Diabetes

Hypoglycemia is the name of the emergency caused by low blood sugar. It can result in confusion, unconsciousness, and when severe, seizures and brain damage. Treatment is giving glucose, typically in an IV, if unconscious. If the patient is still awake and is found to have low blood sugar, giving them something sugary to drink, such as juice, can help prevent them from losing consciousness.

To maintain blood sugar at healthy levels

I am an apple lover but when I eat them at night my blood sugar is high in the morning. I recently picked up some ginger snaps and added a few to my nightly snack. My sugar dropped down from 6.9 and 7 to between 5.7 and 5.9. Not yet ready to put my results in the journal of medicine but it sure makes me happy.

occurs more frequently in populations descended from Northern European countries (Finland, Scotland, Scandinavia) than in those from Southern European countries, the Middle East, or Asia

Killer whale meat, the tail is the most nutritious. Another food for this is anything without sugar in it. Good luck.

Sugar free snacks are some of the best options for a diabetic who needs something to snack on now and then. Fruits contain natural sugar, which is a healthy alternative, and taste great too. That's a solid starting point. Yogurt is also highly recommended.

It may seem that consumption of fruits raises the blood sugar since fruits are sweet, but the truth is that fresh fruits are not enough to spike ones sugar levels to dangerous position.

Friends have developed diabetes

from cortisone shots in the spine.

Mostly, think white flour... bread, donuts, pasta, white rice, and other products made from white flour. People always reply "Soda, candy" but it's the white flour carbs. You need a balanced number of carbs, proteins, fats, and watchful over sugar. But white flour products convert to blood sugar (glucose) so that is most important.

No,I don't think it's safe!

You can have whatever you want, but remember that what you choose to put in your mouth will affect your health. Wether you're diabetic or not, try to make better food choices.... FYI, the mayo won't kill you

There are many popular diets for diabetics. Some that are nutritionally sound include the American Diabetes Association Diet, The Zone Diet, SugarBusters Diet, and the Insulin Resistance diet.

American diabetes diagnoses have skyrocketed in recent years. Millions of citizens are now afflicted with Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes. Avoiding this type, which is not genetic, is as simple as eating right and maintaining a proper weight. Avoid meals and snacks that are high in refined sugar. Read labels in the grocery store, especially when buying frozen meals, which are often preserved and sweetened with a variety of sugars. A moderate amount of these foods will not generally produce long-term negative effects, but because Americans live on foods full of refined sugar and fat, diabetes is on the rise.

Monitoring blood glucose Administering antidiabetics/insulin Full body assessment, special attention made to circulatory and skin Prevention of ulcer formation Monitoring VS Monitoring for hyper/hypoglycemia Offering snacks at bedtime if permitted.

Some people do have to watch their sugar consumption very closely, but even they can eat some watermelon, as long as it isn't too much. Watermelon, sweet though it is, does not present the same kind of risk as eating a candy bar, a chocolate cake, etc.

Alcoholism and diabetes are connected in a number of ways. There is no question that drinking will complicate a number of the conditions that go along with diabetes, such as high triglycerides. It can also exaggerate the effects of diabetes by interfering with the way the liver produces enzymes. Finally, the presence of alcohol prevents the body from absorbing vital nutrients, including many vitamins.

Alcohol also affects the pancreas, and is a leading cause of pancreatic cancer. Losing the function of your pancreas will kill you, even if the cancer doesn't.

We note that one of the categories you checked is pregnancy. Pregnancy often precipitates a diabetic condition that can be either temporary or otherwise. Drinking will not help. Combine that with the effect booze has on nutrition and the known relationship to birth defects and developmental problems, and it is clear that a woman should never drink while pregnant...not even a little.

If you believe alcohol is causing problems in your life, and you can't stop, consider calling AA or another 12-step group for help. Your local mental health association can direct you to other local resources. http://www.aa.org/

sometimes because onoin can reduce the risk of getting a heart attack,combat cancer,kilss bacteria and lowers the cholesterol of diabetics.It is not good sometimes because maybe the diabetic is allergic to onions or overall seasonings and that would give them a different change,also because in some cases onoins are not good for people who suffer from diabetes.

You can reduce your risk of developing diabetes by maintaining a normal weight and remaining active, and avoiding too many sweets.

There is no way to completely prevent diabetes, but a large number of cases of diabetes are caused by - or aggravated by - obesity.

Using the NHS Choices website will give you a lot of information on type 1 and 2 diabetes. It will also explain what the norm blood sugar levels are (as a health professional I can say that it id no lover than 4mmgh and no higher than 9mmgh) what hypo/hyperglycemia is and how sugar levels may be and the diagnosis procedures for suspected diabetics.

Diabetes runs in families, so if you have a family history you may get diabetes.

Obesity, lack of exercise can be a cause of Type2 Diabetes.

Alcoholism with recurrent pancreatitis can damage the pancreas to give rise to Diabetes and pancreatic insufficiency.

Yes, but you need to be careful if you are taking any medication. Many diabetes medications are either heat sensitive or can interfere with your body's cooling mechanisms.

Using a steam room, sauna or other heat bath can be beneficial for diabetes sufferers. The Japanese have studied the affects and found that using a gentle heat bath ended up reducing the weight and fasting glucose levels of the study group.
