    What is the fundamental difference between T1 and T3?

    my phlegmatic attitude like "nothing terrible is happening, it's just diabetes" is unlikely to be able to support anyone. Аs well as my behavior a la "you can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want, the main thing is to count the dose correctly and always carry sweets with you" is not...

    What is the fundamental difference between T1 and T3?

    Yes, she was prescribed enzymes, but I don't understand anything about enzymes because my pancreas produces them. This is an endocrinologist. Here, diabetics are not sent to the GP at all. She has the doctor's phone number, but the doctor replied with something like "because I know what's...

    What is the fundamental difference between T1 and T3?

    She showed the doctor's message, and she got it right. I don't understand such a reaction for tresiba, I would understand if it were for protophan or lantus, but it's really strange for tresiba. yes, but instead of reducing the dose, she is advised to eat more. Moreover, they advise eating...

    What is the fundamental difference between T1 and T3?

    My godmother recently had her pancreas removed and she thinks that if I have T1, then I can help her with her newfound diabetes, but I don't have only internal secretions, and she has nothing that the pancreas produces. When I said that if she has a lot of hypo, then she should reduce the dose...

    TIR vs Hba1c

    in principle, I would like less fluctuations between values regardless of TIR and HBA1. Changes of 5-7 units per hour bother me more than both hba1 and tir

    The Vagaries of The English Language

    after a good drink, this is a very appropriate phrase. Sometimes you really find yourself in the wrong places :hilarious:

    Monitoring App

    if you just need to enter readings and nothing else (databases with carbohydrate content in foods , calculation of hba1 , etc.), you can use a Google spreadsheet. It's free, convenient, and you can enter formulas or plot graphs.

    The Vagaries of The English Language

    Haha, @Antje77 , you mentioned in the topic about the language of a person who practically does not speak English :hilarious: This is the first time I've seen half of the words on the list at the top. I'll be proud of myself if I put the verb in the right tense without a Google translator.

    The Look

    It always seems to me that no one cares what I buy or what I do. Sometimes people don't notice if I give myself an injection while sitting next to them in a cafe. At first, I thought these people were just being polite, but then I realized that they really didn't notice. "Oh, I didn't know you...

    Online dietician recommendation?

    Why not? You don't have diabetes and it doesn't make it any easier for your child that her family is suffering too. People are generally poorly able to provide support when they feel bad themselves, so do something nice for yourself. She needs a happy parent much more than the feeling that the...

    Accepting that a part of your body doesn't work as it should, or how to get used to a minor disability?

    don't tell anyone this secret, but in most cases we just Google faster than others :hilarious: but in general, I did not mean the work of a programmer, but for example a manager (technical skills are needed at the level of working with word and excel, but the ability to interact with...

    Accepting that a part of your body doesn't work as it should, or how to get used to a minor disability?

    It's probably as frustrating as admitting that your pancreas is no longer working. But diabetes didn't stop you from living a full life, did it? At least you were a cool moderator, so you can look for a "normal" job in IT or something related to communicating with people, because you're great at...

    What was your diagnosis experience like?

    I was lucky both with the diagnosis and with the first endocrinologist. I was 8 years old, my mother's sister, who works as a paramedic, came to visit us, she noticed that I had symptoms of diabetes and took me to the hospital. It was traumatic for my parents, of course, but my only bad memory...

    Kidney function

    Well, you asked if there was a connection or not :) here is the article https://dmsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1758-5996-1-10 What medications did your nephrologist prescribe for you? usually, nephroprotectors are prescribed, but it all depends on how bad your tests are. In the...

    Of course there is. Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most common complications. Why are you asking?

    Broken Lancet Device

    since these devices usually have the same principle of operation, I can assume that you need insert the fallen off part into the top and turn it. If the lancet pen is completely broken, you can unscrew the lower part and get a needle with which you can prick your finger.

    Laser Therapy for Hair Removal

    when I wanted to do this, I was told that since with diabetes the vessels are more susceptible to injury, and any wounds heal more slowly, the risk of burns, hemorrhages, wounds and infection is high, and that you should not put your health at risk just for the sake of beauty. But my diabetes...
