Avatar f tn Instability in the diabetes can create a situation of behavior issues. Diabetes has a pretty high rate of depression in kids, 15 to 20% according to the Childhood Diabetes Association. https://www.childrensdiabetesfoundation.org/type-1-diabetes-and-mental-health/ Your child was diagnosed with a lifetime disorder and it's a lot to deal with. Anxiety is also high in these kids. A symptom of anxiety and depression can be anger, agitation, acting out.
Avatar m tn A lot of common chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are known to 'run in the family'. You should include a family health history tracker. There is a new website called ItRunsInMyFamily.com that has a really good family health history tool [http://www.secure.itrunsinmyfamily.com]. This would be a great addition to your list of disease trackers.
Avatar f tn This means that a positive result will correctly identify about 76 out of 100 women who have gestational diabetes (the other 24 would go un-identified and not realize they have gestational diabetes). The specificity of the test is 76%. This means that among 100 women without gestational diabetes, 76 will have a negative result (and 24 women who do not have gestational diabetes will have a positive result!

Avatar m tn There was just a report on the news last week that statins have been linked top type II diabetes. My wife is on 80mg of Simvastatin while I'm on 20mg. Coincidence or not, we both contracted type II in recent years. I believe that the benefits pf statins outweigh the risks and have altered my eating lifestyle so to nearly exclude carbohydrates. This has enabled me to continue statin regime while keeping my fasting blood glucose levels at acceptaptable unmedicated levels.
Avatar n tn Sorry to say but teaching a child that diabetes is a long term disease is a difficult task. A friend of mine has her son of 7 years old with diabetes on an insulin pump. It is a constant battle to keep him up to speed on every thing he has to do. But by the parent helping to monitor with the child helps to keep him from any false reports. i understand how difficult this must be to a child as many adults don't adjust well.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what the risks are of NOT having the test? Or has Anyone opted out of it and been ok, or had diabetes. I'm just really worried and don't want to put myself and my baby at risk but I have no choice in missing it.
Avatar f tn High blood sugar levels early in the pregnancy [before 13 weeks] can cause birth defects or other serious health issues to the baby. They also can increase the risks of miscarriage and diabetes related complications. You should speak with your health care provider on what you need to do to get your blood sugar levels down as close to normal levels as possible. You also can educate yourself on diabetes control and management by going here http://www.diabetes.
Avatar n tn I am not a physican, but the mom of a type 1 diabetic and the daughtert of a type 2. I have not heard of and corrilation of type 1 or 2 and asbestos. Asbestos usually effects the lungs and the pulmonary system not the pancreas. check out: http://Asbestos.Medical-Information.org SOrry II could not be of more help.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately some people do not get any symptoms at all that they may have diabetes or pre diabetes. Once the symptoms of extreme thirst, frequent urination, skin problems not healing properly, feeling nausea when hungry and itchy skin, constant fungal problems, would point to a diagnoses of diabetes. The doctor would either order a glucose test or a blood test to check HBA1C levels. The HBA1C blood test shows the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months.
Avatar f tn It could also put extra stress on the baby and he/she will be checked for diabetes when born.
Avatar n tn Sorry to bother you again, just a follow up questiong that has popped into my stressful brain. What type of risks is involved with the massage therapist inserting her finger into my anus? It was inserted just a little (what if it was inserted all the way?), i assume to stimulate the prostate (is this correct regarding stimulating the prostate???) when the other hand was used for the hand job.

Avatar f tn I am 57 year old female with strong family history of diabetes, heart attack, stroke and cancer. I am taking insulin 2 x daily and have recently have started have tingling/numbness sensations in my lower legs and feet and my arms. Could this is from the type 2 diabetes I have?
Avatar n tn On the emotional side, I think that Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are very similar. Both come along with complications or risks of them, and with psychological & emotional pressures, worries, feeling guilty, feeling angry, feeling despair. Folks with either type of diabetes can also enjoy all the good emotions: hope, contentment, happiness, love, compassion.
Avatar m tn He should talk to a doctor to find out if it's a sign of diabetes or not. I know the artificial sweetener in diet sodas has other issues of its own. It's plausible-sounding that it could be diabetes or maybe some kind of kidney issue.
Avatar f tn and i think majority of the long term risks also related to obesity since its one of the most common symptoms of classic pcos . i would like to write my insulin levels but i dont know them , since been few years when i had my diagnostic tests and i wasnt interested in the subject that much back than .but i will try to get my health records and see if i have it done , if not i will ask for the test .
Avatar f tn We have a seperate forum for Diabetes type 2 and Diabetes prevention. Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed, leading to high glucose levels in the blood and resulting in impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It's sometimes referred to as insulin dependent diabetes.
