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.
I have been diagnosed with genital herpes type 1 but i'm confused as to what this means. There isn't a very clear idea given on any of the health sites i'm tried and I was too distraught to ask the nurses at the clinic i first went to. How does type one differ from type two? Does this mean i'm more or less likely to pass it on? Will i be having more outbreaks?
Neuro dr tested me a while back. Even took spinal fluid ( that hurt!) but said my only issue is type 1. But I'm terrified I got type 2 now.
I should get IGG results tomorrow. I have had a weekend on pain in groin but no sores. Little red spots but they go away in a day. Everything I'm feeling I felt before. The big difference is my back and muscles in and around my pelvic region have been painful more than before. I hoped wearing a condom would help me and the famvir.
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.
I recently was diagnosed with genital herpes. I don't know if it's type 1 or type 2 yet. I will be getting a blood test in a couple more months to find out. I had unprotected oral sex and protected vaginal sex on the same occassion. Afterwards, I found out the girl gets a cold sore on her lip once or twice a year (but not during our encounter) and claims to never have had any genital herpes symptoms or outbreaks.
I was diagnosed with type II diabetes 3 months ago. I was started on byetta at the routine initial dose which was increased 2 months ago. I am only taking byetta, and no oral hypoglycemics (metformin, etc.)I have lost 29 lbs in that length of time, primarily due to decreased appetite, nausea, and vomiting. I understand that this is in all likelyhood due to delayed gastric emptying. My question: Is this ever going to get better???
He said it was 5.1. Which is low for a type 1 diabetic. I was diagnosed with diabetes 6 yrs ago, I am 26 right now. He said all of my blood work was absolutely perfect, cholesterol, liver enzymes,etc. I am currently taking 70/30 twice a day 10 units each time. He suggested that I lower my dosage. My question is that with my Ha1c being so low is that normal for a diabetic? He seems to be in shock. I lost 10 lbs recently too. He said he has never seen bloodwork so perfect for a diabetic.
My husband and I are thinking about having another baby. I have been a type 1 since age 12 and am now 27. I had my daughter at age 23, and also went on the pump, and was extremely lucky because she was healthy although unplanned. I am working towards tighter control over the next several months to get my A1c down to >7. Right now I have been running a high A1c at about 9, so i have a ways to go.
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.
It seems to me that you have been working very closely with your pediatrician. General recommendations for when to inroduce certain foods are just that ... general recommendations. Your child needed something different due to his unique situation.
In my experience (as a 40+ year type 1), endos with an understanding of type 1 adults (those of us with complications, for example) are rare. I have found 2, one who was part of a large endo group and chose to focus on type 1, and my current endo who IS a type 1. The understanding and advice I recieve is unquestionably much better from such a doctor, even compared to those who have had many more years experience. It is worth the effort to search for one.
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...
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?
