Diabetes

None ... but I think you're looking for scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C.

Before the days of supplements, this was a common condition among sailors. (hence "limy" for British sailors.

Diabetes is defined as hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) due to ineffective insulin signalling.

If your blood sugar is high and it doesn't decrease efficiently after meals, you have either type I or type II diabetes.

Yes, if type 1 diabetes is left untreated or blood sugar levels become highly elevated the body begins to produce chemicals called ketones. These Ketones will build up in the blood. This condition is called diabetic ketoacidosis. Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis are: * Flushed, hot, dry skin. * Loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and vomiting. * A strong, fruity breath odor(similar to nail polish remover or acetone). * Rapid, deep breathing. * Restlessness, drowsiness, difficulty waking up, confusion, or coma. Young children may lack interest in their normal activities.

Like with any animal one of the first signs to look for is excessive thirst and urination. Wounds that are slow to heal. Horse may become much too fat or a poor keeper, either way they will become lack luster. The only way to tell for sure if in doubt is a blood test by vet, and till the vet arrives cut out all sweet feed and feed something like Strategy or just a good quality hay and pasture diet.

Your medical physician will be able to provide you will high cholesterol and triglyceride information, diet, medication, and an exercise program. You may be referred to a dietician and/or a sports trainer.

No. You may kill him. Fluid given to unconscious person will go to his respiratory tract. Never give any thing orally to unconscious patient. Very little fluid can choke him to death. He needs intravenous glucose. Fortunately, you usually get enough time to give intravenous glucose solution. It is one of the most dramatic situation, in your medical practice, to see the sudden recovery of the serious patient.

that's case to case basis if the patient has been experiencing hypoxia for the past 5-10 mins that is very dangerous to the patient cos it may cause irreversible brain damage cos hypoxia leads to hypoxemia that's the first thing you should worry about..

and the other case is if he/she is prone or begins to hyperventilate that leads to hypoxia which in turns to hypoxemia (inadequate oxygenation of the blood) then you should first give the patient sufficient O2 to prevent or lessen the possibility of client having hypoxemia...

i think when the patient is in the hypoxemic stage it is automatically severe and dangerous and it needs critical care...

Dates are the fruit of the date palm tree and are grown primarily in dry, arid regions, such as the Middle East and parts of California. One of the main reasons people avoid eating dates is the belief that they will raise their blood sugar levels, but studies have shown that belief to be erroneous. The study shows that while dates contain high amounts of natural sugars, they are actually a low glycemic index food and did not significantly raise blood sugar levels after they were eaten.

type 1 diabetes is when your pancreas does not make enough insulin.

Simple Carbohydrates

White foods, white sugar, white rice, white pasta, white potato, white rice, bananas, peas corn and the like

The glycemic index of 100 grams of grits is about 40. The glycemic index is a measure of the effect of different carbohydrates on blood glucose levels.

They go into a thing called death,

I found a website on the internet that claims to help diabetics loose up to 10 pounds in 5 weeks. The link is: http://healthnews.ediets.com/diabetes-meal-plan/. This website also provides you with sample meal plans and helpful information for diabetics wanting to loose weight.

Nicholas Jerry Jonas, otherwise known as Nick Jonas was diagnosed with Type 1: Diabetes in 2005 at the age of 13. Nick constantly asked if it meant that he was going to die (which I'm sure that all of you would do) but the doctor said he wouldn't if he took care of himself. Nick Jonas is usually a pretty nice, quiet guy, but when he was suffering from the issues of the diabetes (before he was diagnosed) he was unusually crabby and drank a lot of water. Nick lost about 15 pounds and you could see his ribs. He had to inject himself with insulin, but then discovered the OmniPod. The OmniPod attaches to his skin and delivers insulin to his body when it needs it, so he doesn't have to worry about giving himself shots in weird places.

Blood sugar varies a lot over the day, between about 67mg/dL and about 140mg/dL in normal people. The lower levels are expected when fasting (like when you have just woken up), and the higher levels right after eating and for about 2 hours. If you have just woken up after not eating for 8 hours, then 126mg/dL is considered too high and a likely sign of diabetes. Above about 180, your kidneys will start to filter out sugar and excrete it in urine, leading to the primary symptoms of diabetes: dehydration, excessive urination, and gradual starvation. Above this level for long periods of time (weeks) can cause cumulative damage to organs, eyes, fingers and toes.

425-900+ is life threatening immediately and may lead to diabetic coma.

Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can be associated with changes in mood. However, this typically occurs only with extremely high or low blood sugar levels.

It's important to remember that many factors can contribute to mood changes in people who have diabetes. It can take time to adjust emotionally to a diabetes diagnosis, as well as the need to manage the disease. This adjustment can be especially challenging during adolescence.

Encourage your son to check and record his blood sugar level consistently - and specifically when you notice a mood change. If your son's mood swings occur often or become a persistent problem, consult his doctor. The information in your son's blood sugar log may help the doctor make adjustments to your son's diabetes treatment plan, if needed. If factors other than blood sugar level seem to be at play, the doctor may recommend consulting a mental health professional.

the pancreas

No.

Because of the viscous blood when there is hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus, the blood circulation in the eyes becomes slow or sluggish. This will result in blurring or vision of the person affected.

People who have diabetes have a lack of insulin in their blood. Insulin is made in an organ called the pancreas. Insulin is important to allow glucose (blood sugar) to get into the cells of the body. Put another way, insulin opens the door to let blood sugar to enter most cells in the body. Blood sugar is a food for the bodies cells. If insulin is low or absent in the blood then the cells don't get fed the blood sugar they need. If the blood sugar can not get into the bodies cells then it builds up in the blood stream and the sugar count increases on the blood tests that we do. Also, as the blood sugar increases and can not get into the bodies cells it has the effect of drawing water out of the cells and shrinks them up making them even less healthy.

The nerves in the body are affected a bit differently. Nerve cells will allow blood sugar in with out insulin, however without insulin present the sugar is not used by the nerve cell properly and the sugar accumulates in the cell. Over time this will damage the nerve cell and cause the nerve to die. This causes numbness and tingling in the feet and sometimes in the hands.Blood vessels are also made up of cells. As the sugar builds up in these cells it swells them up and this causes a narrowing of the blood vessel. This causes a decrease in the circulation to the feet, the kidneys and the eyes. This is why people with diabetes often loose their legs their eye sight and kidney function.

It is very important that people with diabetes learn about their condition, control their blood sugar,and exercise.

Doctors are sometimes able to give people a warning before they develop full blown diabetes. This is because blood tests, such as the A1C, can pinpoint individuals who have symptoms of pre diabetes and are at risk for developing the disease. People with pre diabetes should follow the same eating and lifestyle plans recommended to people who already have the disease. Regular exercise along with a healthy eating plan can help delay or even prevent the onset of full blown diabetes. Focus on whole grain products, fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy products and lean protein sources for your daily meals.

my dad is diabetic and has followed a special diet, over a period of roughly 7weeks he has gone from an XXL to a S. he has done this by not eating carbohydrates and fruit. also not eating anything that grow's underground and hard cheeses.

The answer is yes, but in moderation. When alcohol is consumed, the liver works hard to remove the excess alcohol from your blood. Because the liver is working on managing the excess alcohol in your blood, the liver's ability to release or produce glucose decreases, causing hypoglycemia. Taking Insulin, and other diabetic medications that stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin may further increase the risk for hypoglycemia if alcohol is consumed. Make sure to consult with you physician before drinking any type of alcohol, especially if you are on medications.

1 1/2 oz of gin is considered one alcoholic drink. And each alcoholic drink counts as 2 servings of a fat exchange.

I wouldn't buy diabetic shoes if I were you, unless you also want to buy shoe-insulin.

Insulin is a hormone, usually stored in an innocuous solution, perhaps with a few preservatives.

I am not a doctor, poison control can always give you a better answer.

However if there is any concern I would assume that a 15-minute standard flush with water or sterile saline solution would be all that is needed, as insulin does not contain anything caustic, acidic or alkaline.

I doubt that much is even necessary.

However, as the eye contains a very active blood flow and is somewhat permeable, if you are diabetic it may be a good idea to monitor your blood sugar more carefully than usual until you are sure you have not absorbed any. You should still not miss any regular correction doses, standard doses or long-acting doses, however.
