I feel ignorant

Hello, I'm new to the forum and I wanted to count my experience with diabetes.I am 26 years old and I am a diabetics since the age of 9.In my childhood I was rigorously controlled by my mother, but when I reached adolescence I already started "controlling me" and doing things in my own way.Between studies and work he had a day -to -day life.The truth is that I did not eat correctly or have the control it owed.I went to my reviews if I left well with my work and studies schedules and therefore I did an analytical every time with my GP, which gave me some hemoglobins between 6'5 and 8, never exceeding this last value, so I reinforced myself and thought that I was not doing so badly and I was doing the diabetes so mine that I forget her.I punctured me simply before meals and when I noticed me badBut not the right thing to keep it in the appropriate parameters so it was always at the ends and hence the hemoglobin gave me normal (but I did not know this data).
A few months ago I was on the street and I began to convulse without losing knowledge, I had never happened to what I did not give him the importance, but a day happened to me again and if I worry.From there I began to feel very bad, with tingling and numbness in the body, the bad view, very tired, constant dizziness ... I went to the doctors and did not give importance ... that it was anxiety and that relaxed methat the analyzes did well so nothing, but that was when I have become aware of the disease and the complications it has ... because before I ignored everything.
I am currently trying to control the best possible, as if it were diabetic suddenly and starting to control the portions, exercise, food schedules, I have put in free freestyle sensor ... but the truth is that I see very difficultCarrying strict control because many things influence our sugar levels and in a way it also bothers me that I will ask for help from my doctors and how "everything is fine" think it is an obsession of mine to control myself.
Well, I just hope it's not too late now to do things well and be able to carry a good quality of life.

@Leticia21, Welcome.It is never too late that the neglect has been to such an extreme to lead to a secondary complication, in this case it would not be too late, but you would have to deal with more things.He created that you have found the way to follow, meal control, exercise and adjustment of insulin.This will not guarantee you always be in perfect glycemia, unfortunately in diabetes there are no exact mathematics or equal days, but you will have controlled diabetes and an acceptable quality of life in the face of this complications, in addition the freestyle will help you quite a lot to knowIn each moment, your blood glucose and how it tends or varies according to your habits or circumstances.It is a path as you will know of sacrifice, effort continued, dedication 24 hours and full of stones and potholes, all the ingredients for anyone to throw the towel.So much courage, welcome and here you will find people who know and advise very well and a corner to vent if necessary.Greetings and for what you need.

The truth is that as I have importance to diabetes, my friends and family now who see me worried with the symptoms I have do not understand.

And are you better?

The dizziness after almost two months suffering from them have been removed, but the theme of the tingling, tiredness and the sensation that I have the eyes persists.They have made me resonance, retinography ... and it has gone well ... I am glad but at the same time it frustrates me because they do not stop more in the complications of diabetes ... but will leave ...:-/

If you have made you brain resonance and they don't see anything, you will pass.It could be something secondary to strong hypoglycemia.You will be recovering little by little .. and now you will be well controlled,
What insulins do you use?

Well now I am with threeiba ... They changed it because I had many descents with the Lantus, but at first I was not going well with the threeiba ... in the early morning I was uploaded and I had to be correcting with quickly twice even for thenight to get well in the morning.I gave me 16 of Lantus and reached up to 25 from Tresiba ... now after 2 months much better in the early morning ... and going down the three I am going for 18

If I spent the same thing, it took May May with her at the beginning I put it in the middle of the afternoon 17.30 and I was high before going to do sports and before dinner, @regina recommended me to put it in the food with the humalog, that and goadjusting the dose, of 26 that were paid to 18 that I wear and now it seems that much better.

A control with a neurologist have you done it?If not, it would be important that you consulted with a specialist in neurology to eliminate the possibility of diabetic neuropathy ... I hope your symptoms pass and feel much better.

@nury the next week I have with the neurologist of the S.Social, to see if it tells me something different than the private ones ...

You must insist, if you have not already indicated it to you, the electromyography (EMG) does.A diagnostic test that consists of the insertion of a needle electrode into a muscle, this allows to analyze the electrical activity from the motor units close to said electrode and the electroneurography or ENG (they are considered part of the EMG) the test can be a littleannoyed by the puncture puncture ... but the important thing is to get out of your doubts and discard a diabetic neuropathy ..... the view, I think, if all the controls that the oculist has performed are Ok ... it isThat if your glucose levels were high ... to normalize because now you are attentive to have your pathology under control, it gives that feeling that you have a cloudy view ... the same thing happened to me, I almost didn't see .. then everything wasnormalize ... ... I'm type 2 ... Good luck !!

@nury have you done that test to you?For something in conctp?What they did to me ... after so many years of diabetics and saying that I was having the tingling and so that I would shut up, because according to it, my pathology is not from diabetes, it was to take the tension in both arms andIn the ankles and with an apparatus like the one used in the ultrasound, listenCold and hot key, a little shabby ...) and that consisted of the neurological test they did to me in the hospital

Yes, they did it on my legs ... He gave negative, after a strong treatment with metformin I began with terrible and unbearable discomfort in arms and legs, I had to take food integrators based on vitamins and other substance to help the nervesTo regenerate, it was a housing problem ... and they have already been passing .... Leticia, EMG electromyography and ENG electroneurography are tests that allow to locate with the greatest accuracy entrapments or injuries into isolated nerves or nerve groups, and diagnoseSpecific pathology of the peripheral nervous system ... for what you tell me they made a doppler ultrasound that allows the doctor to see and evaluate the circulation of blood through arteries and veins ... the other exam, that of the feet, the feet,It was for the sensitivity that you tell me is fine, and that is positive .... insist the doctor to do these tests, so you will feel calmer ... I don't know in your case ... I live in Italy and that testIt does not enter into the medical exams that the diabetics did not pay ... but it was not face, thirty and some euros ....
