When you have diabetes, you can have anything really just as long asyou monitor your blood glucose levels. If you have Type 1 Diabetes and you are on an insulin pump , then all you have to do is bolus for what you have eaten . If you have Type 2 Diabetes, then you have to monitor your diet and excercise.

The hemoglucotest is a strip used to test the blood sugar levels of the body. This is at least a daily occurrence for most diabetics, some must test more frequently.

Genes determine whether you would inherit diabetes or not. Diabetes is dependent on the immune system. The immune system is in turn dependent on genes. If there is any imbalance in the immune system, it triggers an autoimmune reaction. Other factors like gender, diet and body reaction also play a role in determining if you would inherit diabetes or not.

It depend on your height, not your weight. People who are tall should weigh more. For example, a girl/woman who is 5'2" should weigh 120. For every inch taller you add 10 pounds to get the average weight for your height.

One way to avoid eye problems is to not eat food or drink with the poison known as aspartame in them.

One of the ways Diabetic Retinopathy can be treated is with laser. This can sometimes be successful. However, it is just as important to have regular eye checks to ensure that vision is constant.

MRSA affects diabetes by making it extremely difficult for the blood sugar to be regulated. It also complicates the healing process of wounds in a diabetic.

Digestive system. Specificaly the small intestine.

Lettuce is a good part of any diet, but it doesn't have any "special" effects directly associated with diabetes.

It's good for anyone, irrelevant if they have diabetes or not.

(Let me know if that makes sense, I'd be happy to further explain :) )

it all depends what kind you have type one type two ext.. but what happened to me was that i started getting alot of headaches and always being thirsty and having to go to the bathroom alot and having really bad attitudes ---- Classic symptoms of diabetes include polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria. In English, this means excessive thirst, excessive hunger, and frequent or excessive urination.

In type 1 diabetes, this is often in the setting of significant weight loss due to the essential starvation of the body in the face of too much unusable glucose.

You are less likely to have an allergic reaction.

It can be made in large quantities.

Strict vegetarians can use it because no animals are involved.

Ans: "Unexplained" eg. not from exercise, big dinner, etc My understanding is that in the beginning when the body looses regulation of glucose(blood sugar) via insulin(amt or quality) there will be a noticeable increase in wanting liquid to flush the problem away....we are talking a couple of gallons a day....which after ~3wks tapers off to the high end of normal....and then varies on how much carbs are excess....Drug stores have glucose test kits. Above 126mg/dL is a problem.

A person with type 1 diabetes will develop a condition known as Hyperglycemia if they go too long without taking insulin. Hyperglycemia is a buildup of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. This occurs due to the fact that there is no insulin available to help the absorption of glucose into the cells to be turned into glycogen.

When alcohol is consumed without any food to go along with it, the diabetic may experience low blood glucose.. It can be hard to recognise the symptoms when you are drunk, putting the person with diabetes in danger because if surrounded by other drunk people they may not recognise your hypo symptoms either.

There are several conditions that are complications of diabetes mellitus. The most common conditions include eye problems like glaucoma and cataracts, foot ulcers, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and neuropathy.

There are a variety of natural treatments, including herbal supplements and acupuncture. The best way to treat though is to find the root cause of it. As men hit thirty, their testosterone levels gradually decrease. For most men a herbal remedy that boosts testosterone proves highly effective. A great product you could try is called Herbal Ignite, it's been around for over a decade, and made in clean green New Zealand, so you can be assured of the quality and efficacy of its ingredients. You can get more info from their website, but basically as I understand it works by using the herb Tribulus Terrestris stimulating the body to produce more testosterone, like it did when you were in your twenties.

High blood sugar causes the lens of the eye to swell, which changes your ability to see. To correct this kind of blurred vision, you need to get your blood sugar back into the target range (80-140 mg/dL before meals, and 100-160 mg/dL before bedtime snack). It may take as long as three months after your blood sugar is well controlled for your vision to fully get back to normal. Blurred vision can also be a symptom of more serious eye problems. If your vision is blurred, contact your doctor.
