12890058 tn?1430949251 I call is birth preferences instead of a plan... I had a vaginal delivery without any medication. My "plan" was followed almost to a t. It was more for me and my husband than anyone else. I plan to keep it just about the same and use it again for my second baby. I pray to have as smooth of an experience this time around, but it def helped to have an idea of what I wanted and for it to be in writing for anyone else to see... Good luck and God bless!
1281603 tn?1283798699 I would like to add to that advice that diabetic complications are very real and to encourage everyone diagnosed with either form of diabetes or even pre-diabetes to take responsibility to monitor and control your blood sugars on a daily basis. We tend to trust doctors to keep us well and especially here in the U.S. we rely on medication for EVERYTHING. No doctor can follow us around 24/7 and make sure we eat right, exercise, maintain healthy weight and take the meds they actually prescribe.

Avatar m tn Read the post by Molly on the American Diabetes Association diabetes forum. http://community.diabetes.
Avatar n tn It is also a new practice (Joslin diabetes center - one of the world'sleading diabetes management and research centres) to start all persons with diabetes on insulin instead of oral meds. Glipizide is a drug that makes your pancreas put out more insulin so it can cause lows. It can also make your pancreas burn out faster. So do research this and consider stopping this drug (in coordination with your Dr.) Metformin does not have this effect. So you can ask your Dr.
Avatar m tn I have been to the doctors and had a urine sample taken they have ruled out a kidney or bladder infection. Would anyone have any ideas of whats going on.
Avatar n tn Diabetes is not fair. Lots of people who take good care of themselves get diabetes and lots of people who take lousy care of themselves don't. What matters, though, is what you do from now on which WILL have an impact on the progression of your disease. Yes, it is possible to maintain a healthy weight and still have relatively elevated glucose levels. I'm no scientist, but lots of things determine glucose levels, some of which we have control over, some of which we don't.
Avatar n tn When you learned you had diabetes, you and your health care team worked out a diabetes care plan. The plan aims to balance the foods you eat with your exercise and, possibly, diabetes pills or insulin. You can do two types of checks to help keep track of how your plan is working. These are blood glucose checks and urine ketone checks. Blood Glucose Monitoring Checks Blood glucose monitoring is the main tool you have to check your diabetes control.
Avatar f tn Instead of 3 big meals a day to switch it to 6 slightly smaller meals a day. It has a sample eating day with that for help in thinking about how to plan out your meals. There are certain kinds of healthy fats like avocado, nuts and seeds (and their derivatives) that are good to add in. There are probably more lean proteins to consider than the 3 you currently eat. Perhaps you can get more ideas of that. What are the three, by the way?
Avatar f tn Yeah I do think I might see a conselour, probably a good idea. I've wanted to get on the pump for so long now, but when I get my AIC checked every three months, if it's not below 9 the doctors don't let me change my plan. I have to stay on the same plan until I'm doing perfect enough for them to think I can handle the pump.
Avatar n tn Go to the nearest ER. The doctor should look at the wound, treat it, then run tests to check for parasites. He/she should also start your bf on antibiotics. As troy stated, this is a diabetic forum. I replied because years ago I got a parasite infection from a nick while in CR.
Avatar n tn Well, I had a similar thing going on with my dog, but it appears to have resolved itself right now. If you have hot weather, and your dog has also been exercising hard, then you can expect she will drink more. Also if she has been fed anything which is salty..... BUT...suddenly drinking a lot more can be a sign of many things. Has she been spayed? If not, it can be a sign of the dreaded Pyometra. Unusual, but not impossible in a 4 year old.
Avatar n tn I'm 24 with type two diabetes. I am obese. I take metformin. I've been waking up before my alarm everyday with a really weird, almost hungover, dizzy feeling and I don't want to open my eyes. I get restless and have to go to the bathroom. It's always diarrhea. I then start to get sweaty, nauseous, shaky... The top of my stomach starts feeling really weird. Ill usually start getting really emotional and upset about the way I'm feeling.
Avatar f tn Hi guys i had a trip to the doctors and gave a urine sample for diabetes, UTI, bloods for prostate and urine for chlamydia and Gonorreah. I gave a mid stream urine sample first thing in the morning. The results were negative for everything, as I expected, but I realised I should have given a First Void urine sample and not a mid stream sample for the stds.. will this affect the negative results I got for the stds and should I do it again.
Avatar f tn t have personal experience with this one, but I work in health care. Is there a diabetes education clinic or group in your area? They can be very helpful in helping you control your sugar levels. Some women can control it with food but not all. That all depends on your results. Your Dr will give you guidance as far as if you need insulin or another medication. But it will be alright, you have a diagnoses and this is something that is treatable. Take care.
Avatar m tn The blood glucose test is ordered to measure the amount of glucose in the blood right at the time of sample collection. It is used to detect both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, to help diagnose diabetes, and to monitor glucose levels in persons with diabetes. The urine glucose is seldom ordered by itself. At one time, it was used to monitor diabetics, but it has been largely replaced by the more sensitive and “real time” blood glucose.
Avatar f tn It is best that a second urine sample a few days later be done. A 24-hour urine sample may also be requested to quantify the protein content. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar f tn s age, but reasons could include diabetes with uncontrolled glucose, onset of nuclear cataracts, and degenerative myopia with progressive axial growth of the eye and retinal degeneration. Your sister should see an ophthalmologist for a complete exam, including dilation. She may also need to see a retinal specialist.
