Need to stay away from sugar, carbohydrates, etc. Everything in moderation and need to always keep track of your sugar. This is not a death sentence if you keep track of things.

Question by crime_scene223: Is diabetes a contributing factor if someone is having a hard time swallowing?
I know someone that occasionally has problems swallowing when he is eating. It makes him feel like he is about to choke, as the food doesn’t go down. He is a diabetic. Is diabetes a contributing factor if someone is having a hard time swallowing?

No. Having scar tissue or a stricture in the esophagus would be the cause of this. He could schedule an endoscopy to have this checked out and if there is a narrowed area, they can stretch it back out and he won’t have probably again for a while (this has a tendency to come back).

Question by Oranges Boranges: What happens if someone with bad diabetes refuses to amputate a dead foot?
If someone that has sugar diabetes does not amputate a bad foot… Can it kill them?
They are saying his heart rate is only 20% and is too weak to preform an amputation.

Question by the_creative_dancer: What happens when someone has diabetes and they drink?
I have a friend that drinks alcohol (not the hard stuff) but he has diabetes. I don’t know what to do because I’m really close to this friend. He always reacts the worst to me out of everyone only when he drinks. I just need some help on how to deal with him and what happens to him with it? Plus how can I get him to stop drinking. Oh I should add that he drinks a 12 pack of Natural Light.

Answer by Jimmy Changa
Alcohol has the ability to both increase and decrease blood sugars. In regards to the former, this is because of the high sugar content of alcoholic drinks. With respect to the latter, alcohol chronically can impair the bodies store of sugar, and is often a substitute for real food. Moreover, it can impair ones ability to recognise low blood sugars. However, in a well controlled diabetic, alcohol is not contraindicated, and should be enjoyed with the above provisos.
