Avatar n tn I can recommend the book Diabetes Solutions by Dr. Richard Bernstein. He has lots of great information that can be helpful to managing diabetes. Type1Grit also has heaps of great low carb recipes. Have you done basal-bolus testing to make sure your insulin doses are ideal? Best wishes. You can do this!
Avatar f tn I recently went out with a guy whos had T1 diabetes for 20 something years. I dont know much about diabetes but i been reading and asking him questions to learn more. My question is i spent one night at his house and in the morning when he woke up he was very very confused, i dont think he knew who i was, hes eyes were open but in his head he wasnt there, he was saying sentences that didnt make sence, was moving very slow.

Pumping INsulin by John Walsh & Ruth Roberts. I think it's in its 4th edition now and you should be able to find it for under $20 or at your local library. Pumping can be terrific because once we learn the processes, we have much more flexibility and control over insulin delivery.
Avatar n tn Funny, I posted a similar e-mail 2 weeks ago. But I have to say that insulin does cause the person to gain weight and age does not help either. I got that information from Kaiser Permanente's web health library. I began to gain weight when a was placed on 4 shots per day. In addition, I also have to take neurontin which also has weight gain as a contraindication. So, inform your self by researching the contraindications of insulin as well as checking on all your meds.
188761 tn?1584567620 Hi All, I would really appreciate if some one could take time to shred some light on the condition that my mother is going through. She has been lately diagonosed with diabetes and is on medication currently. She has been developing rash on her neck and face. Also, complaining about her eyes itching.
Avatar m tn would anybody else like this forum to host a categorized image library of MRI scans--various processes (T1, T2, PD, etc.) and axial and saggital views of both the brain and the spine? I don't even know if it's possible to do that here, but it would be interesting for my curiosity (and, OK, to satisfy propensity to try to self-diagnose while I'm in limbo).
Avatar n tn can exposer to asbestos cause health problems later in life such as diabetes? Is there a direct connection between asbestos exposure and other desieses?
Avatar n tn Despite advances, babies born to women with diabetes, especially women with poor diabetes control, are still at greater risk for birth defects. High blood glucose levels and ketones (substances that in large amounts are poisonous to the body) pass through the placenta to the baby. These increase the chance of birth defects." In response to the second question: Weight loss can be accomplished eating fewer calories and by exercising to help burn fat and calories and keep weight off.
Avatar f tn It was there a moment ago, but is gone now. Go to the lake county public library. They have an inter library loan system there. Here is a stab at the web site; not sure if it will be automatically deleted or what.... http://****.
Avatar n tn Many people with diabetes do not spill ketones if they are in good control. Perhaps you are seeking information on uncontrolled diabetics, for a controlled diabetic's urine composition should be normal.
Avatar n tn Go to your local library. Ask the person at the reference desk for help finding information about the eye or whatever else you are interested in. Librarians are always happy to help you find information and show you how to use the library. Also--even more important--ask them to help you find resources on how to do research. If you learn to use information resources (books, Internet, etc.), you will know where to find the kinds of information you need or want. Happy researching!

Avatar f tn i am 37 weeks pregnant. I have gestational diabetes. I do not take meds and insulin because my sugar has always been in control throughout whole pregnancy but since ive started my ninth month it has been getting veryy difficult to control. I eat very less avoiding potatoes rice and all high cArb food. I was wondering does eating less would affect my bAbys weight? Does anyone have gestational diabetes ? How do you control it without effecting bAbys weight? My baby weighs 2.7 kilograms.

7058746 tn?1393435420 I'm in the same situation, I found out last week and don't meet the diabetes educator until Wednesday. Its all about the sugar and carbs and counting them. Carbs turn into sugar so you have to make sure your not eating too many. I've found some great recipes on the diabetes association website. The internet can be scary to read but also you can find some very helpful information, there are so many recipes to choose from. Hope that helps and good luck!
Avatar n tn I know this sounds strange but where do you begin. I was diagnosis with type II diabetes fall of 2007 after I was admitted in the hopsital for chest pain. I was also put on lopresser 25mg PO BID and norvasc 5mg PO QID. The hospital didn't realize my sugar was up in the hopsital but my family doctor seen my lab results from when I was in the hospital. She started me on metformin 500mg PO BID due to my A1C being 7. I didn't like how it made me feel but continued to take it.
Avatar f tn I went to the library and looked it up and read all about it. If you have some questions I can answer it.
