Hello Candikane, Your doctor's advice is surprising to me, also. I'm guessing that s/he is not a diabetes specialist and that's the type of physician who should be guiding your diabetes care. Specialists might be called endocrinologist or diabetologist. None of us here is a physician, but we're long-time diabetics or care-givers for diabetic children. You didn't mention if you've been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2, and the treatment options vary for these types.

you can try correcting the nutritional deficiencies and possible overdoses and alcoholism. Consult a neurologist for further work up and management. The recurrent swelling in the roof of mouth could be due to salivary retention, congenital and needs a dental evaluation at the earliest.

I also noted the JAMA reminder/caution that food does not cause Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This study and others looked at the impact of specific foods/timing of introduction in at-risk children. Please know that Type 2 is a completely different disease than Type 1. Type 1 is autoimmune, and researchers are striving to find out what triggers (or doesn't) trigger the disease. Type 2 has completely different origins.

type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and T2DM. T2DM is a common endocrine disorder that encompasses multifactorial mechanisms, and T1DM is an immunologically mediated disease. Many epidemiological studies have shown an association between T2DM and chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. The processes through which CHC is associated with T2DM seem to involve direct viral effects, insulin resistance, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and other immune-mediated mechanisms.

Hello, I am suffering from an unexplained xerostomia for more than two years now and it seems HCV might be one of the causes. My anti-HCV tests are negative so far however I heard that often HCv is detected only with PCR RNA tests. Anyone can comment on this? The other common causes for xerostomia are HIV and HTLV (tested already for both). Thanks.

? when I was 15 I had Rhumatic Fever, then at 16 I was told after a glucose tolerance test I was a diabetic, my mother was told from the dr who we couldn't understand, NO coke-a cola. At age 20 my kidney were have trouble, I got put on oral meds, no Blood glucose machines back then. I went on Insulin 4th baby, and then off, then back on for 2 yrs, I felt awful and went off.

since my mouth was checked for lesions and salivary problems by my regular dentist, a periodontist DMD, and the U of MD Oral Medicine Clinic and they all can find nothing. Meanwhile, i have tried every dry mouth product and am awakened from sleep often at least twice nightly by flakiness and discomfort in my mouth. Drinking water gives NO relief. Also my lips are constantly dry and lip products never seem to help more than a half hour.

I see you have the word 'diabetes' crossed. Diabetes is a Greek word meaning large amounts of urine. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus fall into this realm but both are separate mechanisms. This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.

Dietary folate or iron deficiencies, decreased salivary flow and high carbohydrate diet are also implicated. Continue your medications as prescribed. Taking lacto bacillus acidophilus may also help. Take care and do keep us posted.

The mechanism of the pathophysiological effects of hypertension lies at the cellular level in the blood vessel wall, which intimately involves the function and interaction of the endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. Both hypertension and diabetes mellitus alter endothelial cell structure and function.

But then around 16-17 or 2-3 yrs after diagnosis I could care less about who know and took it as kind of a unique quality if you want to say about me. I just control my diabetes and not my diabetes control me. That is just what she has to remember. She can live just like everyone else.

Once a person has one autoimmune condition, the chances of getting another (or more) are much greater... there's no guarantee what the additional condition(s) might be. There's a whole list of autoimmune conditions and we can get anyone of them. Autoimmunes also tend to run in families, but not every member of a family will get the same condition... for instance, I have Hashimoto's and Pernicious Anemia, my son has Type 1 Diabetes and my daughter has Lupus.
