Diabetes

Lowers blood sugar

Coma and death.

No, people who have type 1 diabetes (like me myself) do not produce insulin. Yet their may still produce insulin but too little to be enough to not take it. As you get more experienced with diabetes your doctor may tell you that your body still produces insulin but not enough to take it alone with no help( this is the HONEYMOON Stage). You have to take it by syringe, shot, or by a pump. People who have type 2 diabetes, their pancreas still produce insulin but maybe their bodies do not absorb it too well.

Diabetics have to take care of their feet because it's easy to get feet ulcers and get an infection.

Diabetics are prone to poor circulation in the feet. If cuts or sores are not taken care of, they can become severe much more quickly. The body would normally circulate healing factors from the blood to those cuts or sores, but because of the poor circulation, the sores do not heal properly. In severe cases, surgery must be performed, and a diabetic can even lose their foot or leg because of this.

Also because of poor circulation and nerve damage, some diabetics cannot feel the pain of a cut or sore on the foot. This is why the feet need to be inspected daily to be sure that they are free of any cuts or sores.

Routine feet problems like athlete's foot and toenail fungus can lead to feet ulcers and infections in diabetics, so they must be treated promptly.

Not in Colorado, nor anywhere else. You have to be able to obtain a DOT medical card. That's federal law.

There are two hormones that control the supply of sugar from the blood to the muscles. They are insulin and glucagon.

A bottle of insulin contains 1000 U. 1000/60=16.7, so approx. 17 days.

An acceptable blood sugar range after eating for a diabetic person can be a little over 125 mg/dl. However, being diabetic is not healthy and one should strive to get their blood sugar range below 125 mg/dl.

It helps keep the blood sugar level from getting too high.

diabetes is of 2 types. Type1 diabetes is that is congenital and present with birth. these patients are unable to produce adequate amount of insulin due to destruction of insulin producing cells of pancrease. these patients have to depend on regular insulin intake. Type 2 diabetes occurs due to some predisposing factors such as obesity. Body tissue of these patients fail to respond to insulin adequatily present in there blood. Primary treatment of type 2 diabetes depends upon oral hypoglycemic drugs. in advanced cases there may be need of insulin.

It would depend on whether or not it is Type 1 Diabetes or Type 2.

In the first case, not enough insulin is being made by the pancreas. In the second case the insulin being made cannot be utilised by the body.

of course .......they have fat and lots of sweet sugar which can stick to your body and give you diabetes if you have a lot. It is not very hard to become diabetic .....a few lollies per day may lead to diabetes but it will happen gradually. By few i meant 10

Although it seems they are in fact hereditary, one can not pass cancer nor diabetes thru genetics.

Pre Diabetes is when you blood glucose levels are higher than normal but they aren't high enough to cause diabetes. You have to diet and exercise to fix your blood glucose levels.

diabetes type 2 is even worse than type one.

there are two types of 2 diabetes.

one kind of type 2 diabetes is the one where you tend to gain a lot of weight.

the other type 2 diabetes is when you lose a lot of weight, and the one where you lose weight is even more dangerous than the one where you gain it.

you risk yourself on becoming blind with type 2. also you can lose your voice, get an arm or leg amputated.

they both affect your liver and lungs. you can get infections, like urine infections.

A good type 2 diabetes diet plan can best be found by consulting a medical professional as they are most qualified to give you advice. The internet is not a bad idea, but some information online can be very misleading.

The glucometer will need to be calibrated with each box of reagent strips. Because each manufacturer does it differently, please refer to the owners manual for accurate instructions.

Eating a balanced diabetes meal plan can help to keep blood sugars within the desired range. Another important reason to stick to a diabetes menu is the need to keep weight in a healthy range. By maintaining a healthy weight, your body can regulate the blood glucose levels more efficiently. This can assist in keeping blood pressure at normal levels and regulating cholesterol levels.

Less or more sugar which will mess with the kidneys. This is why diabetics also have kidney problem, due to the balance of sugar

Type 1 diabetes requires insulin to be injected. Type 1 is also not from eating a lot of unhealthy foods. Type 1 is a genetic disorder. Anyone can have it if it's in their genes or their relatives genes. Not every one who has relatives that have it get it, too. There is no cure for Type 1 at this point. The cure is expected to come in 5-20 years.

Type 2 diabetes does not require insulin shots. Type 2 diabetes is a result of eating unhealthy foods and CAN be reversed. There IS a cure/treatment. Type 2 diabetes is NOT incoded in your genes, it's just the effect of your actions.

NEITHER of these disorders are contagious.

Diabetes can exist without external physical indications. Usually, by the time they show up, damage has already been done to the body. If you believe you might have diabetes, you should see your physician for testing.

Physical characteristics that can lead to diabetes are:

* Abdominal obesity (excessive fat tissue in and around the abdomen) * High triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol

* Elevated blood pressure * Insulin resistance or glucose intolerance (the body can't properly use insulin or blood sugar) * Lack of exercise However, these are not necessarily present in all cases. My brother is 6'5", and has never weighed more than 180 lbs in his life. He is an insulin-dependent diabetic.
