diabetes remedy No Comments »

Since November is Diabetes Awareness month, here at http://DoctorsExpressHartsdale.com, we encourage you to educate yourselves on the warning signs diabetes. Diabetes is an epidemic that affects more and more people each year. In the U.S alone, over 25 million people suffer from diabetes, and it is estimated that of those 25 million, approximately half of them are completely unaware of their condition. On average, a person with the disease dies 10 to 15 years sooner than a person without diabetes.

If detected and treated in the early stages, diabetes can be managed. A considerable portion of treatment of diabetes involves minor changes in daily routines. Lifestyle changes such as eating well, exercising, not smoking, and limited alcohol consumption, can all help to control the effects of diabetes. Typically, in addition to a healthier lifestyle, an oral medication in necessary in order to control the body’s insulin levels.

If you notice that you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, we advise that you consult your doctor about diabetes screening. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent the symptoms from manifesting into more serious, sometimes life threatening, medical complications

7 Warning Signs of Type 2 Diabetes:
Blurry vision
unexplained weight loss
incessant thirst
increased urination
nerve pain or numbness in hands and or feet
constant hunger
cuts and infections

If not managed early on, complications may include: severe kidney problems potentially leading to renal failure and the need for dialysis, premature heart attacks or strokes, cuts and infections that can lead to amputation, or serious nerve damage that can also lead to the amputation of the affected limb.

Again, we are currently in the middle of Diabetes Awareness Month. If you find yourself experiencing any of the symptoms previously mentioned or you have reason to suspect you might have type 2 diabetes, we urge that you come see us at Doctors express or go see your primary doctor where you can be screened usually with an A1C test.

Gestational diabetes mellitus review on nursing care, symptoms, and pathophysiology.

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs during the 2nd to 3rd trimester of pregnancy. It tends to disappear after pregnancy. However, many women will go on to develop Type 2 diabetes later one.

Gestational diabetes development during to low insulin sensitivity that occurs during later pregnancy. This is majorly influenced by pregnancy hormones such as human placental lactogen etc.

Symptoms of gestational diabetes are similar to hyperglycemia: increased hunger, thirst, urination, glucose in the urine, fruity breath, etc.

Diabetes refers to a group of conditions characterized by a high level of blood glucose, commonly referred to as blood sugar. Too much sugar in the blood can cause serious, sometimes life-threatening health problems.
There are two types of chronic diabetic conditions: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Pregnant women may acquire a transient form of the disease called “gestational diabetes” which usually resolves after the birth of baby. Pre-diabetes is when the blood sugar level is at the borderline: higher than normal, but lower than in diabetics. Prediabetes may or may not progress to diabetes.
During food digestion, carbohydrates – or carb – break down into glucose which is carried by the bloodstream to various organs of the body. Here, it is either consumed as an energy source – in muscles for example – or is stored for later use in the liver. Insulin is a hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas and is necessary for glucose intake by target cells. In other words, when insulin is deficient, muscle or liver cells are unable to use or store glucose, and as a result, glucose accumulates in the blood.
In healthy people, beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin; insulin binds to its receptor on target cells and induces glucose intake.
In type 1 diabetes, beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed by the immune system by mistake. The reason why this happens is unclear, but genetic factors are believed to play a major role. Insulin production is reduced; less insulin binds to its receptor on target cells; less glucose is taken into the cells, more glucose stays in the blood. Type 1 is characterized by early onset, symptoms commonly start suddenly and before the age of 20. Type 1 diabetes is normally managed with insulin injection. Type 1 diabetics are therefore “insulin dependent”.
In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas produces enough insulin but something goes wrong either with receptor binding or insulin signaling inside the target cells. The cells are not responsive to insulin and therefore cannot import glucose; glucose stays in the blood. In other words, type 2 diabetics are “insulin resistant”. Here again, genetic factors predispose susceptibility to the disease, but it is believed that lifestyle plays a very important role in type 2. Typically, obesity, inactive lifestyle, and unhealthy diet are associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 is characterized by adult onset; symptoms usually appear gradually and start after the age of 30. Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 80 to 90% of all diabetics. Management focuses on weight loss and includes a low-carb diet.
