Good to all,
My name is Miguel, I am 33 years old and I was diagnosed with type I diabetes mellitus shortly after turning 18.I wanted to tell you my experience with diabetes, about a subject I was thinking about a few years ago, and it was about trying to think about a system with which to predict with relative accuracy the doses of insulin to administer in a certain meal.
There are many things that influence the final dose ... From the hours to which you make the food, the physical activity that a diabetic patient plays, the amount of carbohydrates that will eat, the glucose level before said food, etc.
At first I noticed carbohydrates, being the most immediate.He gave me to think, if the percentage of carbohydrates of the most common food is a public domain fact (50%bread, 75%paste, approximately 20%potatoes, why not extract from all the meals that we makeexact amount of intake carbohydrates we make.Easy if one has the habit of weighing food.In addition, a lettuce, tomato and onion salad, along with a veal fillet and a piece of bread would only have to weigh the bread, is feasible!
At first I helped myself with Excel ... It was a very simple spreadsheet.In addition, as Excel helps you extract from a series of data functions that approximate the data entered, it occurred to me to cross grams of carbohydrates consumed with rapid insulin doses (or preprandial) that I managed.I tried everything, logarithmic functions, exponential, although in the end I ended up using the one that seemed more logical, a simple linear function.
From Excel, I went to some scripts that I executed my computer, then I scheduI use every day.
In the end of taking care of only preprandial or fast insulins, taking into account carbohydrates, I ended up adding more and more functionalities so that all the contingencies with which I could find me were collected.
Since I finished the activity where I build the graphics, I have gradually lowering the HBA1C to 6.4% and continued down.Be careful, I do not speak of miracles, it is about making the mobile the one who remembers and not us.Each hyperglycemia always brought with it a study from the same application on the days, moments or circumstances that led me to suffer such hyperglycemia.It was about collecting the modification that would have needed so that whenever this circumstance is repeated again, it is collected by the application and is not repeated.
I do not understand me badly, I just want the following to help other diabetics, who like me suffer from the disease.It is not about spam, the application I am talking about is completely free, and without annoying advertising.Let's say I don't win a hard for it, although I didn't do it to earn money, but health.
To demonstrate this, I will not even say the name of the application.If someone is interested, I will give the data.It is published on Google Play.
Thank you very much for your time, and much encouragement!
Miguel
