Common Questions and Answers about Diabetes and the youth

diabetes

Avatar n tn I remember hearing that years ago. I have heard every single example of genetics with diabetes of both types from the skipped generation to "nobody in my family" to parents, to siblings, etc. I think genetics and diabetes is complex. I absolutely would not be confident that the children won't get diabetes. Type 2 diabetes which previously affected only middle aged people has become much more common in overweight youth.
Avatar n tn Get him a subscription to Diabetes Forecast -- I devoured it in my youth and learned so much. Tell him that before he knows it, diabetes will be totally normal to him and he should take pride in learning so much about how to take care of himself. He'll find that EVERYONE thinks the rumors they've heard are true and everyone has plenty of misinformation they're more than willing to spread.
Avatar m tn with pardner, just because a few students on one campus are idiots. I know at UT Austin the Liberal students would be horrified and would argue with his bigoted @$$ until they realized he was a put on, while the conservative students would simply whack him over the head with his clipboard. What's interesting is how nthe article is subtlely misleading from the first sentence, implying that offhand statements made after the petition was signed were actually part of what was signed.
Avatar n tn I'm wondering if anyone else out there is an adult with juvenile diabetes and has a hard time with keeping bs in good range despite multipule testing and control of food intake and good A1Cs?
Avatar f tn Losing weight and especially such a significant amount can reverse the negative health issues the obesity created. Weight loss has been shown to reverse heart disease and diabetes. Read this article: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/losing_weight/index.html. Even modest weight lost of 5% of your weight can significantly improve your health. We're cheering you on. MedHelp also has a weight loss and dieting group that is active. Here is the link: https://www.medhelp.
Avatar m tn Of course supplements should be used as a tools and not as a replacement for healthy diet and exercise. The harm in using supplements is seen on the liver and kidneys but thats about it and here again there are many things you do in one that are worse than taking supplements. Did you know that breathing is what causing the more oxidative stress?
Avatar m tn m exceptionally healthy, I exercise regularly both by running and anaerobic activities with and without free weights. I take great care of my diet and regularly meditate and do recreational outdoor activities such as archery and recreation swordsmanship. Throughout my youth I've read a decent amount of material on sex and sexual activity and have felt and proven myself more than competent in pleasing a woman ( at least orally.
20907989 tn?1619515060 The covid pandemic has also affected a good percentage of the mental health of our youth in many ways. In your opinion what are the major causes of depression in the youth during these covid stricken days?
Avatar m tn s, sometimes it was hard for these young people to relate to the 30 yr old, but when the older addict started talking about using in school and going to rehab as a teen all the patients started to pay attention, my story with drugs started with ritalin when i was 9, so i know there are so many young people out there who are going to have to deal with addiction, i also think about how many kids will try drugs for the first time today you can give them my name, i will look for that liturature now,
Avatar n tn My son had a VSD operation at age 3. It was not then that the aorto was slightly large, or oblongated. Recent visits to the cardiologists suggest it's still mildly dialated at 3.6cm. He's seen a geneticist for marfan, and he doesn't meet the criteria but is near the spectrum. He's 13 now. If his aorta was noted as being large during his operation, could the size of it now be because it's been large since birth?
Avatar m tn A concomitant distal predominantly sensory neuropathy may be present. Electrodiagnostic studies confirm the diagnosis.As the glucose levels increase the condition may aggravate.It is necessary that you keep your blood glucose levels maintained. Refer http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8987131 for details.
Avatar m tn Oh, and sometimes the left side of my head tingles and two of my toes on my left foot go numb. But they {dizziness, toe numbness, tingling head} can all happen at seperate times. I dont know if they have anything to do with eachother or not.
Avatar n tn Alcohol is also not recommended especially because you are underage and the American Diabetes Association only recommends two drink per day for an adult male and one for a female.
Avatar f tn Since then I have had Gall Bladder removal. and diagnosed with under active thyroid and type 2 diabetes. Bit scared of another op.
Avatar m tn Do men age 68 still become aroused? It isn't the age of the person. If you have a heart condition for example or diabetes it interferes. If both people are healthy & without mental hang-ups, there is no age consideration. Thank you for your post. Enjoy life.
13017155 tn?1429020488 Had your daughter met her at the youth group and the 18 year old was a regular member of the youth club, I would not be overly concerned, but would still impose sanctions (restrictions on telephone calls, where they met - definitely not outside the youth group meetings unless on outings with the youth group). It would be interesting to know how your daughter got on to go on an Instagram - is this a social network via the computer?
Avatar f tn I read a bunch on this subject, but haven't found anything that answered my direct question. Does having HAV as a youth affect pregnancy later in life or the child's immunity? I had the virus when I was 6 or 7, and am now 31..anyone know if there will be any issues for my child(ren)? Thank you!
Avatar f tn They told me about MODY diabetes. Mature Onset Diabetes of the Youth. Its rare and not very talked about. Its a genetic mutation and there are 9 different genes that can cause it, I think. Its highly hereditary. There is no family history of diabetes for us, which makes this even MORE rare. Testing for it is very expensive and so we won't be doing the testing. But everything still points to it. People can have the MODY gene and never be diagnosed with diabetes. I guess that is good.
Avatar f tn I think we can have small concussions during our youth and never know it. My kids are in sports and starting in middle school, they got baseline brain imaging at their school. Any head injury since then, they compare new imaging to the previous images. They also do it routinely ever Fall. To date, nothing has changed on my kids imaging and one in particular is in a contact sport and taken some falls and hits.
Avatar f tn I can feel the pain mostly on my left side from my lungs down through my back, these spasms(?) feel like my intestines are turning over inside me and the pain is horriffic. Can you give me any idea what may be causing my symptoms and do I need additional test or to see a gastric specialist? I am a 54 yo African American woman with Type II diabetes(2000), HBP,(2006) have had a hysterectomy(2004) and my gall bladder removed(1984).
Avatar m tn It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn At 47, I have had 4 CAT scans, 5 MRIs, and numerous X-Rays (the result of a rare migraine disease, and life as an athlete). What can I do to avoid radiation induced cancer later in life?
Avatar f tn Cuboid syndrome is treated by reducing (realigning) the subluxation of the calcaneo cuboid joint and stabilizing the reduction. Reduction of the subluxation can be accomplished by manipulating the joint. Manipulation is performed with the patient in a prone (face down) position. Best person is podiatric orthopedician.
Avatar m tn I would doubt sides like low anc, hgb, platelets and thyroid issues would be determined by age or physical conditioning. There are many people on the forum young and old who have experienced a lot of sides and who have experienced minimal sides. Trying to determine how you will respond to treatment based on how others do just doesn't really work. For some reason I thought you were already treating.
Avatar m tn Vitamin D levels diminish with age, increasing risk for colds and influenza To perform the analysis and gather data for this study, researchers compared the changes in the blood levels of vitamin D among three groups of healthy subjects: youth (aged 20 to 30), middle-aged (aged 31 to 59), and elderly (aged 60 to 86).
Avatar m tn Hoffman (1936-1989) was a political and social activist who co-founded the Youth International Party(YIP). The YIP or Yippies were a radical youth-oriented and countercultural revolutionary offshoot of the free speech and anti-war movements of the 1960s. I was a child of the sixties: 15 in 1960 and 25 in 1970. The YIP was founded on 31/12/’67 while I was teaching primary school on Baffin Island. Hoffman came into prominence in the 1960s while I was at university in the years 1963 to 1967.
