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.
what sex education should i give to my 8 year old daughter ? how should i describe to her?
Hi,
to be diagnosed with diabetes so early in your pregnancy actually means that the diabetes was prexisting. Maybe it was just managed with diet and exercise before.
I was in the same situation with my first pregnancy. Diagnosed pretty much as soon as I know i was pregnant. I managed it with diet and exercise up until about 3 months after which I was on insulin.
For this new pregnancy (I am now 2 months), I started on insulin about 2 months before I got pregnant.
No, definitely not. However, that is a very unhealthy way to eat and if your sister continues eating like that in the long run she could become obese as well as have numerous health problems down the road, diabetes only being one possibility.
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.
Remember that exercise and weight loss (if necessary) are equally important to a good food regimen for controlling diabetes.
Hi all, as a professional donating time here, I educate many people on OCD. Education is the first and basic step to knowledge and that helps to make OCD less of a mysterious monster. (Now it can be a known monster, smile). With that in mind, here are a few beginning and super basic OCD articles that anyone can start with and learn about the disorder. There are several experts in the United States that I trust and recommend. First of all is Dr.
Thanks for the comment.If you were talking about Facts that presented under Fats section of that pdf, though it may seem disconnected from reality,it talks about a balanced diet control schedule to maintain good health.However individualized plan must be made with help of corresponding Dietician or Attending Physician which is mandatory.My intention was just to give an idea how to plan a controlled diet but not follow exactly that schedule.Facts are Facts!

Since you didn't provide us any information to work with, you can start by making lifestyle changes. Too many people rely solely on medication to make themselves normal when basic lifestyle changes are ignored. Medication alone will not do the work for you, they are there to 'help' you.

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.
It results from the fear based education out there. MOST people have very overinflated views about HIV based on that education. Add to that any guilt or regret one may have over certain encounters (ie infidelity), there's a perfect recipe for anxiety.
I can assure you that if you used a condom each time, and it didn't break, that you were 100% protected. HIV isn't easy to get. Even many moderate to higher risk exposures don't result in infection.
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.
