God... I think I'm starting to realize that my doctor was a saint. I remember that she always had problems because she kept newly diagnosed diabetics in the hospital for so long. I also remember that when we ate, she looked at us sternly and forced us to eat another piece of bread if we didn't...

Wait.. in sponge?! but you might be able to do it with a sponge, but be scared when you have to inject yourself. It's scary! And if you decided not to do anything at all, thinking that these doctors are fools? Or if I would lie in the food diary?

they kept me in the hospital for a month and a half until I learned to count carbs and give injections. Moreover, my doctor demanded that I be able to do it, and not just my parents, although I had to learn the multiplication table for this. Sometimes I think my doctor was a strange but...

do doctors really let people go home with a drug like insulin without teaching them how to use it? I remember that I was forced to learn how to do it before they let me go home.

thanks. I thought it wasn't according to the rules :)

this is even more strange because it is very easy to do. Moderators, am I allowed to write on this forum how to calculate the dose of insulin for 10g of carbs?

Hmm, if you know how to count carbs and know what to do with hypo, then the actions of your doctors seem strange to me. They could just calculate your dose for 10g of carbs and tell you how to adjust it depending on bgl before eating. The most difficult thing in this is counting carbs... and if...

so you always eat the same thing? It seems to me that your doctors decided to protect you from hypo by prescribing a dose of insulin less than required. I think everything will get better as soon as they teach you to count it.

How do you inject insulin if you don't count carbohydrates? After all, we introduce a dose of bolus in accordance with the amount of carbohydrates eaten. Perhaps you just have an incorrect dose of insulin. Did the doctors discharge you from the hospital without picking up the dose? Usually...

Hmm... I have never been able to feel someone else's pain as my own, but in general I understand quite well what feelings a person next to me and I have always been able to provide good moral support precisely because I did not merge with someone else's suffering.

was it really more convenient than a regular injection? For some reason it seems to me that it is easier to make an injection with a regular syringe

I hope it will be an artificial pancreas, which also functions as the pancreas of a healthy person

wow! How cool! How did you do it? For my 19 years of diabetes, I have only a mild form of polyneuropathy, mainly it is manifested by the fact that my feet can freeze even in the heat

can I ask a stupid question? Why do ozempic and Metformin need for t1? Can we have insulin resistance? You've ruined my little world! I always thought that insulin is the cause of insulin resistance, and since we inject it quite a bit, the development of this is impossible. Heh, I have only 31...

I do not sure at what time the fetus develops a pancreas (5 weeks is obviously too early, it seems to be at 14 weeks), but it may happen that your baby's pancreas will work for the two of you and because of this, the baby may have severe hypoglycemia at birth. I think your doctor wants to...

I saw a post where looking for a owner for a diabetic cat. I've been wanting to have a cat for a long time, but I'm not sure I can adequately take care of someone. But I thought that probably a diabetic owner is the best option for a diabetic cat, because I know what to do with this disease...

when my gynecologist (she also has the qualification of an endocrinologist) prescribed hormonal contraceptives to me and everything got much better, but we picked up contraceptives for a long time so that their side effects and the side effects of insulin did not lead to anything bad

I found them in google :hilarious:

Same. I also never wanted to sleep with a high bg

it's funny, but until about the age of 13, I thought that the descriptions of hypo and spikes in books were wrong, because I don't feel all the symptoms and I feel some symptoms that are not mentioned :hilarious: , and then I realized that people just feel it differently. As a child, I thought...
