What do yall know about diabetes???

Answer 1

A lot. I was diagnosed at 9, now 22. I am a T1 using an insulin pump. Type one is an autoimmune disorder where your pancreas makes no insulin. These diabetics need to take insulin either by injection or a pump. Type two is when someone is insulin resistant. These diabetics are treated with a combination of diet, exercise, medication (pills), and some even take insulin. There is gestational diabetes which is similar to type two when a woman is pregnant. LADA is Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults or Slow Onset Type 1. This is a form of type 1. It's an autoimmune disease diagnosed in those over 25 at age of diagnosis. It is different from regular type 1 in that it's onset is slow and many people won't even require insulin for the first year or two. MODY is Maturity Onset Diabetes of Youth. Diagnosed in kids, this is a genetic form of diabetes that is known to run in families. It has many forms, MODY 3 being the most common. It is characterized by lower than normal insulin levels, lack of insulin resistance, a strong family history, and a young age at diagnosis. However, there is not absolute insulin deficiency, antibody testing will be negative, and it usually responds well to pills. May be treatable without insulin, some do require insulin treatment. There is genetic testing that can be done to diagnosis MODY, but it can be inconclusive. Then there is double diabetes where someone is insulin dependent and insulin resistant meaning they need to take insulin and pills.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 7

Too damn much and more than any person (besides a doctor) should have to know.

I'm an insulin dependent diabetic- have been since age 4. I've had it for 34 years.

Answer 8

Too much...

Having been an insulin dependent diabetic for many years, I know more about the disease than I care to.

Oh well...it's a way of life for me and many others. You can't control or manage it without knowing a thing or two about it.

Answer 10

Avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates.
Eat balanced meals at regular times.

The energy that we get from foods, measured in calories, comes from three types of nutrients: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Any food that provides calories will raise blood sugar. When foods are digested, they are broken down into the body’s basic fuel-- glucose, a type of sugar. The glucose is absorbed by the bloodstream, and is then known as blood glucose or blood sugar. In a person without diabetes, insulin is released by the pancreas after a meal or snack to allow the glucose in the blood to get into the body’s cells, where it is burned for energy. This brings the level of glucose in the blood back down to the normal range. If insulin is not produced or is not working properly, the glucose can not enter the cells to be used, and it builds up in the bloodstream. This results in high blood sugar, and this condition is known as diabetes.
Although all foods that provide calories are converted into glucose by the body, certain nutrients have a more direct effect on the blood’s glucose level. Fats in foods are eventually digested and converted into glucose, but this can take up to 6 to 8 or more hours after a meal, and the release of glucose into the blood is very slow ... Protein in foods (such as meats, poultry, fish, eggs, soy and other beans, and milk) takes about 3 to 4 hours after a meal to "show up" as blood glucose.
Carbohydrates, on the other hand, take only about half an hour to an hour after a meal to be turned into blood glucose.
Any food that is high in any type of carbohydrate will raise blood glucose levels. Foods high in carbohydrates include starches such as rice, pasta, breads, cereals, and similar foods.
The goal is to provide a mixture of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins at each meal at an appropriate calorie level to both provide essential nutrients as well as create an even release of glucose into the blood.
