Answer 5

he does not have diabetes because diabetes has to do with your pancreas not being able to produce INSULIN to regulate GLUCOSE levels, aka sugar. Sugar is a necessary energy source for your body while salt is merely a mineral, NaCl If salt was not iodized, we would not even need it. It's mainly for seasoning according to taste or preserving.

Furthermore, the full term for diabetes is actually diabetes mellitus which literally means "sweet".

Answer 6

Yes, It is possible. There is a type of diabetes called diabetes insipidus. It can cause abnormal electrolyte levels - sodium and potassium (salt levels) amongst other things.

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is an uncommon condition that occurs when the kidneys are unable to conserve water as they perform their function of filtering blood. The amount of water conserved is controlled by antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin.

ADH is a hormone produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then stored and released from the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain.

DI caused by a lack of ADH is called central diabetes insipidus. When DI is caused by failure of the kidneys to respond to ADH, the condition is called nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. The major symptoms of diabetes insipidus are excessive urination and extreme thirst. The sensation of thirst stimulates patients to drink large amounts of water to compensate for water lost in the urine.

Central diabetes insipidus is caused by damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland as a result of surgery, infection, tumor, or head injury.

Nephrogenic DI involves a defect in the parts of the kidneys that reabsorb water back into the bloodstream. It occurs less often than central DI. Nephrogenic DI may occur as an inherited disorder in which male children receive the abnormal gene that causes the disease on the X chromosome from their mothers.

Nephrogenic DI may also be caused by kidney disease (such as polycystic kidney disease), high levels of calcium in the body (hypercalcemia), and certain drugs (such as lithium, amphotericin B, and demeclocycline).

If thirst mechanisms are normal and adequate fluids are consumed, there are no significant effects on body fluid or salt balance. If inadequate fluids are consumed, the large amount of water lost in the urine may cause dehydration and high sodium levels in the blood.

Answer 7

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Answer 8

Absolutely not, NO SUCH THING... As in the previous answer, diabetes is strictly due to an insuliin deficiency in the body causing high sugar levels in the blood. If the sis's bf is to continue eating the way he does, he would be more apt to get hypertension not diabetes. He is full of chit.

Answer 9

Because you don`t need to add salt they are already salted, years ago they had a little blue twisty bag full of salt in the packet to salt your own, sometimes there were 2 bags and if you got a handfull of crisps sometimes you bit into the bag of salt, I think thats why they salted them for you now

Answer 10

Diabetes Insipidus is caused by the inability of the kidneys to conserve water, which leads to frequent urination and pronounced thirst.
