Diabetes

There are many sites for persons wanting to follow a diabetic diet. It is most important that you find recipes through a reputable source. I would go to a reputable diabetes association website and use recipe links from those sites.

Yes, but it typically differs from the types of diabetes found in humans and other mammals. In people, diabetes is caused by low levels of insulin. In birds such as parakeets, it's caused by an overabundance of a chemical called glucagon. However, like humans, birds with diabetes must be treated with insulin injections. Because avian diabetes is usually the result of a separate infection, the bird can oftentimes overcome its diabetes over time, and no longer require insulin injections.

Spice cookies can be very good for a diabetic. The recipe includes one half cup whole wheat flower, one and a half cup all purpose flower, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground allspice, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, a stick of margarine butter, a half cup brown sugar, a half cup of a very ripe pureed banana and lastly 1 teaspoon of decorating sugar.

People who suffer from high blood pressure have to limit their sodium consumption, whereas diabetics have to limit their sugar consumption, which is an entirely different nutrient. Of course, a person could certainly have both diabetes and high blood pressure, in which case he or she would have multiple dietary restrictions, but diabetes in itself is not an impediment to consumption of sodium. So, salt your food if you wish, diabetics.

Yes - but only type 1 (childhood) which is virally caused resulting in autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet cells which secrete Insulin. Note that diabetes mellitis is a natural phenomenon brought earlier on in life through obesity and poor diet.

As there are two types of diabetes mellitus- Type I, the body's inability to produce insulin, & Type II, the body's resistance to insulin produced.

In the case of Type I, injectable insulin is the only known treatment.

For Type II, oral medications can be used on their own, in combination with other oral meds, or in combination with injectable insulin.

The safest and best way to prevent diabetes is to consult with your doctor. He may look into your family history to determine how likely you are to get the disease. He may also suggest a diet and exercise program.

The good thing about marijuana is that it is a mostly controllable high. You are still able to think clearly for the most part. But if you are going to smoke weed with diabetes, be smart about it. Have your supplies nearby or with you. Your mouth may get extra dry because of it, so have a bottle of water on hand.

Always be smart about weed if you are going to smoke it. It's not dangerous for the most part, but still always be careful with illegal substances. Especially if you have a disease that may alter your high or complicate the situation. So just be ready and have someone with you that can help if need be.

Vomiting alone will not raise blood sugar levels. Vomiting is, however, often a symptom of some sort of sickness. Most sicknesses will cause a rise in blood sugar levels as it runs its course (and sometimes before you notice you are actually sick).

While insulin can have side effects (particularly when more than prescribed is used), it does not cause blindness. Diabetes can cause retinal (eye) problems, though, which could be the reason some people believe insulin to cause eye problems.

Yes, it is. Hypertension is the hallmark risk factors for many diseases and conditions, including type 2 diabetes. Not only do they damage your heart vessels but they are two key components in metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms including obesity, a high fat diet, and lack of exercise. Having metabolic syndrome increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes

Yes, insulin needs to be kept in the refrigerator, but not frozen.

Liberty medical is a popular company. For uninsured or underinsured people, American Diabetes Wholesale offers tools for self-management of diabetes. AdvantageRX has a pharmaceutical license in all 50 states and is a mail order supply company offering 24 hour phone support and claims to have no forms.

There is .no food that can "reduce" anything associated with Diabetes. That's not how the disease works.

there are two types of diabetes, type one and two type one can typically affect anyone, from birth to about thirty/fourty. It occurs because the pancreas is attacked by the immune system (just the insulin making part) and the immune system kills those cells. Once dead, the cells can't produce any insulen (except in the honeymoon fase, ask your doctor about that). type two typically affects older people. this is when the pacreas produces less insulin, but this type can also be found in obese people, with unhealthy diets. It is also linked ginetically.

Insulin was discovered in Toronto, Canada in the summer of 1921. It was discovered by Frederick Grant Banting and Charles Best in a search for a cure for diabetes; insulin was discovered 4 months later. During the discovery phase, Dr. Banting and Charles Best worked alone to produce and test the drug on dogs. Dr. Bertram Collip and John J. R. MacLeod joined the team when insulin test worked and the purification stage started. Dr. Banting and John J. R. MacLeod were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923 for their work and discovery of insulin. On January 23, 1922, the first successful test on a human patient with diabetes occurred. Insulin was given to dangerously ill Leonard Thompson, and his condition improved dramatically in just a few hours. The groundwork for the discovery of insulin, had been done by several other scientists before Dr. Banting and his team actually discovered it. In 1889, two Europeans, Minkowski and von Mering, found that when the pancreas gland was removed from dogs, the dogs got all the symptoms of diabetic people and died soon after their pancreas had been removed. Minkowski and von Mering proposed that the pancreas was crucial for sugar metabolism. Later experimenters narrowed the search to the Islets of Langerhans (clusters of specialized cells within the pancreas). In 1910, Sharpey-Shafer suggested that a single chemical was missing from the pancreas in diabetic people. He proposed calling this chemical insulin, and later the Dr. Banting and his team took him up on the suggestion. The molecular structure of insulin was determined in 1995 by Frederick Sanger. Insulin was the first protein to be deciphered. Human insulin was also the first human protein to be made synthetically. In 1996 the FDA approved a human insulin called Humalog, Humalog was specially developed to be active very quickly after injection.

Liver produces sugar

Type I diabetes is an Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus i.e. very little or no insulin is produced by the pancreas.

Type II Diabetes is a non Insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus i.e. Pancreas does not make enough insulin or body does not use insulin correctly.

Numbing of the tip of the tongue is usually caused by a food allergy. Note what you are eating when it happens, and get a simple blood test for it. This will determine any food allergies that you may have acquired. and sometimes when i get ulcers i pinch them with my fingernails and make things worst and the tip of my tongue goes numb

A diabetic diet sheet can be found at your doctor's office. Also, a diet sheet can be found on many health websites. If you're diabetic it can be helpful to talk to a friend who also has diabetes.

One can buy a Diabetic test strip from Walmart, Amazon or a Pharmacy. A Diabetic test strip is used to measure the amount of sugar in the blood. The pack will contain the glucose test strips as well as the instructions. They work alongside the blood glucose monitor.
