I have a few questions about gestational diabetes and seeing a perinatologist?
July 4th, 2009
Molly asked:
I am going to start seeing the perinatologist for uncontrolled gestational diabetes. Will I still see the OB on a regular basis and only go to the perinatologist for the diabetes also? Will my regular OB still do the delivery or will the perinatologist do it? What can I expect out of my visits with the new doctor and what sort of extra testing will they do on the baby if I have to take insulin?

The International Diabetes Federation recently published findings revealing that in 2007, the country with the largest numbers of people with diabetes is India (41 million), followed by China (40 million), the United States (24 million), Russia (10 million) and Germany (8 million). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predict that this Disabling Disease will Double by 2050.
Some other alarming diabetes statistics include the fact that there is one person in the world dying of diabetes every ten seconds. Also, there will be two new diabetic cases in the world being identified every ten seconds. And, what’s worse, these very same diabetes statistics tell us that by the year 2025, there will be as many as seven million new diabetic cases in the world. Another frightening statistic is that More than 5 million of the 24 million Americans who have diabetes don’t know it.
Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With Type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.
The symptoms can be some or all of the following; blurred vision; feelings of irritability; severe fatigue; unexpected weight loss; feelings of extreme hunger; an excessive thirst; a frequent desire to urinate, often during the night; irritation of the skin in the genital area and the slower than normal healing of superficial wounds.
With all of this in mind… We have made this site for you, the Diabetic and the Potential Diabetic. We have gone to great length to put together a site where all can come to Shop for all your Diabetic Needs, Learn about the Disease and the Treatments Available, Get Tested if you are experiencing symptoms as well as to create community, make new friends living the Diabetic Life. A place where all can share their knowledge, experiences and information. Some content which we have researched and added to The Mall is our Diabetes Information Link Page, Our My Fellow Diabetic Forum and the Diabetic Mall Blog where Fellow Diabetics can Communicate and Share what is working and what is not working for them. This is more then just a Forum and a Blog, it is an Online Diabetic Community where all can come together…

Shouldn’t GLUCONEOGENESIS take place in a insulin dependent (diabetes mellitus) person,NOT Glycogenesis?
July 2nd, 2009
Radha Rani asked:
It seems to make sense that instead of Glycogenesis, Gluconeogenesis should take place because glucose is from a non-carb source, that being insulin, which is basically protein…

Diabetes - Diagnosing Diabetes
July 2nd, 2009
Diagnosing diabetes is vital, not only for managing your condition for the long term, but also to ensure that you do not end out suffering from some of the horrible effects of this condition, which can lead to blindness and amputation to name but a few. Now although that opening line may sound a bit scary let me put it into place by saying that although there is no cure for diabetes, with the correct lifestyle and medical advice this condition can be kept under control very well so that even if you have it you should be able to live life almost as if it were not there.
Before we get into diagnosing diabetes, I first need to point out there are two types of diabetes. Type 1 which is quite often found in the young and is possibly more of a hereditary condition, and Type 2. Type 2 is possibly now becoming an epidemic as it is quite often a self inflicted condition which is caused by poor food choices which often lead to obesity and this is strongly linked to type 2 diabetes, and I say it is near epidemic because of the alarming rate at which obesity is growing.
The first steps to diagnosing diabetes is to watch out for the warning signs, such as frequent urination (especially at night), extreme thirst, unexplained weight loss and blurred vision. If you notice these signs then you must see a Doctor straight away so they can begin tests to see if you have diabetes.
The tests are often blood or urine tests to measure the glucose in the body. The reason for this is to check for insulin resistance because this can eventually lead to impaired glucose tolerance, and stop it doing its job which is to tightly control the amount of sugar in the blood and keep it within a narrow range. The resistance occurs when there is plenty of insulin made by the pancreas (it is functioning normally and making plenty of insulin) but the cells of the body are resistant to it’s action which results in the blood sugar being too high.
The good news out of all this is that if you are diagnosed with diabetes, then you can control it through insulin. However you would probably want to keep your insulin dosage as low as possible, and this is where lifestyle changes come in to play. The main cause of too much sugar in the blood is refined white flour and white sugar. Our bodies are not used to having them in the form that they are but the reason why we have got away with it for so long is because we have never put them into our bodies at the rate that we do now. With white bread and pastry in abundance and sugar going into everything (even frozen food) then you have to be more vigilant than ever on what you eat to keep your diabetes under control, and live a healthy life.

Is having diabetes and insulin dependent considered a disability legally?
July 2nd, 2009
kitty asked:
I have a friend who was told her can’t get his driving permit or license untill he goes 2 or 2 whole years w/o a seizure from his diabetes. He is almost 18 now. He is insulin dependant. He has to take it after EVERYTHING he eats. I understand people will say “diabetes is a disease not a disability” but I beg to differ. A disease such as diabetes can also be a disability in alot of cases! I just need some other opinions on this.
