Diabetes

prolonged exposure to high hormone concentrations desensitizes the target cells, so that they respond less vigorously to hormonal stimulation. This "down-regulation" involves loss of receptors and prevents the target cells from overreacting

I know that it's about 50-100 people a day, I man, that's what I heard. Most of my family has Type-1, bt I think that most of these are people who don't know they haveit or elderly people who just died with diabeties.

High blood sugar (glucose) levels in the blood are the number one reaction to a decrease in insulin secretion.However, lack of insulin secretion over time can also contribute to an individual obtaining Diabetes.Therecan also be spillage of keytones into the urine (which disrupts pH levels in the blood) from lack of insulin. These keytones can contribute to ketoacidosis which can cause coma or even death.Excessive urination and thirst are also effects of lack of insulin secretion due to the raise of blood sugar.

* What is the mortality rate of diabetes insipidus?

Even if untreated, DI does not cause death or reduce life expectancy unless the patient gets into a situation in which he or she cannot get an adequate supply of drinkable water. This can happen, for example, if the patient loses consciousness, is unable to talk or move about, or is stranded in the desert or ocean (sea water is undrinkable). Therefore, it is a good idea always to carry a medical alert bracelet or card and to take extra precautions to carry extra water as well as medication when traveling in areas in which either may be difficult to obtain.

where as diabetes mellitus can kill you fairly quickly with the damage it does untreated....

diabetes mellitus can cause the following untreated.... (listed the 2 most deadly)Diabetic ketoacidosis

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute and dangerous complication that is always a medical emergency. Lack of insulin causes the liver to turn fat into ketone bodies, a fuel mainly used by the brain. Elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood decrease the blood's pH, leading to most of the symptoms of DKA. On presentation at hospital, the patient in DKA is typically dehydrated and is breathing rapidly and deeply. Abdominal pain is common and may be severe. The level of consciousness is typically normal until late in the process, when lethargy may progress to coma. Ketoacidosis can become severe enough to cause hypotension, shock, and death. Prompt proper treatment usually results in full recovery, though death can result from inadequate or delayed treatment, or from complications. Ketoacidosis is much more common in type 1 diabetes than type 2.Nonketotic hyperosmolar coma

The hyperosmolar nonketotic state (HNS) is an acute complication with many symptoms in common with DKA, but an entirely different cause and different treatment. In a person with very high blood glucose levels (usually considered to be above 300 mg/dl (16 mmol/l)), water is drawn out of cells into the blood by osmosis and the kidneys dump glucose into the urine. This results in loss of water and an increase in blood osmolality. If fluid is not replaced (by mouth or intravenously), the osmotic effect of high glucose levels combined with the loss of water will eventually lead to dehydration. The body's cells become progressively dehydrated as water is taken from them and excreted. Electrolyte imbalances are also common and dangerous. As with DKA, urgent medical treatment is necessary, especially volume replacement. Lethargy may ultimately progress to a coma, which is more common in type 2 diabetes than type 1.

Hi, I have one PDF e-book with recipes of healthy desserts. I used to cook from this book and even for me, as a boy, it is easy to cook. I used to be obese, but now I'm more or less in normal shape. It is sugar-free and low calorie, it will suits you, I think, since it is also suitable for diabetics.

It is 100% free, you don't lose anything, you can check it. Check it in my bio!

Very, very small. If I remember corrcetly from my reading material after I was diagnosed, you only have a 3-6% chance of getting it if your biological father has it and 2-4% chance of your biological mother has it. Type 1 diabetes has definitely been determined as being a hereditary disease, however it only develops after other certain environmental factors are introduced (of which the specific causes or factors are still unknown). Of the entire adult population in America, about 10% are diabetics [type 1 or type 2] (population of U.S. is approx 310 million). Of those diabetics, less than 10% are Type 1 (approx. 3 million).

"Yes, there are medical ID bracelets for diabetics. It is possible to purchase a generic bracelet for diabetics, or to have one custom made with the individual's name, condition, and special requests such as to call a particular physician engraved on the bracelet."

A person who has diabetes can eat the jackfruit. The portion size should be limited due to the high natural sugar content that is found in most fruits.

is it ok for people with type 2 diabetes to eat dried fruit

Experts agree that a normal A1c for someone without diabetes is between 4%-6%; anything above that should be considered a sign of diabetes. But exactly where you should be on that scale is debated and the recommendations for target A1c levels vary. For instance, the American Diabetes Association recently changed its recommended A1c from under 8% to 7% or below. Meanwhile, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) recommends an even lower number of less than 6.5%.

You would be unable to metabolize sugars and either die of starvation or cellular damage.

50u

Um yeah actually if you're 60 you're probably in diabetic shock right now..........

under 100

No, Lantus clearly states on the vial and on the box, "Do not mix with other insulins."

I am a type 2 diabetic and when I take any of the cillin family of drugs, my blood glucose will rise 80-100 points. I normally run 110-120 in the mornings before breakfast. On Pen-VK, 800,000 units, it will be near 200-220. I take insulin 4 times daily. 20u,20u,25u and 35u long lasting (24hr type at 9pm each day). Even taking my insulin dosages as requiered, my glucose is still high. But 8-10 hrs after I quit the pen-vk it goes back to MY NORMAL. Allways check with your doctor before taking any meds. This is more so if you are a diabetic! Even though I can get meds in Mexico, I live close, I never take them without my Doctor knowing. If he says don't, then I don't. Hope this helps.

low blood sugar level, below 70 mg/dL, which can usually be treated by eating or drinking something glucose rich.

someone with hypoglycemia should try to eat low glycemic index foods to maintain energy and glucose levels at optimum as long as possible.

Diabetes classes as a condition because it is not contagious like diseases

Subluxation could be the cause. It is very important that you visit a Chiropractor to assess the problem. You can get x-rays and a detailed physical of your nervous system, spine, and overall health. A subluxation is when your spine is misaligned which causes either pinched nerves, damaged nerves, damaged discs, etc. Your nerves are like the life line to your organs. If it is pinched or not allowed to function 100%, then it is like pinching a water hose. You can have pain just about anywhere from a pinched nerve. Everyone can benefit from Chiropractic, especially you at this time.

1. they look cripled
2. they look sad
3. They look just like everyone else. You cant tell by looking at someone that they have type 2 diabetis. Your run into people all the time with type 2 and you would never know it.

The glucose tolerance test (GTT) measures the amount of blood sugar levels after the administration of glucose.

You get diabetes.

Answer-

Some common symptoms of diabetes are excessive urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, extreme hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, feeling of nausea and more.

Having a health issue often opens up a new world of discovery of foods, not a punishment. For diabetics, the closer a food stays to its origin, and stays recognizable, is healthiest: for instance, raw or steamed vegetables and fruits, skinless poultry, avoidance of processed or fried foods, sweets, sodas. Steamed shrimp, fresh blueberries, carbonated seltzer water,a fresh salad with interesting toppings makes for a great meal. Portion sizes are crucial, too.

[Because it gets in your system faster than having to take a pill and wait for the pill to dissolve.]

Although this is probably also true, I think the main reason is that insulin is a protein molecule, which mean if you took it in pill-form your digestive system would break it down before it had a chance to be absorbed and get to work.

in a way, yes, because if a teenager has type 1 diabetes, their blood sugars are much harder to control. this is because of the hormones being produced in their bodies. however, their target ranges are just about the same, in between 4 and 8 mmol/l. Adults aim to be between 4 and 7 mmol/l.
