Avatar n tn Type 1(juvenile) diabetes is most often diagnosed in childhood, but young adults and seniors can develop type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the persons pancreas stops producing insulin, resulting in the rise of blood sugar. Because Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmunine disease (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), the person's own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. More than 1 million Americans have Type 1 diabetes, for which there is no cure.
Avatar f tn You have posted on the type 2 forum, hyperglycemia, not type 1 aka juvenile diabetes. Prepare yourself to ask your doctor questions by using Google and search on 'hyperglycemia testing' and/or 'type 1 diabetes testing'. Also, call the doctor's office and ask if you should fast 8-10 hours prior. To add to allymarbles, an endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in diabetes care and treatment. Most PCP's know only basic care - here take this pill, call me later.
Avatar n tn As Zoe suggested, talk with your doctor to help get your glucose under control. Conditions associated with type 1 diabetes include hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis and celiac disease.

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 I was recently put on vicodin (hydrocodone/Apap) for ovarian pain and was curious if anyone has ever heard of Vicodin lowering blood sugars. I am a type 1 so I can't really figure this out. I haven' t changed anything and seem to be getting 3-4 low's a day(-60mg/dl). This never used to happen to me so it is a little nerve racking. I have a call into my Endocrinologist but he is on vacation and his colleague just said to test more.
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 f tn Are you having trouble managing your type 1 diabetes? I would talk to your doctor about how to keep your range at as consistent of a level as possible. https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/diabetes-headaches-soothing-aching-head/ Talk to your doctor about this.

Avatar n tn Do you know whether your diabetics are all Type 2 or if some of them are Type 1? It makes a difference in treatment. Also all diabetics vary a bit from each other in their control and management regimes. It might help if you could meet with the diabetics and ask them about their own treatment. High blood sugars put a diabetic at risk for complications if they go on for a long time, but are not usually medical emergencies.
Avatar n tn Hi I'm 24 years old,type 1 diabetes since i was 8 years old,sufffering sometimes from hypoglycemia but my major oroblem is depression esp when i have an attack of severe hypoglycemia or some complications as oral candidiasis for ex.It affect all my life i don't want to study or go out or do any of my hobbies,feeling so lonely & couldn't even seek help.PLZ HELP ME,THANK YOU.
Avatar m tn Only your doctor can determine your diabetes type by doing a c-peptide test to see how much insulin you are producing and an antibody test. Type 1 is an antibody condition and type 2 is not. Your regular doctor may not be knowledgeable about types and just assume you are type 2 due to your age. You need to get on a program of diet, exercise and medication. It sounds like you are doing well with the first two and need to be more regular with the third.

Avatar f tn Personally, I am not yet convinced that successfully getting rid of HCV means that insulin resistence , high blood sugar and diabetes type 2 go away. Diabetes type 2, I believe, will be an ongoing issue beyond HCV with possibly even more insidious ramifications than HCV. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I would see your doctor about this very soon, as folks with hypoglycemia may develop diabetes later on. You may have pre-diabetes, and need to go on a diabetic diet. Meanwhile, make sure you have both protein and carbohydrates with all meals, and with all snacks, which you seem to be doing. You also might need to get a dietary consult and/or see an endocrinologist, for both are specially trained in working with people with blood sugar problems.
Avatar f tn I am little confused after reading some info on Diabetes & Hypoglycemia. I have been told I am Insulin resistant & Hypoglycemic.....does this mean I am borderline Diabetic? I am 37 years old. I am on Metformin twice a day....any info would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed Type 1 (1.5) much later in life but I have spoken with many young diabetics and unfortunately, this rebellion stage is not uncommon. After being forced from a young age to be so disciplined they miss the freedom that their peers have and then stop for a time managing their diabetes as they should. You really can't make your son control his diabetes even though I know how hard this must be for you. One thing that might help is if he could connect to other diabetics his age.
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?
Avatar n tn My son, now 9-1/2 was dagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 3. My sister was diagnosed 8 yrs. ago at the age of 24. She was diagnosed before my son, so we had some info. on symptoms and knew something was wrong right away. When someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, there blood sugar would be higher than the normal range.
Avatar n tn t say if you have type 1 diabetes. How low does your blood sugar drop at how long after eating. Then how high does it spike? Are you on medication or insulin?
Avatar n tn It can lead to type 2 diabetes, and many people do suffer from hypoglycemia before developing type 2 diabetes. Other people never develop type 2 diabetes at all, but remain hypoglycemic. Your best actions are to do what you can to prevent the lows while also doing what you can to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
687079 tn?1230948612 what could cause reaccurent severe hypoglycemia in a type 2 diabetic who does not take any medicine or insulin and is diet controlled?
885280 tn?1289562555 Hypoglycemia can lead to diabetes if not watched. I was told by my doctor that we are going to have to watch me for diabetes as I am hypoglycemic. Because there is a history of diabetes in my family.
Avatar n tn I am one of the Forum Team who happens to be a female type 1 diabetic since childhood, so I speak from experience. While you don't want her to be ashamed of having this disease, she will feel "different" from her classmates and will probably go through a phase at some point where she wishes to keep her treatment as discreet as possible in order to keep her friends from focusing on her disease rather than on her as a person.
