Livabetes give me sugar dizzies asked:


Earlier today I read an article about shoes and the different problems with different kinds of shoes.

I can’t find it anymore, which is why I didn’t post the link.

But in the article, it said that someone with diabetes or would likely eventually get diabetes should never go without shoes; whether inside or outside their house.

Why would that be? Thanks for any help in understanding this.

I was wondering how often i should get checked for diabetes because both my dad and my grandma have it. I know that i am at risk because it runs on my dads side of the family.
I also get dizzy when I stand up. And I am a teen that does do sports. I am not overweight.
When i do get dizzy i feel like i am about to faint and if i eat something it helps.

I am doing a research paper on finding out the causes and possible solutions to the problem diabetes in immigrant Latinos but I only found two sites including the Kaiser site that have any relevent information. I need anything that has solid statistics and objective viewpoints(or at least close to it) on the subject. Thanks!

I just found out that my dog has developed diabetes, nd she is only 7 years old. She also developed cateracts as a side effect, and i now have to give her 2 shots of of insulin a day, along with a change in her diet. This isn’t a big deal, i just haven’t heard of this being all that common.

My friend has type 2 diabetes and only tests himself when he feels bad. He goes to his parents house and borrows his mom’s kit. I want to buy him one that he can carry with him and is easy to use;doesn’t need alot of maintainance.

I would like to know how people control their diabetes in terms of personal things that you may do to keep as close to a normal blood sugar as possible. In addition to meds.

As an observation, it seems when one has high blood it comes next that he has heart ailment or diabetes. What’s the connection and what is the prevention on this?

Like the question states, what type of diabetes happens during pregnancy.
More importantly, why does the head of most babies are usually abnormally large after such a pregnancy?
I am more looking for an answer on why there heads are usually large after such a pregnancy.

It is a question my teacher has been asking and he wants to know why.

I am barely 6 weeks pregnant and had a blood glucose test done last week, the results came back high at 220. Does anyone know if that is too early for gestational diabetes, or do you think I had diabetes before the pregnancy and just didn’t know about it?
The reason they tested so early is because my younger sister has diabetes; however, it’s juvenile diabetes (Type 1). This is my first pregnancy, so I’ve never had the problem before.
