Some of the earlier symptoms of type 2 diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst and hunger, weight loss despite adequate food intake, and persistent fatigue. Later symptoms can include neuropathy and retinopathy, which manifest with pain in the feet, possible numbness and sores that are slow to heal, and with blurry vision or other visual disturbances.

The only way to diagnose diabetes is by blood test, so if you think you may have diabetes, you should contact your health care provider. Diabetes is usually diagnosed with a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dL on two separate occasions, or a random glucose level of 200 mg/dL or more.

It is good that you are aware of your poor dietary habits. The next step is to work towards a healthier diet. Don’t try to change too many things at once, because that will only set you up for failure. Instead, make a list of all the unhealthy habits you have, and then come up with a healthy habit to replace the unhealthy one with. Next, go down the list and focus on each habit one at a time. For example, you may want to start by trying to eliminate all sodas you drink and replace them with water. Once you have done so successfully, tackle the next task. It usually takes about 21 days to develop a new habit or routine, so give yourself time and be gentle with yourself.

…as much as I dislike the fact that you are asking yahoo-answers for an AP Essay….I’ll help you, my approach would be through stem-cell, maybe grow a healthy pancreas and have a transplant it in, and irradiate your immune system and transplant bone marrow

Answer by Jason G
I was diagnosed with type 2 in October of last year, and I think I had it a long time before I did something about it. First you are thirsty all the time, and then of course, you have to pee all the time. I would be fine during the day and then just feel miserable for no apparent reason, although now, it was because my blood glucose was either really too high or way too low. But get a blood test from your doctor, and have him run the hemaglobin A1 test, it will tell you real quick if you have diabetes or not. It is basically a 3 month history of your blood-glucose level. Most non diabetics are arounf 6 – 6.5, mine was 13! It means my blood glucose level had been over 300 for months which is really dangerous. I am now controling diabetes with just diet and exercise and feeling a lot better. GOOD LUCK! Don’t take diabetes lightly, it can be a really bad disease.

Hey there! I am in the same boat as you. I also have hypothyroidism and type ONE. While weight loss has been excruciatingly hard, I can offer some tips that I have been doing that have helped me slowly but surely get on the fast track to losing some weight.

1. Take a multivitamin: Our bodies are always fighting off so much. If you take a vitamin, you will ensure that your body will be getting the vitamins and minerals it needs to fight off infection and allow your body MORE energy to do other things, such as losing weight. Look for multivitamins that promote a health heart and strong bones, as well as a good immune system.

2. Count your calories: This is hard, but when there is a will, there is a way. Ever look on the nutrition facts of food and note the servings? Follow that! Record your total calories, fat, sodium, etc. Keep a journal and do this. I started out by just recording what I ate in a normal day, evaluating it (weaknesses: eat too big portions, not enough meat, too much bread/sugar, etc) and then seeing what I can do to improve it. Try to keep your calories to about 2,300 per day, and then whittle it down. I’m currently at 2,245 at the most per day, and I’m noting a change in my energy.

3. EXERCISE: Speaking of energy, hypothyroidism simply kills your metabolism with an AK-47. RIght here, you just need a little more willpower. Think of living longer. At least that’s what I do. Don’t use elevators: instead, use the stairs. Walk a little more than you need to. Have Nintendo Wii? Do WiiFit. It works out muscles you never thought you could work out! Walk around your neighborhood every day. Go to a track at a school and walk the curves and jog the straights for thirty minutes to an hour. I totally understand taht your energy will deter you from doing this, but even a little effort should help.

4. Stay happy! SOmething you love to do that doesn’t compromise your health or well being? Indulge in it! I like to draw and sew among other things. If you keep your feelings and personality up, then you can do all i have listed above and more.

5. Go to sleep on time. Yes this is very important. Your sleep helps regulate SO much.

While ALL are important, the integral plan is to choose a method and STICK WITH IT! Watch your portions, and work out every day for at least thirty minutes. Take that vitamin, get some sleep, and remember to do something you enjoy.

From one hypobetes dealer to another, I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!

And a last note: I’ve been doing this very method for the past week and a half, and I lost four pounds. Just keep going, and with a little patience you’ll get there!

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.

any of them really

think first of their key concepts and how they might raise the kinds of questions you want to apply to the issue

1.symbolic Interractionism
Its key concepts include:
the looking glass self, impression management, social construction of reality, stigma, self- fulfilling prophecy, the role playing model of social interraction, back stage -front stage behaviour(especially of professionals eg doctors, nurses or patients)

2. conflict theory
concepts:
power relations,
discourses of power ie the way that some institutions eg medicine become powerful instituions from which major discourses of deviance are generated,
the three faces of power especially the second face of power- being able to gets one’s issue onto the agenda for discussion, the lack of resources for the non profit making public health sector, appropriation of health resources eg medicines

Feminist version of conflict theory:
the gendered nature of the devaluing of the ‘non perfect’ body.;
the unpaid work of caring for the long term ill,

3. Functional concepts:
Each stage in the history of society has institutions that are particularly functional for that stage. Religion was one of the major instiutions maintaing social order and social cohesion in feudal agricultural communities . In modern urban industrial, and now consumerist societies, what functions does the institution of health and medicine play. How does it adaapt to new circumstances” How do specific new modern forms of ill health or disease affect the general society? How do people play their specific roles as patients/doctors/nurses when dealing with diabetes?

Being over weight does not mean that you get diabetes it simply improves the chances. Its a combination of health issues and your history. I don’t know kilos sorry! so i can’t tell how over weight you are but Its not simply due to being overweight in your case. In most cases its not one factor. smoking, stress and low exercise brings you into a higher risk.
