question on diabetes?

Question

If eating too much sugars will cause your blood sugar level to rise, then why do does some people constantly eat and they don't seem to be sick at all? I noticed that once you become a diabetic, all helll breaks lose and you eat so carefully, I'm confused

Answer 1

Scientific evidence indicates that diets high in sugars do not cause diabetes. The most common type of diabetes occurs in overweight adults. Avoiding sugars alone will not correct overweight. To lose weight, reduce the total amount of calories from the food you eat and increase your level of physical activity.

Answer 3

If a person does not have diabetes they can eat any food with carbohydrate, their blood sugar level will rise a bit and then their pancreas will produce some insulin which allows that 'sugar' to be transported from the blood and carried to cells for energy. A person with diabetes either does not produce any insulin (type 1 diabetes) or they are not able to use their insulin effectively (type 2 diabetes). Either way, the 'sugar' has no way of leaving the blood, so it remains 'trapped' there. The blood sugar level gets higher and higher, making that person feel pretty ordinary. As the 'sugar' is not being effectively transported to the cells for energy, the person becomes very tired all the time, has no energy etc etc. They will also become very unwell, particularly in the case of a person with type 1 diabetes, as this situation can become life threatening.

Diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Being a diabetic (Type 1 or 2) means that your body is not able to resist as well because your autoimmune system is busy being diabetic.

Sounds crazy. A diabetic heals slower -- which increases the risk of infection. A diabetic bruises easier, and those bruises take a long time to heal. Surgery is riskier because of these issues, thus minor health problems could be serious.

Having continued high blood sugars not only damages your organs, but decreases your body's ability to resist infections and viruses. And then because it takes longer to overcome these issues, you run the risk of secondary infections or problems.

A normal person (non-diabetic) who eats constantly, but seems to be able to metabolize it (burn it) off has a working and healthy autoimmune system. Their body is producing the insulin to counter the intake of foods.

Eating foods high is sugar (candy, cake, cookies, etc) does not cause diabetes, but does make the autoimmune system weaken and you will find that these people get ill more often than those eating foods that are better for them (fruits, nuts, raw vegi's).

Another thing to consider: often it is recommended that to lose weight you eat a little every 4 hours! Healthy foods of course (handful of nuts, yogurt, fruit...). This causes your metablism to continually work and burns calories. Along with exercise, this is a good thing.

Answer 5

If a person is diabetic, they shouldn,t be eating all the time. Chances are, they are completely unaware of the fact that they are doing extesive long term damage to their nerves and circulation that will result in high blood pressure, kidney failure, blindness, poor circulation in the extremities such as feet, hands, eyes, reproductive organs. As far as how they look, although some diabetics look sick, some of us don't. You'd never guess by looking at me. The problem with not looking sick is, by the time a person does look sick, they are on the way to a hospital. If you do exactly what your dr. tells you, you will eventually get sick. As a diabetic, it's your responsibility to understand, pay attention, control and manage your diabetes. I could write a book on this topic alone. You won't be able to make your friend take his condition seriously. Although it is a serious condition, It shouldn't stop any part of a normal life. All hell breaks loose when a person ignores the fact that they have diabetes.

Answer 7

Eating 'sugar' does not increase your blood sugar if you are not a diabetic. Diabetes as a disease begins at least 10 years before the glucose is elevated. It is a complex disease and an elevation in blood sugar is the 'marker' (how we follow the disease) not the disease itself. A diabetic whose blood sugar is 'normal' is still not a normal person - they are still a diabetic - and they have a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease even with a normal blood sugar.

Answer 8

Well diabetes counts on carbohydrates. You can get diabetes from becoming over weight or getting it from a relative or being born with the gene. When you get diabetes then you have to watch what you eat or else you'll go into diabetic coma and die. Does that answer your question?

Answer 9

It's all a matter of counting carbs and basing your medication and exercise on those numbers.

Many people with diabetes type 2 do not even know they have it or do not have any signs of illness until several years after dx.

Answer 10

It all comes down to endocrinology of your pancrease cells and its ability to produce insulin fast enough to balance the amount of sugar we consume. Insulin makes sure our blood sugar levels do not get too high.
