about diabetes?

Question

what are some things people do to cause themselves to become diabetic? does it happen to anyone or is it hereditary? & what is typical of your everday life if you have it?

Answer 1

Type 1 diabetes is either hereditary or just happens for unknown reasons, there is n o way to prevent it.
Type 2 diabetes is often a condition of lifestyle. People who are obese are much more likely to get it. Prevention, keep weight down to normal levels and exercise regularly

Answer 3

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Obesity is the major culprit in the great increase in numbers of adult-onset, type II diabetics currently in this country. Overeating causes the pancreas (isles of Langerhans) to excrete insulin in large quantities to attempt to combat the massive amounts of carbohydrates and sugars in the bloodstream; often insulin can not compensate so blood sugars rise beyond control. Genetics can often play a role as does race with African Americans seeming to be more at risk. Often diabetes can be controlled by losing weight and adhering to a diet low in concentrated sweets. The next stage in its treatment if diet fails would be oral medications followed finally by injectable insulin; that phase in the control of diabetes requires frequent blood sugar measurement utilizing a drop or two of blood drawn from a fingertip or forearm and placed onto a tab inserted into a measuring device. At that point, the balance of food and insulin becomes crucial as a very low blood sugar can be as dangerous as an excessively high one. Another problem facing diabetics is the tendency to be in denial regarding their conditions and therefore to cheat on their diets; strictly limiting the intake of calories is essential to treatment, and now there are many delicious alternatives to sugar- and carbohydrate-laden foods. I hope that what I've written is helpful to you...

Answer 6

well if your 3yr old has type 1 (as does mine) then we have to wake up in the moring and check her sugar, make her eat ( she doesn't like to eat most of the time), then I have to calulate her carbs and blood sugar. after that i have to give her a shot with 2 different type of insulin. then at lunch it is the same execept we only give one type of insulin. she gets a snack at 2:30 and then at supper its the same. and at bed time snack she gets no insulin. thats on a good day ( if she has a low number then i have to get her a glass of juice or regular pop), and if she get sick and her ketones go up then it call the Dr. and give her shot about every 2 hours and snacks every hour untill the ketones get better. and if a week goes by with high numbers then i have to call the DR. and get an insulin adjustment ( and get up at 2 am to do a sugar check). It is a lot of work but it is all worth staying on top of to keep her a healthy little girl.
As far as hereditary, we have 4 people in our family with type 1 diabetes and a couple with type 2( but there is no link between type 1 and 2

Answer 7

well in answer to your q here yes any living person can get this check with your doctor and have him run some tests this requires fasting tests and fact half of the people in this world and half dont know it i have type 2 and i require a 3000 calorie diet perday which is hard but if not i`ll be using the needle and i dont want this crap i`ll add a link for the canadian diabetic have a look alot of excellent stuff i live by it. but with your concerns please dont let it slide because i`ve had family members die of this the kidneys will shut you down sorry to be so blunt but its facts my friend
take-care

Answer 8

theres nothing u can really do to prevent yourself from getting type 1. type 1 diabetics need to take insulin shots before or after every meal. i think type 1 is hereditary. one of the biggest factors in developing type 2 is being obese. you can prevent yourself from becoming obese cant you?

Diabetes Mellitus
Description

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Carbohydrates are normally broken down in the body to glucose, the bodys main source of energy. Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, is essential for the transport of glucose into the cells for energy and also for glycogen storage. It also stimulates protein synthesis and free fatty acid storage in the adipose (fat) tissues. In diabetes, insufficient production of insulin or insensitivity to insulin impairs the bodys ability to convert glucose to energy, and compromises the body cells access to essential nutrients for fuel and storage.1

Types

Type I (juvenile) or insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is caused by the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. By the time the disease becomes apparent, up to 80% of the beta cells have been destroyed. This process is theorized to be the result of an autoimmune disorder.
Type II (adult onset) or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is a defect in insulin utilization. Normal amounts of insulin are made, but cannot be properly utilized by the body. 2

At Risk

The tendency to develop diabetes can be hereditary, other factors that can contribute to the development of type II diabetes include diet and lifestyle, pregnancy, surgery, physical and emotional stress, and obesity.

Prevention and Management

General:

Diet and lifestyle are the most important factors for the prevention of non-insulin dependent diabetes and in management of insulin-depended diabetes. Regular aerobic excerise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or bicycling, will improve how the body uses insulin and aids in the regulation of blood sugar and lipid levels.4

Nutritional Influences:

A high fiber diet is associated with an improved ability to handle blood sugar.5 When the diet is high in fiber, cells are more sensitive to insulin and increase the number of insulin receptor sites for burning glucose.6
Antioxidants, including vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene, bioflavanoids, and B-complex vitamins can help protect against free radical damage.7
Vitamin E levels in the blood of diabetics are lower than levels found in the blood of subjects without diabetes. Poor dietary intake of vitamin E may alter blood sugar levels, while an adequate intake may help to modulate blood sugar levels.8
Vitamin C metabolism and tissue levels are altered in diabetes.9 Optimal vitamin C intake may help to regulate blood sugar and aid in the prevention of diabetes.10
Minerals may also play a role in protecting against the damaging effects of diabetes. Diabetics tend to lose magnesium through their kidneys more than non-diabetics. Type I diabetics who get at least 450 mg of magnesium are able to improve insulin production and maintain better control of blood sugar levels.11
Trace minerals such as chromium are essential for insulin and glucose metabolism.12

Abstracts

Liu V, Abernathy R. Chromium insulin in young subjects with normal glucose tolerance. AM J Clin Nutr 1982;35:661-7. This study investigated the chromium-insulin relationship in young subjects who had normal glucose tolerance at different levels of insulin secretion during their glucose loading. Their findings were consistent with the hypothesis that chromium may facilitate sensitivity to insulin. When chromium was found to be low, there was an increase in abnormal glucose tolerance, which the authors felt could be reversed in some cases with chromium supplementation.
