Diabetes

"Diabetes Medicine" is insulin. Your body produces insulin naturally so it is unlikely! The only thing likely to cause nerve damage is having very high blood sugars for sustained periods of time which can cause damage to blood vessels and nerves. However, assuming the condition is controlled well and levels remain between 3.5 and 8 it will take 40 years for these sorts of complications to occur if at all. The best indicator is an HbA1c test.

sure they can take &so many cancer patients r using this.

Classically type I, or childhood onset, diabetics require insulin and type II, or adult onset, diabetics can take pills. Sometimes type II diabetics require insulin as well.

To find a healthy diet for a diabetic my suggestion would be to get in touch with the American Diabetes Association. They would have all the answers for you.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine also has good information. See the Related Links.

Ibuprofen is not safe for anyone with kidney disease. People with diabetes are at risk for kidney disease and therefore should not take ibuprofen unless a provider advises it. Ibuprofen can cause acute renal failure in people with kidney problems.

Eating carbs increases your blood sugar level. When the body detects a rise in blood sugar level, the pancreas produces insulin, which is a hormone thaat converts sugar (glucose) into an insoluble, storage form (glygogen). Alternatively, the sugar is converted to, and stored as, fats. Glygogen and fats are then used to raise the blood sugar level at times when it falls below normal.

*the advantage is that it is the only viable source of clinical quantities of human insulin. Before it's FDA approval for Genetech patients would inject animal insulin purified from animal tissue. Disadvantages? From the frame of mind that is the ONLY source of externally provided human insulin it is hard to attribute disadvantages.

Yes, they will. They do contain sugars. From what my dietitian has said though, the sugars in fruits will reach their peak levels and fall much quicker than most other foods.

Type 2 diabetes is, in early stages, normally treated with diet, exercise, and oral medications that decrease blood sugar level.

However, the best treatment options and outcomes are still under study and so if it's your own body under threat, you'd be best off doing your own research. By the time all the results are in and confirmed, you may have permanent damage to your limbs, eyes, kidneys and heart from incorrect treatments.

i am hypoglycemic and i have been told because i don't eat much and my blood sugar is mostly always low that my kidneys and liver could fail and i could die but I'm not sure

For people without diabetes, the normal range for the hemoglobin A1c test is between 4% and 5.6%. Hemoglobin A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate increased risk of diabetes, and levels of 6.5% or higher indicate diabetes. Because studies have repeatedly shown that out-of-control diabetes results in complications from the disease, the goal for people with diabetes is a hemoglobin A1c less than 7%. The higher the hemoglobin A1c, the higher the risks of developing complications related to diabetes.

The first insulin injection was given to a 14 year old boy called Leonard Thompson on January 11th 1922 in Toronto General Hospital.

Most foods will raise your blood sugar. The question is to what degree. If you're a diabetic you should endeavour to maintain a level blood sugar and try to avoid spikes which can be hard on your system. The way you prepare your food also impacts on how your blood sugar behaves. Fried food is not the best choice for a diabetic.

Mechanism of fasting hyperglycemia:

Raised blood sugar post prandial, delayed increased production of insulin due to most probably defect/abnormality of B cell pancreas, in turn, endogenic glucose production (gluconeogenesis, glucogenolysis) freely caused raised in fasting blood sugar.

In recent years, studies have shown that triglycerides should not be overlooked. If left untreated, very high triglycerides can lead to future health problems. Talk to your doctor. Taking your medication(s) as directed by your doctor, along with eating a healthy diet and exercising daily, can help you lower very high triglycerides.

Insulin is produced in the pancreas, which is not a small organ. There are specific parts of the pancreas which produce insulin, which are called the Isles of Langerhans.

stop eating sugar, visit a doctor, you are close to dying, what are you doing online when you should be in the emergency room? Hurry, call 911, or drive asap to a hospital. (no kidding, I was once a phlebotomist, you need some serious help)

== == Absolutely! The "diabetic diet" is exactly what we should all be eating. It is all about choosing healthy foods and controlling portions. Yes, but only to a degree. Diabetics have to be so careful with sugar and so should the rest of us. The average person consumes over 15 lbs., of sugar per year and it keeps going up, thus, diabetes is soaring. My mother was a diabetic and so here is what can be done for you: 3 1/2 ounces of meat per meal lots of veggies (green in particular) Fruit (you can eat any type of fruit and are not restricted like a diabetic) Papayas are great for the digestion and Mango good for bowel movements If you are busy be sure you get some protein in you. Pack a peanut butter sandwich with you and if you like, you could put a little honey on it as well. You have protein and also the energy of the honey. Back right off of sweets, but treat yourself once or twice weekly (just a small piece of cake, pie, etc.) Most of us simply over indulge at the best of times. Watch your pasta and bread intake It amazes me that some people (especially women) don't realize that yeast is often the cause for bloating and weight gain. If you watch your intake of yeast (read your labels) you will drop weight much quicker than by practically starving yourself. If you should go on a no-yeast diet be sure you don't stay on it longer than 2 months and slowly introduce SOME yeast back into your system. Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water a day, but no more. Our bodies are made up of 98% water and like not watering a plant, if we don't drink water we don't flush out some vital organs and our skin dries up.

The person using prefilled syringes has to make sure that no component or material has any extractables or leachables.

You should first check your blood sugar, then give yourself the appropriate ammount of insulin to lower your blood sugar down into the normal range.

If your blood sugar just isn't going down then you should check for keytones. You can usually find the keytone strips at a pharmacy. If you do find out that you have some keytones then call your endocrinologist, and then just follow his/her instructions.

If your ever in doubt call your endocrinologist's office and they should answer any questions you may have.

low blood sugar is the most common form of diabetic reaction and the most likely blood sugar problem encountered on a dive or wilderness trip. A low blood sugar diabetic reaction is caused by increased exertion and use of glucose

high blood sugar is a rare problem in most people with diabetes and is unlikely to be encountered on a dive or wilderness trip. High blood sugar can be brought on by infections or other significant stresses that cause the body to decrease cell uptake of glucose

The normal blood glucose in humans is close to 5.5.mm, but this level can change throughout the day. Your glucose levels are usually lower in the morning, and rise after eating meals throughout the day. The normal blood glucose level for people that are not diabetic should be between 70mm to 100mm. People who are diabetic should be at 70mm to 130mm before meals, and less than 180mm after eating meals.

It is possible that it could be pregnancy symptom Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain.
