Letter from a mother of a diabetic child to her pediatric endocrine

When they diagnosed my son with 4 years Diabetes mellitus type 1, we never thought it was such a hard disease, in which he had to do hair glycemia (click on the fingertips) of about ten to twelve times a day, andPut from five to seven insulins a day.

For eight months we were totally lost, since the endocrine that had touched us at the Public Hospital of Oviedo did not teach us to calculate, despite hydrates, or how we should face the disease so that my son had a healthy and normal life.Until with the help of the Association of Diabetics of Asturias (ASDIPAS) we were advised to change the endocrinology service of the San Agustín de Avilés hospital.

There, Dr. Isolina Riaño Galán together with Cristina Rodríguez Delhi and her team, Ana and Begoña, taught us to control the diabetes of our son, with a good diabetological education, weighing hydrates, adjusting insulins ... Total dedication, often extra -limiting themselvesIn time with SMS, WhatsApp and infinite patience.

Isolina, from here to thank you for everything you have taught us so that my son makes a normal life, despite the hardness of his illness.Also thank you for the important work that you do organizing and collaborating in the camps of diabetic children, so that these children tomorrow have their own autonomy and learn to be free in their status as diabetics, disconnecting from their parents, often obsessed withThe control of sugar, and acquiring responsibilities and being consistent with the decisions they make when injecting insulin.

Also thank you for the tireless fight you do so that all children have insulin pumps and quality needles.

I hope that this new stage in HUCA serves to continue helping so many parents that we need it, and continue to train good professionals, which is missing in this complicated world of children's diabetes.

We will always be grateful.
