Common Questions and Answers about Diabetes and zinc
diabetes
I have never known zinc to do anything like that. Zinc is a mineral that helps the skin and nerves get healthy. Check your diet - if you are eating too much sugar or carbs you might have frequent urination caused by hypoglycemia or pre-diabetes. Maybe you didn't pee often enough before and the zinc is healing your bladder... Are you drinking more water? You should in hot weather.
I am in need of some help, ABOUT 6 MOS ago I lost my taste and smell, and had a slight sensation in my left ear, I have been to the ear, nose and throat doctor and he put me on nose spray, needless to say I am now on my 4th bottle of nose spray(each one different) nothing has helped, now I am having a foul odor in my head, and it is driving me nuts!, My promary doc is setting up an MRI, what can be done to correct this??
Loss of smell sensation is usually caused by acute sinusitis, rhinitis etc.CNS causes are brain tumour,aneurysm,hormonal disturbances,diabetes,multiple sclerosis, zinc deficiency, malnutrition etc.Loss of taste sensation can be due to nasal infections,flu,common cold, dryness of mouth, medications like antithyroid medications,rifampicin,gingivitis,vitamin B12 or zinc deficiency. You should consult a primary care physician.
simple answer is yes. Long answer is you are more likely to get it with family history, so watch what you eat, exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle and you can delay or stop it from happening.
My sister in law works at NIH and is doing a very intense study on diabetes right now. There is something with zinc linked to it... I can't rember what she said though and there is a gene they found mutated in diabetics.
as I read about the study reported in the British Journal of Dermatology about using oral zinc for recalcitrant warts. but my doctor told me no that hes never heard of that and too much zinc is dangerous..the clinical trial they used up to 600mg of zinc a day..but Fourteen of the 23 zinc-treated patients had complete remission of their warts after one month of treatment. Complete clearance of warts was noted in 20 patients after two months...NO ONE in the Placebo group showed ANY improvements..
Hair loss due to alcohol consumption is mainly due to the fact that alcohol affects the levels of estrogen and zinc in the body, which subsequently affect hair growth.
Excessive drinking RAISES the level of estrogen, high levels of estrogen result in hair loss.
Excessive drinking REDUCES zinc levels in the body. Zinc is essential for healthy hair growth.
In addition, constant consumption of alcohol can also induce a lower level of vitamins B and C in your body.
I posted back in 2011 and just realized you had replied to me. I did have gastric bypass, and have shown these blisters to my doctor who did the surgery. he said he couldn't tell me what this was so I went to a dermatologist and they did biopsy and said it was from diabetes but I'm not a diabetic. I will have my doctor check to see if I have a zinc deficiency. thanks for the information.
Hi,
Firstly, a healthy (that is a normal ) urine is possible if there are no underlying structural abormalities and if there are no underlying systemic disease like hypertension and diabetes. Given that these were excluded, a balanced diet and daily intake of at least 8-10 glasses of water each day will ensure not just a healthy urine but also a healthy body.
s no wonder many lotions and creams that help to treat rashes and dry, itchy skin contain zinc. Zinc, because of its anti-inflammatory benefits, can prevent skin dryness and redness. Plus, it supports immune system–aiding enzymes that could help prevent conditions such as eczema that can cause dry skin,"again, adding this mineral would be helpful, in fact, I would suggest taking a good, high potency multi-mineral that has zinc it as they all work together.
Note that many zinc products also contain another metal called cadmium. This is because zinc and cadmium are chemically similar and often occur together in nature. Exposure to high levels of cadmium over a long time can lead to kidney failure. The concentration of cadmium in zinc-containing supplements can vary as much as 37-fold. Look for zinc-gluconate products. Zinc gluconate consistently contains the lowest cadmium levels.
Several factors have been proposed as possible causes such as emotional stress, psychological factors, habits, allergies, diabetes and hormonal disturbances. However, none of these factors have been conclusively linked to geographic tongue.
Vitamin B and Zinc deficiencies are often a cause, so, I would suggest taking a good, high potency "B" complex and also adding the mineral zinc to your diet.
I am Type 1 diabetic I am thirty years old, and I devoloped diabetes at nineteen and since then if I had a dime for everytime some moron told me , "Diabetes...you are too young for that. , "Diabetes? Only the elderly get that." , "If you are getting diabtes at your age you need to take better care of yourself,. "Honey it can'tbe diabetes, only old people get that.", 'You don't need to be taking insulin,you can't be diabetic..you are too young.
The first suggestion online is that if you are female and have been wearing an orange or red color of polish for prolonged periods, if you take the polish off you might find that your nails are stained. But with a user name that says "lad," it doesn't sound like you've been wearing nail polish.
The second possibility would be the finger having been hit and sustaining some damage that causes the nail to grow looking different.
I have thought all along that it could be hypothyroidism or menopause but my docotor said that was not it. This all started when my thyroid started acting up and when I started going through menopause which was a year ago. Do you have any solutions? Thanks for taking the time to respond.
