My sister is 58, and she has been diagnosed with having diabetes for several years. She takes her insulin injections every day as prescribed. She is having extreme pain in her feet every day, she takes percocept but it has gotten to where that does not even help.
The physicians just keep telling her its a side effect of having diabetes. Can anyone tell me if you have ever heard of having such and what can be done about it . There is no sense in anyone being in so much pain…..Thank You ahead of time….

I had a fasting glucose test in late 2006 which returned normal. I went back to the doctor this week and he recommended I retest every 1.5 years to monitor that until I bring certain risk factors under control. Is it possible to go from normal to full blown diabetes in a year?

It has been obsereved that Diabetes occurs in people suffering from obesity.There should be some correlation between the two.This may be due to some physioloic,genetic,immunologic or some other factor.As a student of biotechnology,i wanted to know the precise relation between them and the mechanism by which they affect each other.I would also be thankful if some good websites for exploration of this topic are suggested.

Ashby asked:


I’ll be 23 weeks on Monday and I have an appointment with my OB then. I thought she said I’d have to do the glucose test at that time, but she may have meant later. I wondered when you’re typically tested for gestational diabetes in pregnancy?

Also, I’ve noticed I am so thirsty lately. I know this can be a sign of diabetes. But I wondered if dry mouth/thirst is also just a symptom that some pregnant women deal with (who DON’T have diabetes)?

Thanks!

mommy of a 10 month old. asked:


I have just found out that I have gestational diabetes and I am over 37 weeks pregnant. It has gone undiagnosed and we have found out that I why my baby is so large. She is already 8 pounds 12 ounces based on the ultra sound. They won’t let us induce until at least 39 weeks. I have been eating healthy but not healthy for someone with gestational diabetes. My concerns are now with my baby and I want her to be healthy. Any personal expieriences would be great!

Chris asked:


I was wondering what the chances of me are of getting diabetes. My grand mom has diabetes(well I think she does she has a machine to check her blood sugar but i never saw her inject herself with insolen) and both of her sisters sons also have diabetes. I think there are about 1 or 2 more people who have it but I cant think of them.

Also does your diet have any effect on wether you can get diabetes or not and how often should I get checked for it?

I have diabetes (newly diagnosed, but apparently I have had it fo a while and didn’t know it according to my doctor) and my hair keeps falling out near the crown and in the back, causing thin spots.
Someone told me that this can be a symptomatic cause from having diabetes. Is this true and if so; why?
