If you have type 2 and your body does not use the insulin produced by your body correctly , there will be more glucose in your blood. Oral medications help to lower the glucose level and other meds help your body to use the insulin correctly. It can also help the pancreas (in type 20) squeeze out a little more insulin. If your pancreas is not producing insulin, you may have to take the injections.

Well to prevent gestational diabetes, don't get pregnant. To assist in prevention of type 2 would be to stay thin, get regular exercise and don't go over the age of 45. Well the last one may be tough to achieve. There is more of a genetic component to type 2 then type 1.
2 :
General rules: 1. Maintain your weight through a. Following a healthy diet b. Exercising regularly 2. Cut down on smoking and drinking 3. If you do not have a family history of diabetes, check your blood sugar once in 6 months - you already be diabetic or a border case, in both cases you can take remedial action to keep the situation in control 4. If you have a family history of diabetes, check your blood sugar as soon as possible. If you've already got it then follow the doctor's advice or else follow points 1 and 2.
3 :
to eat regulary. 5 times a day....
4 :
Diabetes Mellitus (juvenile diabetes/type 1 insulin dependent)... there is NO cure yet.... there is nothing YOU can do by yourself to prevent it.... there are medical breakthroughs and trials checking your DNA to see if you are predisposed to having the autoimmune disease. I know... I have had it for 12 years... got it when I was 16, no family history, healthy lifestyle.. all that jazz... it just happens. You can prevent Type II with diet and exercise

Hello Lee J, I am unaware of breathing difficulties directly related or caused by diabetes mellitus. This may be indicative of other/related issues. Obviously, please check with your Dr. You may also find some helpful information on my site. I am a diabetic for 46 years. http://www.your-healthy-diabetic-life.com/ Regards, Moshi460
2 :
It generally does not involve respiratory symptoms. More often extreme thirst and/or hunger. Weight loss. At some stages, nausea (if you go into acidosis) dizziness. Headaches.
3 :
no, diabetes does not have respiratory symptoms. if you have trouble breathing you need to see a doctor! look up the American Diabetes Association web site for symptoms of diabetes.
4 :
I was diagnosed as IDDM (insulin-dependent diabetic milletus) some 16 years ago. In that time, I have never had any complications whatsoever with breathing. You might want to consider seeing a physician about any respiratory problems. --------------------------------

Greek painting about Diabetes Mellitus

Greek painting about Diabetes Mellitus?
There's supposedly a greek painting (I'm not too sure who the artist is) maybe done sometime during the 1500's or 1600's that is of a skeleton that is on a bridge urinating into water. The painting is supposed to represent Diabetes Mellitus. The painting may or may not have the following words "diabetes mellitus, tissue in the body turn to urine". I think this painting may be in a museum in London. Could you find a link to that painting on the internet? Or post an image of the painting here? I've been trying to find this painting/image and haven't been able to, anything would help! The painting I"m looking for is not Death Urinating by Max Klinger. It's a good one, but it's not about diabetes (I don't think it is) Thanks!

With diabetes the cells are unable to burn enough glucose for energy (because glucose cannot get into the cells). The alternative to burning glucose for energy is to burn fatty acids for energy through beta oxidation. The 'excessive' beta oxidation of fatty acids leads to a buildup of acetyl CoA. Excess acetyl CoA is converted into ketones. Excessive levels of ketones causes 'keto acidosis'. Hope you find this helpful.

whats the difference between diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus

whats the difference between diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus?

Diabetes - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :

1 :
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder involving glucose and insulin production & utilization. It is what you think of when you hear "diabetes". Commonly called "sugar" diabetes. Diabetes insipidus is a disorder involving the production and concentration of urine. It is often confused with D. mellitus. Called "water" diabetes to distinguish it from D. mellitus.
2 :
Diabetes insulitus and diabetes mellitus are totally different. Diabetes mellitus is what people think of when they hear "diabetes"--it is also called sugar diabetes. It comes in two forms Type I and Type II. Diabetes insipidus (also called DI) is caused by the lack of the antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) or the kidney's inability to respond to this hormone.
3 :
Lipstick ! Diabetes is derived from the Greek verb diabainein, which means to stand with legs apart, as in urination. Diabetes mellitus means, literally, honey-sweet urine (back when doctors would sometimes actually taste people's urine to make a diagnosis). Diabetes insipidus means bland or insipid urine. Trying to explain what diabetes insipidus is can be challenging enough, without having it confused with "the other diabetes"-sugar diabetes (diabetes mellitus). Both share the word "diabetes" in the name, and both involve thirst and frequent urination, although in DI, urination is more frequent and in much greater volumes than the more common sugar diabetes, and the urine is subsequently extremely dilute and a very pale yellow color or almost clear. But beyond that, there's not much else in common. Some people with DI refer to their condition as either "central DI" or "nephrogenic DI" (depending on what's applicable), because it avoids the confusion caused when people not familiar with DI hear the word diabetes. To know much more about diabetes visit http://diabetes-abc.blogspot.com http://www.reddiabetes.com
4 :
one has sweet urine the other has a dilute urine.
5 :
One is not related to the other. It is neither type 1 or type 2. It deals almost strictly with the kidneys. The symptoms can be simalar, but with DI there can be fever, vomiting and diareaha. There are 3 types of DI just as in Diabetes mellitus. DI cause abnomally huge amounts of urination. It can cause bedwetting and dehydration. High blood sugar is not a part of DI. diabetesinsipidus. org

Diabetes can be controlled using food supplements containing Chromium. ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops(CTMD) is one such product which contains all the minerals required by the body. It can even cure Tuberculosis as you have mentioned. I am a naturopath by profession and have been prescribing this product for various diseases. I have had amazing results with my patients using CTMD.
3 :
with that many different problems going, don't worry too much about the higher glucose numbers. I do not like the blend insulins!! It is almost impossible to get any control going. I like the basal (24 hour) insulin and mealtime bolus (short acting) insulins along with very limited carb meal plan.
4 :
Is this a test question or an actual patient you're working with? The first step is to get them off that 70/30 stuff...it's worthless. Use a long acting insulin like Lantus once a day (might need to split the dosage into two per day), and a fast-acting insulin like Humalog or Novolog whenever significant carbs are eaten. Use a sliding insulin:carb ratio for that and experiment until you find the right ratios for different time blocks.
