um if i find out that i dont have diabetes but there’s a chance i might get it in the future, is it possible to take something to be immune from it, my parents checked me as a baby and as a baby i had no diabetes.
um everflamen you know for the blurry vision, it’s like um, i dont think it’s something to do with diabetes, i mean i pplay computer games alot and um after i look at the screen for long and i look at a tv screen it’s like um, i can see the lights of the tv reflecting off and um a bit blurry but i think that’s has to do with me playing games alot, the sympton i seem to have is thirst, but the thirst i have is alike i go and take a drink sometimesbofore i sleep.
If I have diabetes, i heard you can take a pill instead of an injection now? and um does that mean I can’t take things like fast food, or a donut or coca cola, plz explain
Diabetics are suppose to stay away from food with alot of sugar in it. Also food with alot of carbs in it. We have to drink sugar free and diet drinks. Not only do they have to inject insulin but also test their blood everyday with a gluclose meter. Diabetes is not a painful disease but it effect every part of your body if you dont take care of it. You can go blind, have your limbs cut off, or kidney failure, gum disease, every part of your body is not safe with diabetes. All because of sugars!
If it goes back to your great-grandparents, and your grandparents and parents dont suffer from diabetes, the chance is minimal that you have it. However, out from the symptoms that you write down here, I myself get rather concerned. High blood sugar changes the shape and flexibility of the lens of the eye distorting the ability to focus and causes blurred vision. I think you should go talk with your parents, have them take you to a doctor, and then get a blood test. please hurry though.
However; if you dont inject insulin frequently, the body cells will fail to obtain the glucose, making the sugar trapped in your blood. If this happens, your blood sugar will rise, and you will feel dizzy, uncomfortable, and long exposure to these effects can cause a diabetic coma.
For diabetics, the amount of sugar you ingest during meals throughout the day, is all controlled by the amount of insulin you inject. Therefore, it would be unwise to eat lots of candy if you take a usual small dose of insulin.
The more sugar you obtain, the more insulin you need.
So, to sum it up: There’s nothing you can’t eat. You can continue your daily life as long as you have your insulin on you. However;
The reason people get diabetes is because an organ called the pancrea suddenly stops producing insulin. Insulin is a hormone used by the cells in the body to make the blood sugar (glucose) into storagable energy (glycogen). This is all needed to complete a successful respiratory process.
When your pancrea stops producing insulin for the body, you have to inject the insulin yourself. For non-diabetics, the body stabilizes the level of insulin itself, so it doesn’t matter how much sugar you eat.
guys please help me!! My dad’s grandmother and grandpa died of diabetes, ok look, um at night when i’m about to sleep i go and drink some juice, it’s like i need to get some sugar, and um well when my feet are in water um i get a small tingling in the water for a little bit and then it goes, as for the blurry vision is the blurry vision like it’s there or is it a blurry as in it comes and it goes.
Go ask out your doctor. You can easily have the symptoms without have diabetes, so relax. You might not have it. Check with your doctor to be sure, tho.
East africans such as somalians etiopians and eritreans are the least likely to develop diabetes ,so caucasians are more likely to get diabetes than east africans so ur wrong on ”if ur non caucasian ur less likely to develop diabetes” yes but there are the exceptions !!!
If you have diabetes, find a diabetes education program at your nearest hospital. They can give you great help in dealing with the disease and help you greatly lower your risk of complications!
Please visit your doctor and be checked. This is nothing to wait and see about. You can lower your risks for complications by taking control early. So please find out if you have diabetes and then find a diabetes education program to help you deal with it!
NO when you lose weight (as someone who has) if you already have diabetes. If you don’t already have diabetes you can greatly lower your risk. Risk is based on more than just weight.
Yes, losing weight will help to lower blood sugar levels somewhat, however; your blood sugar levels are a result of what you eat, drink and how much sleep and exercise you get. Good luck.
