Diabetes
Diabetes is caused when the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone needed to convert sugar, starches, and other foods to energy. Causes are not known, but appear to be both genetic and environmental, with being overweight and not getting exercise being contributing factors. This category is for questions about Diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2, Gestational, and Pre-diabetes, and all questions related to them.

Is sweetex sweetener suitable for diabetics?
Sweeteners is dangerous diabetes patients since they provide quick energy and a concentrated source of calories hence it can be bad for them.
Why are some patients of diabetes treated by giving injections of insulin?
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas, which regulates the sugar level in the blood.
When this hormone is not synthesised in sufficient amounts naturally by the person's own body then the sugar level in their blood rises and the persons suffer from diabetes.
Sometimes it is possible to control diabetes by diet alone, which means that injections are not needed, but most often insulin injections are needed to "top up" the body's own production of the hormone.

How can I prevent adult onset diabetes.?
One can avoid adult onset diabetes by constant exercise and workout. In addition, one can avoid adult onset diabetes by controlling what one eats to healthy food.
- Type I diabetes, sometimes called juvenile diabetes
- Brittle diabetics are a subgroup of Type I where patients have frequent and rapid swings of blood sugar levels (This can be an offensive term to type 1 diabetics because all type one diabetics have rapid swings, it's a daily part of life.)
- The more common form of diabetes, Type II
- Another form of diabetes called gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy and generally resolves after the baby is delivered. and death do u part
How does insulin controls blood sugar levels?
The pancreas (and, specifically, the beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas). However, even though production of insulin occurs in the pancreas, regulation of insulin release and levels occurs via feedback from blood glucose concentrations.
What do plants use the energy stored in glucose for?
They use it to make reactions with CO2 molecules to form the carbohydrates.
Can the flu shot cause your blood sugar levels to rise?
Diabetics are at higher risk of getting complications from the flu, so the affect they get from a flu vaccination could be a life-saving one. It is recommended by medical professionals that diabetics do receive the flu vaccines as soon as possible once the vaccines are available each year to protect them from the infection and from serious complications from the flu virus.
When a person with diabetes is acting unusual it is best to..?
have them test their blood sugar...they might be low, in which case they should eat something with carbs
Where can I find good diabetic cook books?
The best way to find a good recipe book for diabetic diets would be asking a health consultant at health food shops, a professional trainer or a doctor - these people are usually more qualified to help you with such matters.
How many people does diabetes affect out of 100?
I would think that every two or three would have diabeties! my cousin, and my two grans have got it, so eah about every 2 or 3! x
What is longest acting insulin?
Longest acting insulins iclude insulin glargine and insulin ultralente
What are uncommon symptoms of diabetes?
1. Why intracellular glucose concentration is not determined instead of plasma glucose concentration? 2. If it is measured in experiemnts how does it correlate with the plasma glucose levels or what are the corresponding values? 3. Is not there intacellulare starvation of glucose, if blood glucose is increased because of defective utilization? 4. If there reduction in the carbohydrate and fat intake, would not it mean that there is proportinate increase in proteins? Would not it be detrimental to kidney? 5. What is the assurance that plasma glucose is not affected by variable absorption and variable excretion in faeces? 6. Would not the variable energy output affect the blood glucose (Without deterioration of glucose metabolism)? 7. If the glucose inrake is reduced, would not it deprive the normal stimulation of insulin secretion? Would it not be alright therefore to include normal (not excessive) sweet items in diet? 8. Why is the scientific stress management (pivotal in prevention and management of hundreds of disease conditions including diabetes ) not taught in all the education courses and on electronic media? 9. How many studies have correlated the stress and dibetes mellitus quantitatively? 10. How many studies have correlated dibetic complications with the blood glucose levels? 11. Why don't the practitioners of allopathy study and use Ayurvedic remedies and pranayam in diabetes?
What should you do if your blood sugar is over 400?
You would be dead... but if somehow you're not you need Insulin, and a lot of it.
Whoever wrote this knows nothing about blood sugar levels. Although it is dangerous you wouldn't simply die when your sugar goes over 400. What you should do is go to the er so they can get your levels down asap
How can you lower your blood sugar quickly?
From a 57 year old diabetic, insulin-dependent since age 8, on an insulin pump since 2000: 1. Watch your blood sugars! Yes, blood glucose meter strips are expensive - if you have insurance they're covered - and knowing where you are from day to day and even hour to hour if you need to is the key to controlling your long-term average (hemoglobin A1c or HbA1c for short). Test frequently until you're comfortable with how your body reacts to different foods at different times of day under different circumstances (exercise, activity level, stress, etc.). If you're insulin-dependent you may need to do many injections a day to maintain control. Talk to your Dr. 2. EXERCISE REGULARLY!!!!! I can't tell you what a huge difference this makes in smoothing out the highs and lows I experience. This is important, and critical for type II's! It makes a difference for me of roughly 5 poiints on the HbA1c scale. I do weight training followed by even as little as 20" of cardio work , and longer when I can,at the middle of my age-predicted target number. I get in some exercise at least 3 days a week, and feel better if it's more like 4-5 times per week. During times when I couldn't exercise regularly, it was hell trying to control my blood sugars. It lessens any tendency toward depression, which diabetics are especially prone to. Look at the statistics on how much a lower HbA1c prevents the onset of complications like retinopathy, kidney disease, and neuropathy. My eyesight has been steady since 1982 when I had extensive laser treatments which saved the vision in one eye, but I totally lost all vision in the other. I've had no further deterioration since then because of the wake-up call that gave me! Most of neuropathy I had at that time have almost completely been reversed. 3. If you haven't done so yet, try to get some sessions with a DNE (diabetes nurse educator). That person will give you info, advice, and analyses of your diet, carbohydrate ratios (if you take insulin), and lots of other info to help you take control of your own life. Ask your Dr. to refer you. Almost all insurance plans cover varying numbers of visits. 4. Hope and pray that some better coverage for insulinand glucose test supplies gets passed along with whatever health plan our congress comes up with to prevent very pricey complication treatments so we can all avoid them!
What do you do when a diabetic has sudden low blood sugar?
Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) can cause unconciousness quite quickly. If the patient is conscious then you can give them a sugary drink (eg lucozade). If they are unconscious, giving anything by mouth can cause choking. You can carefully apply hypostop (glucose gel) to the gums which is rapidly absorbed. Alternatively they will need an injection of gucagen which mobilises the glycogen reserves in the body.
High blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) can only be treated by injection of insulin which balances the system and thereby lowers the blood sugar level. An unconcious patient will typically require urgent hospitalisation to achive this.
If you have diabetes do you feel weak if you dont have enough sugar in your blood?
The only time that a diabetic person loses alot of weight (becomes thin) and feels weak because of the diabetes itself is when the blood sugar is very high. This can be either before diagnosis (in fact this is a prime Why_do_diabetics_become_thin_and_feel_very_weak) or when there is not enough insulin in the body. Many type one teenage diabetics will deliberately omit the insulin for weight loss.
hope this did not help
Is passion fruit can cure diabetic?
Yes i hope ...because while eating the passion fruit, the glucose in our body is converted glucose to some other product...but we need to confirm what's the product..research is going on...
Do Regular Insulin same with actrapid insulin?
I wouldn't say so, if you want fast acting insulin use novorapid, actrapid is good for long lasting carbohydrates eg. bread.
What is a good sample breakfast menu for diabetics?
Whole wheat toast causes a slower rise in sugar. Oatmeal is good as it has a low glycemic index too. Cinnamon has been shown to help control sugars too. as always balance your meal with fruits or veg.
If your doctor suspects you may be at risk for diabetes, he may order tests to determine if you have the disease or at risk for developing. Risk factors include being over weight and having a family history. Sudden weight change, high blood pressure, obesity, excessive thirst, frequent urination and exhaustion may all be reasons why your doctor wants to have you tested. Testing for diabetes is done with a simple blood test. Your doctor will probably have you fast for twelve hours before having the blood drawn. The test will quickly determine the blood sugar levels in your body.
Why take colloidal silver when you are a diabetic?
When dealing with Diabetes, there are many reasons to consider the use of colloidal silver because high sugar levels can affect every part of the body, every organ and even every nerve, viruses and bacteria love sugar, and then noble metals in the body, in fact viruses and bacteria thrive where there is sugar, many viruses and bacteria have been associated with cancer, like the retrovirus and Candida, which also thrive on sugar.
Many people have lost their limbs due to infections in their feet, or some untreated cut or bruise that quickly got severely grew out of control to the point where doctors had to amputate their infected limbs that would no longer respond to antibiotics. It is a well known fact that silver kills well over 650 different viruses and bacteria, but not just any colloidal silver will do the trick, because there are a lot of factors determine the effectiveness of the colloidal silver you choose and these are some of them:
Particle Size is the Key:
Particle size is the key to effectiveness, first you have to find the smallest particle size achieved. After years of searching, I could not find anything smaller than a Silver Atom. While there are many colloidal silver makers and sellers of do it yourself kit that "trumpet" the smallest particle size, and after careful due diligence you realize that they actually have nanoparticles which are 250 Million times larger than an atom, and many of the nanoparticles are actually the same size as the virus. So what does this mean to you? The nanoparticle can never penetrate INTO the virus, while an atom will penetrate right through the outer cellular membranes of the invading critter. So the ATOM particle size is superior in efficiency and the ability to get the job done.
Parts Per Million (PPM):
Parts Per million is actually the parts of Silver in relation to the million parts of the chemical solution or distilled water. This is a very touchy subject in which nanoparticle producers ferociously will tell you that you do not need high PPM and that it is overkill, etc, etc, the fact is that they cannot compete atom size particles that can SAFELY deliver PPM concentrations anywhere from 20, 50, 100, 2000, 3000 to 18000 PPM while they can only deliver in impotent 20 PPM.
High PPM is extremely important because there can be 3000 to 18000 PPM of Silver Atoms in a solution, versus a puny 20 PPM of nanoparticles that can never penetrate into the target, low PPM products will take much longer to work than silver atoms, and then there is the "Toxicity Factor" You have to worry about.
Toxicity Factor: It is the Chemicals that most Colloidal silver producers use that create the Toxic Side Effects. AVOID CHEMICALS at all costs! I am a firm believer in Colloidal Silver and its applications toward health benefits, but the Chemical side effects are the reasons for the reported Toxic Chemical Colloidal Silver side effects, combined with the other chemicals that you are already consuming in medicines, or processed foods adding more to your diet is never a good thing.
Many Colloidal Silver producers offer confusing and misleading information, reading the back of the label of the products you would think that there are no chemicals, but actually many products are mislabeled for example the label may read: "Colloidal Silver………………. 10 PPM" this is wrong and should raise all kinds of red flags, because there is no single element such as "Colloidal Silver" the label should read "Silver…………………..10 PPM" that is a method of deception used to avoid disclosing what chemicals they use.
Unfortunately many people fall prey to clever promoters and actually buy the inferior products. So how can you tell if you bought a chemically saturated colloidal silver or not?
Answer:
Simply pour it into a Clear Glass container, Freeze it, after frozen let it thaw out, you will find that the silver solution you purchased has all of the chemicals dropped to the bottom of the vessel along with the silver nanoparticles. Why did this happen?
Because Nanoparticles are Huge and Heavy and they cannot possibly stay suspended in a solution without the help of the chemicals.
Apples for Apples Colloidal Silver Atoms Meets and Exceeds all standards set for the colloidal silver industry with far more variations of PPM and even other noble metal products.

Which organ does diabetes primarley affect?
the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), nerves, kidneys, digestive system; in reality- most of your organs will be somewhat affected since the blood vessels travel to alot of organs and excess sugar is present in your blood stream
