Presentation

Good greeting to all, I am Rober and I tell you a little my things hehehe.

It turns out that due to a fungus that came out in my tongue, my doctor suspected that I could be diabetic and sent me an analytical, the result you can imagine.Well, since Monday I am diagnosed as type 2 diabetic.

The treatment to continue apart from exercise and food with which I am very lost to have been metformin, start with one to see how I feel and to my surprise, how could it be otherwise feel fatal, beautiful nausea and stomach discomfort so it has told me that I take half to see how it goes.The truth is that with Media it has not gone badly so I will start taking twice a half -day pill to try Puffffff than Agonia.

Well and if this were not enough, the situation has overcome me and I know that it is something to live together for a lifetime, but since my head is always going to a thousand because it turns out that it has resulted in a good anxiety that little by little I am already controlling.

And little else, just send you a greeting that every advice is welcome since I give birth from 0 to knowledge about this subject and I read you through the forum to learn everything I can before asking silly questions 🫡

@BER: Diabetological education is very important if you want to control your diabetes.Medication is important but not enough when it comes to diabetes.

Talk to your nurse and inform you of whether they do any training or course for patients in your area.

And if you have any association of diabetics nearby, my advice is that you go there as soon as possible.

Welcome, @Ber!😊

The first, quiet, that here are many who have gone through that first impact of the diagnosis, and I assure you that over time everything is settled.It is normal to feel a bit overwhelmed at the beginning, but the important thing is that you are already taking action and wanting to learn, and that says a lot.

About theMetformin, what is happening to you with nausea and discomfort is quite common.Many people improve taking the pill with food or just after eating, and in many cases the body is getting used to the days or weeks.If you see that it still does not sit well, there are also other options that you can comment with your doctor.

Regarding thefeeding, it is normal to feel lost at the beginning, but do not worry, that here in the forum you will find a lot of information and practical advice.The fundamental thing is to learn to know how you respond to food, prioritize real food, reduce ultraprocesses and adjust carbohydrates according to your tolerance.You will see that it is not a strict diet but a change of habits that, over time, becomes something natural.

And about theanxietyIt is completely understandable.Accepting the diagnosis takes time, but you are not alone.The best thing you can do is go little by little, give yourself margin to learn and not demand too much from day one.Here you have a community that supports you, so any doubt or moment of downturn, share it that surely there will be someone who understands you and throws a hand.

A lot of encouragement!And you will see that in a short time you will be you who is giving advice to the new 😉
