The symptoms are quickly relieved once the diabetes is treated and under control.
In Type 2 diabetes the signs and symptoms may not be so obvious, as the condition develops slowly over a period of years and may only be picked up in a routine medical check up. Symptoms are quickly relieved once diabetes is treated and under control.
Some people are able to control Type 2 diabetes with losing and maintaining healthy weight, lowering carb intake and regular exercise. Some are not, and need medication. It is impossible to answer your question because every diabetic is different and it would depend on how high your numbers were to begin with and what you ate and did. Serious consequences (complications) from diabetes don't occur in 24 hours, they occur over time spent at high numbers.
My father in law has type 2 diabetes. He is concerned with the amount of drinking my son is doing. Can type 2 increase the risk for my son having type 1? Also can symtoms come and go? For example drink a ton one day, but not for a couple of days, then drink a lot again? For a first step should we check him with FIL meter or take him to the dr.? My father in law helped get my nephew diagnonsed (no blood relation to my son) so he knows signs and is concerned about them.
My father was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My uncle has type 2 diabetes as well. Recently I have just been looking into the common symptoms and have become rather concerned. I would like some clarity on whether these are actual symptoms of diabetes or not.
1. Most of the time during the days it seems like I'm always very hungry.
2. If I'm not weight lifting and eating A LOT of food I tend to lose weight.
3. Occasionally I feel very weak.
4.
My coworkers said I need to get him in because these could be signs of diabetes. My father, 5 uncles, 3 aunts, and 2 cousins have type 2, but I've only heard of 2 people in the family having type 1 - my great uncle and my father's cousin.
Should I be asking the doctor about diabetes, or is it pretty unlikely that he'd have it without the frequent thirst and urination? I don't want to inquire if my coworkers are way off base.
First of all Type 2 diabetes does run in the family. I had gestational diabetes in two of my pregnancies. Lately but not everysingle day however more often now I am continuously feeling nausiated, at times a headache or mild diziness with it. At times I go to the toilet feeling as if I am going to vomit (but I dont). I am absolutely not pregnant (I had a tubal ligation). there are times when I get shaky or irritable or feel a head rush without food. I am 5'4" inches tall.
m not a physician, but the symptoms you describe are classic symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. It is also not uncommon that hypoglycemia preceeds diabetes.
Please give a call to your physician right away. If you do have diabetes, you can avoid allowing things to get worse, and you can avoid a hospital stay if you act quickly now. Drink plenty of water to flush your system of ketones and do your best to avoid concentrated sweets (like you had to do for hypoglycemia).
I know I am insulin dependent because I cannot take my pump off except for the rare few minutes or so without my sugar sky rocketing. Now would u still call this Type 2 Diabetes or Type 1? Hearing the words Juvenile Diabetes associated with Type 1 throws me off obviously because I was not diagnosed as a juvenile. But also the words Insulin Dependent are associated with the Type 1. So I DO fit into that category.
Although there's no cure for type 2 diabetes, studies show it's possible for some people to reverse it. Through diet changes and weight loss, you may be able to reach and hold normal blood sugar levels without medication.
This doesn't mean you're completely cured. Type 2 diabetes is an ongoing disease.
I had type 2 diabetes before I got pregnant. I'm 8 weeks and I inject insulin twice a day. They said if I don't control my levels my baby will be too overweight . any suggestions besides eating right and exercising? Is anyone else experiencing this?
CLBear,
You might enjoy a diabetes discussion board that's got topics for Type 2s and Type 1s and for the stuff we share.
