it is clear that every person sometimes does not behave very well, and to condemn someone for sometimes trying to explain his point of view not with words, but with his fists would be stupid, but, the development of biological weapons?! What the hell, Fred?!

I want to argue with someone about Banting, Best and the discovery of insulin. They saved my life (and since you're on this forum, they probably saved your life too), so I treat them like gods, but when I read their biographies, I want to say "what kind of bad people are you (the rest of the...

How are you, child? Please us old people and tell us that you don't have diabetes

sometimes it seems to me that my relationship with doctors is strange, because we have each other on social networks, I know when their children's birthdays are and I congratulate them on all holidays :hilarious: sometimes I post stories on Instagram where I drink sweet cocktails with friends...

I don't understand in any way what gestational diabetes has to do with it, because by definition I can't have it (haha, what is dead may never die). It's just hard for me to find doctors who didn't attribute any of my ailments to diabetes. My ophthalmologist has already changed three jobs, and I...

What a responsible attitude you have towards your health in your incomplete 12! Thirst and frequent desire to go to the toilet are indeed symptoms of diabetes, but not only diabetes. It's good that you passed the tests, but while you're waiting for the results, don't screw yourself up. I also...

At 69, it's probably very scary, because you have to change your life. Sometimes I think that people like me who were diagnosed as a child are in some way more fortunate. I hope the injections don't scare you and I hope that you have a good doctor who doesn't put emotional pressure on you. I...

what a good question! It really costs me a lot of work to find doctors who could provide normal care :D

the concept is certainly true, a person has the right even to commit suicide if he wants, but he should know the consequences of his choice and not think that metformin is kidney failure, and refusal of metformin is "everything will be fine"

There are many other medications besides metformin. gliclazide, insulin, etc. All medications have side effects, but these side effects do not exceed the side effects of diabetes. I would not like to frighten your husband, but diabetes can also lead to kidney failure, as well as vision loss...

bruises are common if you get into a vessel, but if this happens too often, take a shorter needle (I have a 6mm needle) Here is a picture showing where you can give injections. It doesn't hurt in any place, but it's more convenient to prick in the stomach

Oh my God, how actual it is! My trips to the doctor often look like this "Doctor, I'm worried about this" "Don't make it up, you're young, what can bother you?" "But I have diabetes for 18 years" "Oh, well, then it's all from diabetes" or even more interesting "give birth and everything will...

A little advice for your wife: if you lose consciousness from hypoglycemia (and as I understand you don't have glucagon), she should smear the inside of your cheek with honey or sugar diluted in water. And if you can't afford yourself a low-carb diet, ask your doctor for a novorapid and inject...

I buy socks without an elastic band and am very happy because ordinary socks overstretch my legs too much

Извините, у меня и так пол семьи сейчас под Черниговом, так что если я еще за кого-то переживать начну, моя психика просто не вынесет этого. Чем смогла помогла, больше не знаю, что сказать

Бог весть как там в Финляндии с медициной, но метод "пожаловаться вышестоящему" по идее должен везде работать. Главное письменно жалуйтесь, а не устно. Понятия не имею, чем вам еще помочь, разве что посоветовать связаться со своим лечащим врачом из Украины, если вам просто консультация нужна, а...

the first thing that comes to my mind is that these are the consequences of hypos... hypos are very dangerous for the brain (haha, it sounded like you didn't know that)

May I tell you that happiness is not in food? Yes, your diet will change, but your life will not become much more limited from this. Believe me, it's not so difficult to get used to a change of diet. I'm not a vegetarian, but there are many delicious low-carb dishes. From vegetarian, the first...

I know the difference, it's just that the word "ketones" makes me have unpleasant memories of a pre-comatose state. It's funny enough to notice for myself when I seem to know that what a person is talking about is good, but memories still pop up in my memory

As for many t1, ketones are primarily associated with ketoacidosis for me, so it's a little surprising to me to hear someone talk about ketones as something good:hilarious:
