You are not a diabetic until your blood sugar goes above 70-120 throughout the day and night.. A blood sugar can go higher than that after eating but it lowers quickly id you aren't a diabetic.

What happens with gestational diabetes?

Hormones produced during pregnancy can interfere with a woman's insulin production. She may need more insulin to process the glucose in her blood. Higher levels of glucose can cause hyperglycemia. Some women with gestational diabetes can control their blood sugar through diet and exercise, others may be insulin-dependent.


Can tonic water cure or break down diabietes?

There are 2 types of Diabetes:Type 1 Diabetes is often acquired prior to 20 yrs old, and thus often called Juvenile Onset Diabetes. It is characterized by autoimmune damage to the Pancreas, and the inability of the body to produce insulin. Without insulin the body is unable to absorb glucose. It responds by producing too much glucose, and breaking down fats as if it was starving. This can lead to very high blood sugar levels, and eventually coma and death.Type 1 diabetes must be treated with insulin injections.Tonic water might be good to drink, and would not give sugar spikes like other forms of soda. However, it would not "cure" type 1 diabetes. Perhaps it would be good between meals when one may not give additional insulin shots.However, keep in mind that Tonic Water would do nothing for the dangerous sugar lows and insulin overdoses. For those conditions, regular soda, juice, or candies are appropriate.------------------The other type of diabetes is appropriately named Type 2 diabetes. It is a bit more complicated. It is often adult onset, and is related to obesity and inactivity. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas produces adequate insulin, but the insulin receptors in the tissues do not respond appropriately to the insulin, again causing the blood glucose levels to get higher.Type 2 diabetes is treated with diet & medications that level out the sugar spikes after meals. Extreme cases may require insulin shots, often at relatively high doses. Often a single shot a day of long acting insulin is adequate to provide a background level of insulin.Tonic water might be appropriate because of low glucose and low calories (no sugar spikes & good diet drink). But it is unlikely to have any intrinsic benefit.Again, keep in mind that the tonic water will not provide benefit during sugar lows or insulin overdoses. Again, regular sodas, candies, juices, etc are appropriate in these cases.


Is type 2 diabetes noninfectious?

Answer to is diabetes contagiousNo, diabetes is definitely not contagious. When someone with diabetes does a finger poke or gives himself an injection he/she is careful to discard sharps safely and clean up any blood so that any one else could never get any contagious disease from those items. AIDS and hepatitis are two of the contagious diseases that need to be protected against. Hi Diabetes is not infectious at all. You CANNOT catch it. There are two types type 1 and type 2. Type 1 you just get, sometimes after a trauma ie illness or accident and your pancreas stops producing insulin and you immediately need insulin injections or via a pump. Type 1 is not the persons fault at all. It can be hereditary in some cases. Type 2, the sufferer can be prone to, it is mostly -about 95% - in overweight people. It tends to be in older people too. Sometimes it can affect normal weight people as well. This is where the pancreas doesn't produce as much insulin and type 2 can be treated with diet alone or diet, exercise and tablets or/and insulin.YOU CANNOT CATCH DIABETES FROM SOMEONE. It is the hidden disability condition. It is extremely serious and needs to be more broadcast.
