Hello everyone.

Today two months ago they detected the diabetes.I spent a week admitted in the Christmas, I entered with very high glucose levels, the apparatus measured 700, and marked error.Until the fourth day I already had 240, and when I left I had 120.

Since then I only have slow insulin at night, and two metformin pills.And my controls have gone down.I have been with hypoglycemia for a week, today I woke up with 61. In fact, practically as before, except foods rich in sugar, such as soft drinks, and things like that.

I still don't tell me what diabetes I have, some reports say it is lada, others that Moody and others than the two.The nurse that gives education tells me that I forgot to take away the insulin, my general practitioner tells me that, in fact I have dropped from 30 units to only 14.

Is all this normal?The question is absurd, because when they told me that I had diabetes, I thought I would have to inject daily, weigh the food, and I don't know a lot of vocabulary because I only know how to check my glucose and inject my insulin once a day.

Thank you for reading, and if you answer, I have many doubts.
