Diabetes Questions...help me out...?

Question

What kind of diabetes could one develop at the age of 19? What are the symptoms? Are any of these similar to pregnancy symptoms?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you're overweight you can develop type I, for which you would need insulin, or it could also be genetic. Anyone in the family has it? Most likely it would type II, you could take oral meds.
Symtoms: always thirsty, weight loss, urinate fequently, tired alot.
No does not mimic pregnancy symtoms.

Answer 2

Type II diabetes is usually what you would get later in life. If you are pregnant - there is something called "gestational diabetes" that happens to some women. You will usually stabalize after you have the baby. Diabetes symtpoms usually include, excessive hunger, excessive thirts, frequent urination. Some people will be tired and irritable and others may have weight loss or weight gain. If you are worried at all, see your doctor when you can, but this should help put your mind at ease in the meantime. :)

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

At 19, the chances of type 2 are low unless you have been eating way too much for too long. The symptoms mentioned above are typical. They are not very similar to pregnancy. If you find out that your blood sugar is running high, and you've been drinking milk your whole life, you might want to read the links under type 1 below:

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Answer 4

Well you can develop late onstage diabetes melitus. It used to be called adult-onset as opposed to juvenile diabetes, but now it is distinguished by Type I and Type II. You can actually develop either one of them at any stage of life, it's just the type you have. Type I: your pancreas produces no insulin, or Type II: our body develops a resistance to insulin.
The 3 main indicators are the three P's:
Polydipsia (increased thirst)
Polyurea (increased urination)
Polyphagia (increased hunger)

These signs/symptoms can actually develop during a pregnancy which is called gestational diabetes. These symptoms are normally classified as 'pregnancy symptoms', so if you are concerned you should obviously get a pregnancy test.
If you have the three P's, you should see your family doctor to get some blood work and urine test to determine if in fact you are a diabetic.
good luck

Answer 5

Type 2 Diabetes, which is becomming an epidemic now. It used to hit people in their forties and fifities, but know people and young as 19 are getting it.
It is basically caused for eating too much junk food and eating too much. Drinking soft drinks and juices with high sugar content is probably even worse than the food.
People have to eat more wheat bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, non processed foods, and exercise more.
People this young should not be getting diabetes.

Major Types of Diabetes


Type 1 diabetes
Results from the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that "unlocks" the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes
Results from insulin resistance (a condition in which the body fails to properly use insulin), combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.

Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women - about 135,000 cases in the United States each year.

Pre-diabetes
Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 41 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 20.8 million with diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes

Answer 7

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Read here https://tr.im/S4PB1
Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.

Answer 8

Reduce your stress. Your stress hormone cortisol can be activated by extremely low-calorie weight loss plans, intense training, lack of sleeping and day-to-day worries, which results in a spike in glucose levels in your blood. More worryingly, it can give rise to blocked arteries and fat build-up around your internal organs, putting you in danger of diabetes and heart disease. The only real prescription for this is to… pass the time.
