Its starting

[cdpm]

I have my first diabetes infection. Pretty mad but scared too.

 

[EllieM]

I'm sorry about that @cdpm . Infections can generally be treated though? I've had plenty of urinary tract ones...

 

[cdpm]

I hope so. They gave me antibiotic cream to use for 2 weeks. It's a skin infection.
But I also knew a t2 who died from one!!

 

[EllieM]

I hope it isn't giving you too much pain and you recover soon.

Sending you some virtual hugs.

Thanks
It doesn't hurt alot thankfully

 

[cdpm]

I'm worried that the complications are starting. At least the ones I know about.

 

[cdpm]

Update
It looks better. The 2 weeks are up tomorrow.
It's not completely cleared so I might add a few more days.

 

[cdpm]

Well it's back but hurts worse this time.
Not interested in the fake help.
So just hoping this is not my end.

What do you mean @cdpm

What do you mean @cdpm

Doing or being given the same thing
Over and over
Never getting anywhere
Nothing ever getting fixed

Not meaning to sound harsh @cdpm do you do the things that you are advised to do? If so what are the outcomes? I know you’re desperate but you seem to flit between one thing and another quite quickly. Maybe try some of the things again and give them time to work?

 

[cdpm]

Your partially right.

But I'm not really the bow down to drs type. And don't put them on a pedestal.

We know our bodies better than anyone.

I get where you’re coming from but it’s not about bowing down or putting people on pedestals. It’s about giving the advice or treatment a genuine attempt and if it fails returning and having a productive conversation asking “what next?”.

A treatment that fails to achieve what you hope it will isn’t necessarily “fake help” which implies a deliberate attempt to deceive and not treat you. I doubt there are many medical personal out there doing that.

I don't really know how to explain what I said, what I meant.
Right now I'm having trouble understanding why is it acceptable to keep doing the same treatment over and over. Despite side effects . If I gain more weight from the insulin I will just need more insulin. I've been thru exactly that already.
I don't understand why we accept weight gain for type2 to be OK.
I asked the dr isnt there anything else that can be done but increase the insulin. He said no.

You might want to take a look at this video.

Sarah was treating many type 2 diabetics who were on increasing amounts of insulin and putting on a lot of weight.

I get what you're saying but getting your blood sugar levels under some sort of control must be the immediate priority. Then you'll need to work backwards - reduce a little weight, do what exercise you can and reduce insulin a little as your body hopefully become less insulin resistant. It will be a long but very worth while journey involving HCPs anyone close to you.

I have lots of the antibiotic cream given for it. Hopefully it helps again.
