Who says this? I would think hypOthyroidism would be more prevalent that hypERthyroidism. Hypo is underactive and hyper is overactive. Many people do have an underactive thyroid.

In diabetes mellitus is it true that the amount of epinephrine in the blood is too high

In diabetes mellitus is it true that the amount of epinephrine in the blood is too high?

Diabetes - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
No, it means your pancreas is tired or not working or your diet sucks- or all of the above. epinephrine puts stress on your system and can make your BS go up
2 :
No. If you are a diabetic, your insulin level is low (if you are type 1 or juvenile onset), or high (if you are type 2 or adult onset.) In both, the defect in insulin regulation leads to high blood glucose level. In people who are on treatment for diabetes (pills or insulin injections), can have "hypo's" where your blood glucose is abnormally low. This is often the result of the diabetic medication dose being too high, or you haven't eaten enough. When you have a low blood glucose, one of the mechanisms that your body uses to raise your blood glucose back to normal/acceptable level is to release a ubstance called glucagon from your pancreas. The other mechanism is for your adrenal to release epinephrine. Both witll bring the glucose level up. High circulating level of epinephrine can be due to a lot of things (exercise, stress, epinephrine-producing tumor, low glucose), but it doesn't cause diabetes, nor is it a consequence of diabetes.

all i know is that vasopressin is slow so that it can not suppress urine and chromium is also affected so the sugar is not stable

Can diabetes mellitus or hypertension cause of frequent urination

Can diabetes mellitus or hypertension cause of frequent urination?

Diabetes - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Yeah, but so can the chlamidia you caught from your sister
2 :
diabetes does, and it means your sugar levels are not under control.
3 :
Yes, extreme thirst or hunger and frequent urination are cardinal signs of diabetes. Hypertension, however, is called "the silent killer" for a reason. Most will never show any physical symptoms of high blood pressure. Some may get a mild headache. The only way to diagnose hypertension is to have your BP checked regularly.
4 :
yes diabetes will definitely cause you to pee more. Ask your doctor.
5 :
yes, yes it can. quite common actually.
6 :
yes I believe so it happens because your body is trying to lower glucose level in blood by passing it to urine and it uses water to solve the glucose resulting in frequent urination and dehydration drink plenty of water "Values above 200 mg/dl (10 mmol/l) are often accompanied by discomfort and frequent urination leading to dehydration." >>>> for diabetes mellitus "This diagnosis is confirmed by demonstrating increased urinary excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine and/or their metabolites" >>>> hypertension
7 :
yes they can both cause frequent urination, so can many minor illnesses like a cold.
8 :
Yes. Both conditions can cause frequent urination, but each following different pathways. For diabetes mellitus, the excessive sugar in the blood causes fluids in the surrounding tissues of the small blood vessels to influx into the blood stream causing increased blood volume. The increased volume is then sensed by the body's sensors, thereby making the kidneys work harder at disposing the excess fluid as urine. Hypertension may be due to increased plaque build up inside the wall of the arteries or it may be due to increased muscle tone of the arterial musculature causing them to constrict. These reasons leads to increased blood pressure or the term hypertension. The increased pressure is sensed by an area in the brain, which then signals several instructions to lower the blood pressure, and one of them is to encourage the kidneys to excrete more urine to decrease the pressure within the blood vessel walls.
9 :
Diabetes can be a cause of frequent urination, yes. you should check you blood sugar. It will probably be high.
10 :
yes if your blood sugar is high it will make you urinate more. it does me.
11 :
Yes, frequent urination is one of the signs of Diabetes.

Statistics for diabetes mellitus type 2 in childrens of arabian gulf countries

Finding a chart for NIDDM in children for that area is going to be next to impossible. Suffice to say, you might be able to derive some useful info from this study: http://darwin.nmsu.edu/~molbio/diabetes/disease.html Bear in mind that NIDDM is increasing in all countries and all age groups where the population is adopting the western style of living.... eating crappy prepared foods and sitting around watching TV. Also bear in mind that in civilizations that adhere to the old world way of life, natural foods and high physical activity levels, don't know what type two diabetes is. All one has to do is look at the diets and daily activity levels of the various populations around the globe. India, in particular is an interesting study. Read this: http://www.hindu.com/2004/04/18/stories/2004041803250500.htm It's the lousy food and lack of activity, folks.

What does Diabetes Mellitus do to your bowel movements

What does Diabetes Mellitus do to your bowel movements?

Diabetes - 6 Answers

1 :
Absolutely nothing. The food you eat has everything to do with your BMs.
2 :
Absolutely it can have a factor in your bowel movements! When you have high blood sugars your may notice softer stools or diahrea. Many people with diabetes are prone to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Foods can trigger constipation and diahrea. Not exactly sure why you are asking, what you might be experiencing. Hope this helps. I have had diabetes for 39 years.
3 :
www.theheartdiseases.com provides you the complete information of diabetes............Exercise is an important tool in managing your diabetes in order to live a longer, healthier life. 1. Exercise increase insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. The key problem of Type 2 diabetics is insulin insensitivity, or insulin resistance. By exercising you can improve how well your insulin works; this helps you to control your blood glucose level. 2. Exercise improves your cholesterol levels. Exercise helps by raising the good kind of cholesterol (HDL) and lowering the bad kind of cholesterol (LDL). Exercise can also lower triglyceride levels. This is good news for diabetics as diabetics are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. I myself have had cholesterol problems, but between proper diet and exercise and no drugs, I now have a much healthier cholesterol levels. www.theheartdiseases.com
4 :
i dont think it has any effects on your bowel movements
5 :
the word dibetes mellitus is the latin word for sweet blood so to answer your question now keeping in mind what the latin word is when you have to much sugar in you blood or if your body for one reason or another can use that sugar what you body the sugar then flows into your bowels and goes that way
6 :
The diabetes will not affect your bowel movements but the food you eat will affect both. If you eat carbohydrates, you will both raise your blood sugar and also increase risk of constipation. This is why a small number of diabetics report increased constipation.

I've often pondered this very dilemma myself. In the case of most patients, they often look at case studies as a nuisance. Others look at them as a means for pharmaceutical companies to get even richer. Personally, I think the answers lie somewhere between the two extremes.

Can you join the Peace Corps if you have Diabetes Mellitus(also know as type 1)

Can you join the Peace Corps if you have Diabetes Mellitus(also know as type 1)?
I would like to join the peace corps but i don't know if they allow diabetics? I have my diabetes under control, but i know i still can't serve in the armed forces. Anyone know the Peace Corps' stance? I have it under control, I was just wondering if it was an issue, and if Insulin would be available wherever I would go? I definitely don't want to be caught without access to my medicine in a new country.

I have done a lot of research in the Peace Corps, because I was considering volunteering with them. I never saw anything about medical issues being a deciding factor. I would say as long as it is under control it's probably not a factor. If it was still something you were struggling with, then it may have been an issue because you would have been a higher risk of needing treatment and the areas you would be working in probably don't have good hospitals.
