Avatar f tn 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. So, give us more information and we'll try to answer further.
15695260 tn?1549593113 My kids have undergone testing and are negative. Despite this, and a low carb diet, their blood glucose levels as measured by hba1c are slowly rising over time. There are also autoimmune disease prevention protocols that some people are using to prevent t1D, these include monitoring vitamin D levels and dosing Vitamin D and Omegas, as well as adopting low carb diets.
Avatar m tn At the same time I was informed by one of the nurses that I had diabtes. It rang up 8.5 which, according to my brother who has had diabetes for years, is not that serious. However, I am not one to ignore danger signals so, I will be looking into all the info regarding the problem. Every time my wife looks at me she shakes her head. She says that if there are any more diseases out there I should stay away from them.
Avatar m tn I agree with rivll with this. It is the distance that stops people from really caring. If it happened right here at home, there would be a different level of outrage. It shouldn't matter though. Kids are kids, wherever they are. How they were killed shouldn't matter a lick. This too, just like the shootings was avoidable, but we aren't hearing a lot about that. This goes to show where the media has placed its collective heads.
Avatar n tn Also, your other children have the same chance to develop diabetes as your son. That is both good news and bad news, as your son has been diagnosed, but the rate of diagnosis in kids is 1 in every 500. So the chances are low. But I would still test. There is a national study going on that will test you and your child's siblings for free just for participating (if you qualify). Here's the info: http://www2.diabetestrialnet.
7184931 tn?1390773745 I almost feel like homeschooling my son. I seen on the news that some public schools lock kids in padded boxes with no lights if they act up in anyway and using eltric shock therepy on high schoolers as a form of detention. Parents weren't even informed of this and one teen was killed as a result.
161782 tn?1201217932 //www.webmd.com/news/20000613/hepatitis-b-vaccine-linked-to-onset-of-diabetes). What's the point of vaccinating an infant, hours after birth, for a disease that only drug users and sexually promiscuous people are exposed to?
Avatar n tn Hello DMom, I can imagine the stress and embarassment that your child may feel. I'm not a physician (none of us is a physician here), but did find some potentially useful information -- much of it was news to me, but since you've been dealing with bed-wetting for years, it may not be news to you. This site: http://www.bedwetting.ferring.ca/parents/treatment/index.html was very helpful with tips 'n' techniques.
Avatar n tn gestational diabetes isn't your fault at all . some people that eat healthy still have it because your body reacts different when pregnant. if you already eat healthy then the diet they put you on to control it shouldn't be s problem . good luck though seems like I wouldwant a new ddoctor .
495035 tn?1221753092 Just to let you all know had diabetes tests over two weeks, and good news no Diabetes, so cream doughnuts back on the menu :) and doc was really good this morning about numb bits of me,she is much more friendly towards me and is taking things seriously,even to the point of writing to my workplace so i dont lose job.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone am 12 weeks and they called me from a specialist office making me appts and i asked the lady why and she like u have diabetes ??? So now am scared and dont want to eat anything cuz i dont know if it will harm my baby.... But what am really upset if that my ob dident call and told me the news???? Has anyone been threw this???
Avatar n tn I would suggest reading as much as you can about gestational diabetes. Go to the American Diabetes Assoc. website. Ask your doctor for more information. See if you can go see a dietician to help you sort through your eating plan. And keep asking questions when you have them, on this site. I know the other volunteers and viewers will help you by answering questions that may come up! You can do this and you and your baby will be fine.
7062464 tn?1395341888 If you don't get a call within a few days I would say it's safe to say you don't have it
506791 tn?1439842983 This may indicate she no longer needs as much, if any, insulin; diabetes may be in remission. When we said goodnight, she was wide awake and responsive. The vet tech said she had good tortietude. We'll find out tomorrow. I was so scared, I almost thought I was having a seizure too, the way my hands were shaking. I'd been concerned about her the past couple of days, was going to call in the morning to see if her regular vet had an appointment open.
432737 tn?1358549432 they were not able to find a heartbeat. The technician just told me she wished she had better news and told me to see my OB upstairs. I was devastated and cried my eyes out. My OB was not in but the nurses called her. Because there was growth and my numbers had increased nicely she was not 100% comfortable having D&C yet - she said she has seen "crazier things" and ordered I come back on Monday, the 8th for another ultrasound.
1831849 tn?1383228392 The bad news is that I'm no longer in Italy. The good news is that my insurance company has paid, yes already paid, for my RItuxan treatment! All that's left to do is schedule it!
9924471 tn?1419954420 I would say no news is good news. I also failed my 1 hour glucose test on December 22nd and I had to take the 3 hour one december 31st and a day later I got a call saying i failed. So I would take it that you have passed.
Avatar n tn There was recently reports on a procedure done in Brazil on kids as young as 14 using stem cells which has reversed the diabetes of 12 of 15 of the kids in the test. It is a procedure which is not allowed in the US because of how dangerous it is. It is also only possible for people very early in their diagnosis who are still in their honeymoon. This is a very dangerous procedure, and it's not a cure for all. There does create the hope, though, that a cure for all is possible.
Avatar f tn I found out today that I have developed gestational diabetes :( My doctor is sending me to a counselor to see if we can keep my glucose under control through diet and lifestyle changes. She will also be prescribing a glucose monitor and wants me to do finger sticks before meals as well as after (I can't recall if she said 1 or 2 hours after meals). I will now see her every 1-2 weeks. I am hoping to be able to control this without insulin or medication.
