Common Questions and Answers about Prevention of type 1 diabetes mellitus

Hello Candikane,
Your doctor's advice is surprising to me, also. I'm guessing that s/he is not a diabetes specialist and that's the type of physician who should be guiding your diabetes care. Specialists might be called endocrinologist or diabetologist.
None of us here is a physician, but we're long-time diabetics or care-givers for diabetic children.
You didn't mention if you've been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2, and the treatment options vary for these types.
good luck
High incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus during or shortly after treatment with pegylated interferon alpha for chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

I also noted the JAMA reminder/caution that food does not cause Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This study and others looked at the impact of specific foods/timing of introduction in at-risk children.
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.
Also Glucophage affects the action of insulin and is useful in reducing a number of the symptoms and complications of PCOS and also useful in the management of irregular periods, ovulation induction, weight loss, prevention of type 2 diabetes, and prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus in women with PCOS. You can discuss about this drug with your gynecologist.
I see you have the word 'diabetes' crossed. Diabetes is a Greek word meaning large amounts of urine. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus fall into this realm but both are separate mechanisms.
This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.
Below is the FDA information released by Astra Zeneca regarding this very issue
Patients with risk factors for diabetes mellitus (eg, obesity, family history of diabetes) who are starting treatment with atypical antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing at the beginning of treatment. Any patient treated with atypical antipsychotics should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weakness.
Glucophage affects the action of insulin and is useful in reducing a number of the symptoms and complications of PCOS and also useful in the management of irregular periods, ovulation induction, weight loss, prevention of type 2 diabetes, and prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus in women with PCOS. Weight loss can help reduce or prevent many of the complications associated with PCOS.
You can discuss these treatment options with a gynecologist/ endocrinologist and start the treatment.
Encourage her parents to seek out other parents with children who have diabetes (local JDRF chapter is one place to look), so that your niece can enjoy the experience of being just like everyone else from time to time. Those DM (diabetes mellitus) buddies can be very helpful to her as she grows up.
I was dx'd as a teen and have had a rich full life so far (I'm nearly 50) doing pretty much whatever I've wanted.
This finding is consistent with the study by Liu et al,5which reported a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in 155 HCV patients (19.35%) compared with that of controls (7.55%).
A prospective cohort of Taiwanese patients found HCV infection an independent predictor of diabetes, especially for people who are younger, with a higher body mass index, or HBV coinfection.
Several studies found hepatitis C (HCV) increases risk of Type II diabetes mellitus (DM). However, others found no or only sub-group specific excess risk. We performed meta-analyses to examine whether HCV infection does increase DM risk in comparison to the general population and in other sub-groups with increased liver disease rates including with hepatitis B (HBV). METHODS: We followed standard guidelines for performance of meta-analyses.
Some of these medications should be uptitrated by his cardiologist to allow for the maximum dose as he tolerates them (namely, Ramipril and Metoprolol). His Plavix should continue for either several months up to 1-2 years depending on the type of stent he received at the time of his percutaneous coronary intervention (bare metal stent vs. drug-eluting). As with most medications, daily compliance with all of these is imperative for maintaining healthy cardiovascular fitness.

Perhaps your A1C levels were at pre-diabetic levels, but your blood glucose levels were higher. It sounds like you've been doing really well, though, but you should talk to your doctor, though, because since it's already been high, you need to keep on top of it.
Stress, not enough sleep, your microbiome, notnenough vitamins, and diet among other things are causes of insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance causes diabetes.
Your liver makes insulin among other hormones and it can make as much glucose as your body needs. The pancreas stores the insulin until it is needed to move excess glucose out of your blood. Insulin unlocks the cells in the body to allow extra glucose into them for energy.
t necessarily mean a child will develop diabetes, and in particular not develop type 2 diabetes. Type 2 is primarily controlled with diet and exercise, so there is likely no greater risk of the child developing diabetes than anyone else. If the father is diabetic, either type 1 or 2, it is irrelevant to intercourse or child birth.
The best way to prevent type 2 diabetes in kids is to let them get plenty of exercise and make sure they eat a well balanced diet.
