My son is 18 months old, and I am concered that he may have diabetes. He does drink a lot of milk. As far as eating, sometimes he eats well and sometimes he does not. I did have diabetes while I was pregnant, but now I am okay.
Is that something that I should be concered about with him. Also, daddy likes to give him ice cream and I do not think it is a good thing, is that something that I should be concered about as well.
Part of the problems we are having in this country, I believe, stems from the formal education we have, or don't have. Basically the public education system we have has not changed over the last century, so what changes would you make if you could and if added cost is involved how would you pay for it.
Your first step should be to attend a diabetes education class -- a free one if your doctor can recommend. Gather some reading materials to learn what foods provide what level of carbs and refer to them often until you have developed a good system for yourself.

Was diagnosed 4 years ago w/diabetes type 2. Went to all the classes, was put on Metformin and a couple other meds. Taught to check my blood sugar a couple times a day. Knew I had to lose weight, change to a healthier diet, and get exercise. Was noncompliant with education/meds/blood sugar monitoring/weight loss/exercise/dietary recommendations. Now I have swollen feet and I feel terrible. My feet became very swollen for the first time yesterday.

There are several experts in the United States that I trust and recommend. First of all is Dr.

t have personal experience with this one, but I work in health care. Is there a diabetes education clinic or group in your area? They can be very helpful in helping you control your sugar levels. Some women can control it with food but not all. That all depends on your results. Your Dr will give you guidance as far as if you need insulin or another medication. But it will be alright, you have a diagnoses and this is something that is treatable. Take care.
Consider reading Blood Sugar 101 online or another basic diabetes book. Diabetes education classes are also good IF they give you up to date information which is not always the case. There are many websites and much information online written by people who are successfully managing their diabetes. Remaining consistently over 250 is very dangerous and can lead to complications.
Want some opinions on what would be best ! I speak English and Spanish and I want my daughter to know Spanish as well . What's best learning Spanish first or English first ? Personally, I was born in the U.S but my first language was Spanish and didn't learn English until I was 5 years old and to this day people say I have a small accent .
Opinions ladies !?
It sounds like it might be diabetes. I say you need to see a doctor asap. I mean it. Don't delay or go to emerg. Describe your symptoms and ask for a blood glucose level test. If you know someone who has diabetes ask to use their monitor to test your blood if you don't want to go to emerg. If your level is higher than 14 or in the 170 range depending on their settings go to the hospital. By the way I'm a nurse and studying in diabetes education so I encourage you to get checked asap.
My hospital set me up with a diabetic education class, and it helped tons.
Believe it or not, the way around being paranoid, to some extent is getting a proper education on diabetes. Was this gestational diabetes? Do you have any other medical conditions that might complicate a pregnancy? Is this type 2 diabetes? If so, get exercise, drink water and eat foods high in fiber and lower in carbohydrates.
When you say "you thought you were in control", were you monitoring your blood glucose levels and how often?
