Avatar n tn I'm not part of a type-1 couple, but I'm the mother of a type-1 17-year-old girl (who already has names picked out for future children) and the wife of a man with a host of genetically-based health issues: type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a history of autoimmune diseases on his father's side, which is where my daughter seems to have inherited her diabetes. We knew NONE of that when we married and had kids.
Avatar n tn Hi Dalki, Yes, in time your doctor will likely know for sure which type of diabetes you have. In addition to Type 1 and Type 2, there seems to be a type 1.5 ... tho' there's some thought that 1.5s are just in the early stages of Type 1. We DMers (folks with diabetes mellitis) and our docs often call that a honeymoon phase. I hope you're feeling better now that your bloodsugar has begun to come down. Things may remain volatile for a while, so try to be patient with yourself.
307500 tn?1302116146 Says because I have Clusters of AutoImmune Diseases I most likly have type 1 diabetes. This week He has run lost of test, blood, and heart tests and blood flow. I have been put on every poral pill and it hasn't dropped my BS. MY lst A1C was 7.0, I have been on a very low carb diet for yrs, I think if I weren't my BS would be alot higher all the time. My ? is could I be type 1 because of all the Auto disease and the age of 16 diagnoses?
48668 tn?1201543083 Do you know what the relationship is of Krone disease to Type 1 diabetes? Is there a high correlation of the 2 diseases? Lately I have met several other families that the child has both diseases, is this somehting I should have my child checked for?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I recently was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, will I ever be able to eat whatever I want again? If so, how long do you think that will be, I miss my chocolate!!
Avatar f tn I have type 1 diabetes, and have had this challenging disease for 30 years. I am believing that I may be having the first signs of some nerve damage and am wondering what doctors/specialists I sure see. Right now I have a family practioner, and have had this same doctor for years....any suggestions on where to go next? I have excellent insurance (not always the case) and want to take care of this before the situation gets worse? Help.
Avatar n tn You may try low carb eating, which is very helpful for blood sugar management. Type 1 grit is a group with great support and information on low carb eating for diabetes management. Look also into Dr. Richard Bernstein's Diabetes SOlutions book and Diabetes University (Utube), which has great and useful series of lectures on managing blood sugars. A CGM (continuous glucose monitoring device) can also be very useful, though frequent finger prick testing is also ok.
Avatar n tn My godchild is Type 1 Diabetic she is 5 years old and she is on humalog and protafyn. Her sugar spikes a lot then it is high in the 20 reading and then she is low. What is the cause of the spiking. She does not take any sugar onl 1 canderel tablet.
Avatar f tn Hello im 13 years old and i have type one diabetes and normally if i want to do exercise to help regulate my blood sugar i go jogging or biking but just make sure you dont overdo it because it may result in low blood sugar.
Avatar n tn I have read studies that discuss the statistics, and it appears that if the mother is a type 1 diabetic, the odds are fairly normal that the children will be healthy (just slightly elevated chance for developing type 1 diabetes), but if the father is a type 1 diabetic, the odds for children being type 1 diabetics rises some. I thought this interesting and suggest that you and your husband do some reading about the genetics so you at least make some educated choices.
Avatar n tn Congratulations!!! I too am a type 1 diabetic and my son just turned 1 last month. I had a pretty healthy pregnancy but it was very hard work. As the person above told you call your doc immediately and ask for a Rx for prenatal vitamins. Also, one of the most important nutrients for your baby is folic acid or folate. This is especially important for diabetics!!! The best sources are spinach (I know yuck...
Avatar n tn Hello, I am 21yrs old and I am dating someone who is 22. We have Diabietes type 1 on both sides of our family tree. My Aunt and Uncle have it and His father has it. 1) My question to you is what is the risk of us getting married and passing Diabetes to our children. Could you explain how this works? 2)I know how the virus works but what about the added risk of having it on both sides? 3)Is it true that it Skips a Generation? 4)I have heard from the American Diabietes Asso.
Avatar f tn I have had type 1 for 11 yrs now and I am 22. I just found out I am pregnant.we didn't plan to get pregnant until October.( one year of my a1c being in range). But it was sooner then expected. My a1c was 8.6 last month,and lately I have been very congested and have had sinus problems so ive been sick,and my blood sugars have been up and down.ive been trying to cut sugars and eat healthy and.not eat out.any notes that I need to take on being pregnant for the first time with diabetes?
Avatar n tn I can't believe I've never used this resource before as I've had Type 1 since I was 11. I'm 33 now, and except for a rough first couple years, I've had great control. One thing that made things easier for me was that since grade school I've almost always been able to ride my bike to school and later to work. I've found that the routine physical activity seems to keep my metabolism grounded.
Avatar n tn It stated that a child born of a father with type 1 diabetes carries a risk of 1 in 20 (5%) of developing type 1 diabetes. is this correct? And if it is, is there any way of finding out whether the child is carrying the gene while still in the womb?
Avatar n tn My 20 year old son has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He had trouble controlling it for about 6 months-- up to 500, etc. He is extremely responsible and tests often and takes 4 insulin shots a day. Here is the question: He has had a spinal fusion due to very severe scoliosis. He is a chef on a cruise ship and stands for 12 hours at a time. About a month ago he started taking vicodin for back pain.
