Good night,
First of all I put a little in context everything, I present myself: my name is Laura and I am 30 years old, in February I was diagnosed with Diabetes type Lada Autoimmune (as they told me it is part of the type 1 diabetes).I have always been a person quite thin by Constitution, athletic and who has done a lotI have reduced meat consumption and increased fruit and vegetable consumption).I measure 1.75 and I have always weighed among the 55-57kg.Since the age of 12 I have psoriasis and since the 16-17 psoriatic arthritis (in addition to migraines from the age of 3 and headaches in clusters for two years, but the latter are not autoimmune diseases, although they are very painful and very desperate diseases).
Since they gave me the news, I have not had a specific professional that has constantly followed me.Every time I returned to consult I was a different person (8 times, 8 different people), one of the time the endocrine told me that I was referred to the hospital valuing and recommending the admission, what was my surprise that when opening the door of theI consult the hospital was that same endocrine, which told me that we saw each other better in 3 months because she still didn't know what to do with me.His star phrase when I told him that I came abroad to work (3 months) was "good, in France you also have very good endocrine that can monitor you."In France you need the health card, which takes more than 3 months to arrive (I should arrive in two weeks .. just before I leave, go), without the health card you cannot access insulin, for example (not even paying the€ 200 that costs).In fact, in the middle of the contract I made a trip to Spain to bring me insulin.
Until the last consultation, visit number 8 (06/14/18), I was not guided insulin, until that moment I had been with metformin (with enough hypoglycemia especially at night) but at no time have I been controlled.Very variable profiles (hyper and hypo) and increasing glycosylated hemoglobin.In that consultation I was paid 6ud for Levemir and "The fast insulin is already trying."
Since June I have won 8kilos, they can say that insulin does not fat but as I have changed the injection zone I have seen how it swelled (first the gut and now the legs), in fact I have the body full of "balls"From the first day I punctured me insulin, I continue to exercise (I go for a run and swim twice a week) and I have not returned to my usual weight, which I feel in a body that is not mine at all.And for a year the stomach's mouth zone has hurt a lot all the time.
But not only do I despair seeing myself in a body that is not mine, I have been exhausted to have to be duels every year for every new disease that I add to "my backpack", I despair me feeling sick and sad all the time.I don't know if you can help me.: _ (
*** Ah, as I have been reading experiences of people with diabetes, practically everyone has been admitted to the beginning to get control of their diabetes and learn to develop with it, I feel very lost with this and depress myself very much.
I am very sorry for the sheet that I have given you, thanks to who has read here.
