Because Insulin burns your arteries, so the more imbalance in your blood-sugar, the more damage you get to your Cardiovascular system.

And the Blindness is caused by the vessels in your eye, getting damaged.

MS is a disorder of the nervous system and causes involuntary movement and a number of other related problems.

Diabetes can cause peripheral vascular disease which is basically decreased blood flow to the extremites eg limbs. Tissues in this area begin to die. Out of these two conditions it would be diabetes that cause the lady to lose her limb.

Definitely diabetes

There are sooooo many other things that those symtoms could be a part of
diabetes runs in my family, so i hav to watch out for it too
one of the biggest symptoms if your hands get cold when your hungry and change colors a little, or if you experience sudden weight loss or gain. If you don’t have these, then you probably don’t have it, but it is really easy to test for it at a doctors office
it takes like 15 minutes

I can give you a personal example of a very high protien (Adkins) diet where I actually had to stop taking my insulin because I was not eating enough carbs. I thought to myself that this is very odd, because I am a T1 and I have to take insulin to carry fuel to my cells for processing.

I would suggest a low carb (and right carb) diet. Do not follow Adkins, but something like South Beach where it teaches you the correct carbs for your body.

Good luck.

Restate the question. The long term summary of diabetes control is vital to maintaining good health.

Most layout web sites don’t specify with causes. The usual ones are for cancer. Diabetes shouldn’t be ignored but then again, not many people are educated about it. I make layouts, backgrounds, wallpapers, and stuff like that. If you’d like, I could make you one. Just specify what it is you want on there.

Don’t be surprised if this question gets deleted…it is against coimmunity guidelines to ask for this sort of information…
PS I will NOT be reporting it!!!

It really shouldn’t impact your lifestyle much as a friend or care giver. Type II is managed by diet, medication and exercise. Some do not follow all three, while others do. A diabetic diet is no more complicated than someone trying to watch their weight, cholesterol, or simply trying to just eat healthier. Medication is taken orally as little as once daily and some Type II diabetics don’t really even need medication at all. Exercise is helpful and can be a trip to the gym or simply walks in the neighborhood. All in all, it just promotes a more health conscious lifestyle. Once you are aware of what Type II diabetes is and how to manage it, the lifestyle is quite simple and doesn’t really affect those around. There will be times where a diabetic becomes Hypo, in which case the blood sugar is low, and needs a snack like some juice, granola bar, or candy to bring it up just a bit.

Don’t have anything to eat after 12AM/midnight…

You will drink the drink and usually an hour later they’ll check your sugar.

The drink can be flavors, orange, lemon-lime, cola…whatever your dr has… It just tastes like a very sugary soda.

Oh and be ready to have something to eat shortly after, you might feel jittery …maybe bring a peanut butter sandwich, or a yogurt, etc. Just in case…

Good Luck!

GDM is usually asymptomatic but has serious consequences that can be reduced by treatment9, making it a candidate for screening. Contenders for screening tests are glucose challenge (mini-GTT) and fasting glucose test (venous or capillary10 blood specimens). However, currently in the UK, NICE does not recommend routine antenatal screening due to lack of evidence but do maintain that healthcare providers “remain alert to signs or symptoms of conditions which affect the health of the mother and fetus, such as.. Diabetes”. 11 Thus clinicians must decide on whom they should focus their efforts and usually a risk factor based scheme is used to determine pregnancies that should receive further testing for GDM. This method will only detect about 50% of women with gestational diabetes.12

Urinalysis
Urine should be checked for glucose at every antenatal visit. Renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) rise in pregnancy with the result that the renal threshold for glycosuria is reduced. Some feel that the practice of waiting for repeatedly positive urine tests for glucose prior to obtaining a blood sample delays diagnosis and may adversely affect outcome.

There are clearly some women whose glucose levels rise sufficiently in pregnancy to cause harm to their babies. However, there are also many women with lower levels of glucose intolerance whose babies are not at risk, but who may suffer anxiety and inconvenience as a result of being classed as abnormal. On balance, the present evidence suggests that we should not have universal screening, but a highly selective policy, based on age and overweight.

The best test at present, for those deemed to need testing, is probably the GCT, preferably combined with an FPG. The benefits of a follow-up OGTT are doubtful.

Glucose tolerance tests
A 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) should be conducted if the blood glucose exceeds 5.5 mmol/l at 2 hours or more after food, or exceeds 7 mmol/l within 2 hours of food. Glucose tolerance tests may be unreliable especially as gastric emptying is delayed in pregnancy. If the OGTT is performed at or before 16 weeks gestation, a negative result does not necessarily exclude future problems and if the results are borderline the test should be repeated between 32 and 34 weeks.13

Early diagnosis of GDM is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcome.14 Rather than suggesting that management is counterproductive, this probably means that the more severe cases present earlier

No!!

Your sugars can elevate quickly in pregnancy and the A1C test measures the last 120 days!!!!

The A1C is a clever test.

It measures the percentage of the red blood cell coating which is covered by sugar.

Normally, this is less than 6%.

However, if your sugar rises – it only elevates the A1C by 1/120 each day (hope that makes sense?)

So you could move into diabetes long before the A1C moved into the diabetic range.

(But a nice, low A1C is reassuring and means your sugars have been fine overall for the last 4 months).

U drink this very sugary liquid stuff as within 10 mins. Then wait a hr and they check ur urine and blood to see how ur body deals with that much sugar. If u fail the one hr test u have to do it again and do a 3 hr test.

admin answers:

Nope. They wont check your weight, you wont have to pee in a cup… No blood pressure check… Nothing like that.

You will just go into the lab, they’ll make you wait. They will call you in. Then you get 5 minutes to drink this small bottle full of that drink (its not as bad as ppl say it is)… It just tastes like flat sprite, really. And then they make you wait in the waiting room for an hour. Then they call you back in and take some blood. I think like 3 tubes (not sure, i didnt watch LOL)… Then you leave.

When you’re waiting, you’re only allowed to drink water and pee. Nothing else. Lol. No soda, no leaving, no food. But they told me some water was fine, even though i didnt drink any.

The test made me have really green diahrea later on in the day and really bad gas (that made me have to go poo ) which is the sucky part of it all. It was like the color of a crayon. Blah.

But they should check up on you like 30-40 minutes into the waiting process and see how you’re doing. And if you puke it up, you HAVE to tell them. Bc then they need to stop the timer bc its messed up.

Good luck and congrats!

My grandmother was almost completely blind from glaucoma and macular degeneration before she passed away. We tried to get her things to help her cope. We found this phone one time that had these HUGE numbers. Literally they were like 2 inches each. She could call all of us then. She was tickled with it. I also found a link that gives you different ideas for different people.

Sweetheart please trust your doctor. If you have alot of pressure (and pressure is the only way I knew I was in labor since I can not feel contractions) I suggest you stay OFF your feet. Lay down as much as possible. If your baby comes at 36 weeks it will be just fine. My son was born 5 weeks premature and came home with me. They did keep him for 24hrs in the nursery to watch his breathing, make sure he kept his temp up and we spent 24 hrs together then went home. At 35 weeks even if you delieved now odds are very strong your baby would be just fine, might need some oxygen but it would be fine.
