Diabetes

The principal two idiopathic forms of diabetes mellitus are known as types 1 and 2. The term "type�1 diabetes" has universally replaced several former terms, including childhood-onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and insulin-dependent diabetes. Likewise, the term "type�2 diabetes" has replaced several former terms, including adult-onset diabetes, obesity-related diabetes, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

Beyond these two types, there is no agreed-upon standard nomenclature. Various sources have defined "type 3 diabetes" as, among others, gestational diabetes, insulin-resistant type�1 diabetes (or "double diabetes"), type�2 diabetes which has progressed to require injected insulin, and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults.

There is also maturity onset diabetes of the young which is a group of several single gene (monogenic) disorders with strong family histories that present as type�2 diabetes before 30 years of age.

• Shakiness, anxiety, nervousness
• Palpitations, tachycardia
• Sweating, feeling of warmth (although sweat glands have muscarinic receptors, thus "adrenergic manifestations" is not entirely accurate)
• Pallor, coldness, clamminess
• Dilated pupils (mydriasis)
• Feeling of numbness "pins and needles" (paresthesia)

Hypoglycemia (or low blood sugar), results in the release of epinephrine and other counter-regulatory hormones to try to elevate the blood glucose. Epinephrine release makes you feel shaky, flushed, and sweaty. This is a normal response to low blood sugar and you should pay attention to this feeling and check your blood sugar and eat if your sugar is low.

3/day or 3xday
Three times daily is abbreviated TID or t.i.d.

'Diabetic food' may refer to the types of food that are beneficial or harmful for individuals with diabetes to consume. Beneficial foods include foods with low sodium and sugar, and minimal processing (such as, the processing that removes the whole grain from white bread), and harmful foods include the opposite. 'Diabetic food' may also refer to diets that are more likely to prevent or cause diabetes, with diets high in sugars, sodiums, and processed fats more likely to cause diabetes, and diets low in sugars, etc, more likely to prevent diabetes.

A scientist making an educated guess that diabetes is caused by genetic factors is stating a hypothesis. The scientist may then design an experiment to test this hypothesis.

Due to fluctuating levels of glucose, the blood vessels 'age' faster and the retina of the eye which has the blood vessels of the eye are affected so vision loss is a complication of diabetes mellitus.

diabetes is the leading cause of death in the world, causing more death than aids related sickness and cancer combined, if not taken care of it can lead to severe consequences such as amputations and blindness

it doesn't at all.

nothing has changed with the person.

only their diet has changed as they have to watch their sugar intake. but this shouldn't affect a relationship in any way.

A good diabetic meal plan can be found on the Dr. Atkins website. This is a low carbohydrate meal plan but it is the best plan in the world for diabetics to be on. This will work so fast that they need to contact their doctor, because they may have to lower their diabetic medicine.

The website www.diabeteswellbeing.com/atkins-diet-diabetes.html, can provide information on the atkins diet for people with diabetes. It gives detailed information about how the atkins diet works for people with diabetes.

Diabetes is not a communicable disease. You can't get it from someone else no matter what you do. Definitely not! My brother has diabetes and none of us have gotten it yet! No, I'm just kidding. Diabetes isn't a communicable disease. You can't "catch it" so to speak.

Type 1 diabetes

Your cells cannot use glucose without insulin, a hormone secreted from the beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin helps the cells take in glucose and convert it to energy. When the pancreas does not make enough insulin (type I diabetes) or the body is unable to use the insulin that is present (type II diabetes), the cells cannot use glucose, and they begin to starve. Excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream, setting the stage for diabetes.

Insulin affects several organs and tissues to promote glycogen storage and laying down of fat. Glucose, some amino-acids, and to a much lesser extent fat all promote insulin release. In the liver, insulin increases glucose transport into the liver from the blood, and the synthesis of glycogen. In muscle the effects are similar and in fact the amount of glucose taken up by muscle is a significant contributor to the total glucose disposal rate (GDR). In adipocytes, insulin promotes synthesis of fat.

Insulin is secreted by the pancreatic Islets (islets of Langerhans) in response to elevated sugar in the blood.

From your question I assume it is Fasting Plasma Glucose Test in mg/dl.

Normal Blood glucose level is 70 mg/dl to 99 mg/dl
Pre-diabetes Blood glucose level is 100 mg/dl to126 mg/dl

It means 116 mg/dl is pre-diabetes, that is you are not diagnosed as diabetes but you have more chances of getting diabetes.

So it is advisable to take every steps to avoid diabetes, particularly lifestyle changes is a most. Lifestyle changes by increasing physical activity, plan to reduce obesity or over weight, quit smoking and plan your food smartly.

There are different method to determine the normal level o glucose, for example Somogi-Nelson y Folin-wu, but to day, the normal level is considered to be 90mg/dl more or less 20mg/dl. That mean the normal sugar level es 70 - 110 mg/dl in a healthy person. Below 70mg/dl is considered hypoglycemia, and above 120mg/dl hyperglycemia. Blood sugar level of 130mg/dl was consider normal long time ago, but no any more. Today is consider a prediabetic condition.

No you don't have to smoke but you could if u want too

A list of food that diabetics should avoid eating can be found at Livestrong and include donuts, white bread, bagels, waffles, corn chips, pretzels, pizza, potatoes, and watermelon.

f you have already been diagnosed with diabetes, a blood sugar level of 111 is within normal range whether the reading was taken fasting or two hours after a meal. If you have not been previously diagnosed, two fasting blood sugar levels greater than 100 and less than 126 classify you as pre-diabetic.

1922 or 1952. In 1922, insulin was first discovered by Macleod. And it was not until 1955 that the primary structure of insulin was elucidated by Sanger and co-workers.
