Anonymous: I am a new(er) diabetic. And I'm getting the pump. I'm scared to actually use it because I don't have as much physical freedom. I am an active dancer. I already received the pump and am just waiting to be trained on how to use it. I'm not ashamed of having diabetes. I'm also scared of getting the brushes and scared tissue because of the sets. Help??
Anonymous: i feel like the only way i'll ever be able to fully connect with somebody is if they're a diabetic. nobody else really knows what i'm going through
I used to feel that way, too. But now that I look back, I realize that I was never able to connect with people because I didn’t want to talk about diabetes. I’m getting better at trying to let people understand.
I’ve made better friends this way (:
Anonymous: is it true that a symptom of insulin is hyper hidrosis (excessive sweating)? I've had it as long as I can remember (same with the diabetes) and it really is embarrassing...
Diabetes won’t usually cause excessive sweating though there are exceptions. It’s normally the medications that treat diabetes that can cause excessive sweating. Specifically, it’s when hypoglycemia takes place, that excessive sweating may occur.
Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar occurs if there is too much insulin in the body and too little glucose or sugar. This usually happens when a diabetic takes insulin shot without having enough food in his body. Then the inevitable symptoms appear: trembling, hunger, fatigue, a rapid heart rate, convulsions, confusion and excessive sweating. The symptoms appear when glucose levels in the blood drop below 60mg/dL (technically, hypoglycemia occurs when the glucose level drops below 70 mg/dL but its symptoms usually arise after the drop is large enough). Hypoglycemia can attack at night. It may or may not wake you up, but if you did the symptoms are the almost the same: a fast heart rate and night sweats. Don’t confuse it with conditions that have similar symptoms like perimenopause.Source: http://www.squidoo.com/diabetes-and-excessive-sweating
Anonymous: To the person who said they get sick after using Lantus, come to think of it, there was a stretch where I was feeling sick to my stomach in the mornings, so yes, about 12 hours after using it. Not sure if it was from the Lantus or not, but it lasted about a week or more, on and off. Haven't noticed if it is still happening..
clearyourheartandneverlookback: to the person having issues with the Lantus, it sounds like your allergict to it, talk to your Diabetes Center about it.
