it.
In part I understand his fear but doing nothing is either the solution, he has been diabetic for more than 13 years
I would like to know firsthand how to act, at the sexual level I try not to press and if you have had a similar situation if you have affected you the same.
And how to understand those humor changes in which you can throw weeks on the defensive and with few samples of affection.
Although I have informed myself via the Internet, it is not the same as first -hand experiences or patients who can really understand that situation and how it can affect at the couple.
Thanks a lot
