Diabetes

Diabetes Mellitus affects the pancreas and Diabetes Insipidus affects the kidneys. Diabetes Mellitus is a condition that causes the pancreas to produce little or no insulin. Insulin is essential to the blood as it breaks down all the unwanted sugar in the bloodstream and can be naturally produced by the pancreas or artificially produced by doctors and scientists. I am sorry as i know very little about Diabetes Insipidus. i hope i have satisfied your request. :)

well if you have the symptoms, you MIGHT have the disease. If you think you have diabetes see your doctor right away. It's best no to wait for the symptoms severe because many things can go wrong and you could get very ill. Like I said before, and I can not stress this enough, If you think you have Diabetes, see your doctor asap!

Cholesterol is measured as the Serum blood level of a variety of fats and Lipids in the blood. The health level is very dependant on age and even gender. too little can be as harmful as too much so it is usually stated as TOTAL CHOLESTEROL range. and will usually be broken down into total and then the components>>>> A typical blood work up looks like this.

Total Cholesterol... Range from 100-199

Triglyceride's. Range from 0-149

HDL Cholesterol..... Range from >39 (Usually considered the BAD chol.)

VLDL.................... Range from 5-40

LDL...................... Range from 0-99 (Usually considered the GOOD chol.)

Extremely high HDL (High Density Lipids) indicate your blood is very waxy/ sticky and is clogging your arteries over time

Higher levels of LDL or VLDL (Low density Lipids) is considered healthy and offsetting to the bad.

The body uses Cholesterol to make the key sex hormones for the human body. Testosterone and Estrogen are key to healthy systems in the body including the reproductive and sexual response and development. Low cholesterol would adversely impact that development and high cholesterol can damage arteries, cause heard disease and has been associated with Alzimers disease.

There is not a cure for diabetes. Diabetes can however be controled by medication, insulin, diet, and exercise. There are different types of diabetes and therefore the treatment as far as medication or insulin is determined according to what type of diabetes you have. Cheyzer

"Yes, the hemoglobin ac1 is used as the most common test for blood sugar levels. It is what's used in a daily monitor that a diabetic uses to check their levels based on what their doctor has prescribed."

Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.

No, it's not too high, it's slightly elevated. The normal range for fasting blood sugar is 70-100 mg/dL. The goal is to keep it under 100mg/dL. What time did you eat? Don't eat anything after 9:00 PM and check it again in the morning. If its still at 106mg/dL or higher, contact your phsycian to check for possible insulin resistance.

Diabetes isn't caused by a virus. It is due to the improper working of the pancreas in the job it has making insulin. Risk factors include being overweight or obese and being physically active less than three times a week. Exercise and losing weight would be a good life style to aim for.

One of the causes of gestational diabetes is metabolic demands of pregnancy. Another cause of gestational diabetes is hormonal changes. These causes are also caused by genetic and environmental factors.

yes diabetes can be very fatal at times. if your sugar gets too low or too high you can end up in the hospital with a bunch of tubes in you. it happened to my sister like 4 times.

" A metabolic disease in which the body's inability to produce any or enough insulin causes elevated levels of glucose in the blood. "

Insulin is not produced by skin cells.

A blood sugar level table tells you how high or low your blood sugar is in comparison to the normal amounts of sugar that should be in your system. If your number is higher or lower, it will tell you what course of action needs to be taken, as in whether you should have some orange juice or not. A good table is available on all-about-beating-diabetes.com.

It probably means that your blood has stopped reaching the toe, Try putting your feat in warm water then very very cold water this should re-activate the nerves, then put sensible shoes on and go for a walk to the shop and back no more than a mile, sleep on it and in the morning they will see great!

Foods that diabetics should avoid: anything with sugar, foods high in carbohydrates (pasta, bread), caffeine (this causes a constriction of the veins and reduces blood flow). Foods that diabetics should eat: low GI / glycemic index vegetables such as broccoli, celery, spinach. Protein can come from turkey, chicken, beef or fish but pork should be eaten sparingly. Nuts, grains and beans are also excellent foods for diabetics but moderation is the key for all types of food regardless of the calories or carbohydrates.

It indicates that you have an elevated white blood count. An elevated white blood count is not specific for any condition, and may be caused by hundreds, if not thousands of conditions and medications.

Diabetes is not contagious. Being pricked with a used needle could give you blood-borne diseases if the person who previously used the needle had any. If the needle has been lying around for a while, you could get tetanus, just as if you had stepped on a rusty nail.

It is more likely that raised blood glucose, Diabetic Hyperglycemia, might raise the risks of getting certain kinds (while not all kinds) of cancer.

There are several hypothesises for why diabetics seem to be more prone to cancer, ranging from higher glucose level might favour the growth of tumours (nourishment), the insulin's functional similarity/association with growth hormones, other hormonal interferences, even the life style and circumstances that led to diabetes could themselves be causative factors, amongst quite a few other possible reasons.

Diabetics need to take care with diet but there are few foods that cannot be eaten. When and how much depend on the diet regime that each diabetic uses but fish and chips (chips being the British term for fries) would not be considered a prohibited food by most.

Diabetes is a physical condition

because it is the result of malfunctioning of the pancreas, an organ found in the abdomen that secretes insulin when high glucose levels are present in the blood, insulin is a hormone (chemical messenger) that simulates the liver to turn glucose into glycogen, thus regulating the blood glucose level. The brain is not involved, however abnormal glucose levels, too high or too low, can effect the brain.

No. Glucose is a high energy molecule that your body metabolizes to form ATP which is the main energy currency in the body.

Insulin is released by your body after eating. It's job is to store excess glucose as glycogen for later use.

In times of fasting when blood sugar is low, your body release glucagon which converts the glycogen back into glucose.

diabetes, hypoglycemia, and tooth decay are just a few of the many effect of long term high sugar intake.

Diabetic coma is a result of too much sugar in the blood (hyperglycemia) due to a lack of sufficient insulin production. Patients with severe diabetes take insulin injections to help suppliment their body's inability to produce enough insulin.

Insulin Shock is a result of too much insulin being released into the bloodstream, wich metabolizes whatever sugars ARE in the body sometimes resulting in an extremely decreased blood sugar level (hypoglycemia). These patients generally need to be given something sweet like OJ or a candy to help jolt sugar levels in the blood.
