…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!

Eat a balanced diet, cut out alot of processed sugar, exercise. Type 2 diabetes is almost in every case preventable through a healthy life style. If you feel irritable don’t go for something sugary, eat something with alot of fiber like whole grain bread or things with complex carbohydrates like potatoes, this raises your glucose levels slower and keeps them going longer

It depends. It’s not hereditary, it’s brought on by lifestyle. You just need to make sure you teach your son healthy eating habits. Part of that will be your husband eating healthily, since a lot of what they learn is by example.

ETA: You can pass on a genetic predisposition, but that’s different than being hereditary. It just means it has to be all that much more important for a proper diet and exercise.

Now that I have diabetes, will my children get it too?

You may have heard diabetes is genetic but genes are not the only risk factor for diabetes.

Lifestyle factors including obesity and physical inactivity leads to Type 2 diabetes. These risks coupled with a genetic predisposition are the unpleasant recipe for Type 2 diabetes.

Children as young as 4 years of age are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. If a child is obese and physically inactive, he or she may in fact be heading for diabetes. Talk with your doctor or diabetes educator about a plan that is a healthy lifestyle for your entire family. The best successes for weight loss and diabetes control occurs when an entire family begins eating healthy, focusing on weight loss, and exercising.

A recent study examined prevention of diabetes among those with glucose intolerance (those with elevated blood sugars but blood sugars are not high enough to meet the diabetes diagnosis criteria). The study found risk for diabetes was reduced by 58% by those who did the following:

exercised 30 minutes daily, 5 days per week
lost of 5-7% total body weight if overweight (an example of this might be a 200 lb male losing 5% of his body weight = 10 pound weight loss)
followed a healthy meal plan.
There are many ways to decrease risk even if you are genetically predisposed for diabetes. If your child is overweight or inactive, contact their doctor. Ask about how to help your child reach a healthy body weight. Reduce risk of diabetes for your entire family.

Answer by Nathaniel’s Mommy
15 grams of carbs is equal to 1 serving of carbs on a diabetic diet exchange.

When I was pregnant and had GD, my dietitian allowed me 1 serving of carbs for b’fast, and two for lunch and two for dinner. Select health carbs, whole grain…

Hope that helps.

s a,
Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the body’s immune system destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This type of diabetes, also known as juvenile-onset diabetes, accounts for 10-15% of all people with the disease. It can appear at any age, although commonly under 40, and is triggered by environmental factors such as viruses, diet or chemicals in people genetically predisposed. People with type 1 diabetes must inject themselves with insulin several times a day and follow a careful diet and exercise plan.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, affecting 85-90% of all people with the disease. This type of diabetes, also known as late-onset diabetes, is characterised by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. The disease is strongly genetic in origin but lifestyle factors such as excess weight, inactivity, high blood pressure and poor diet are major risk factors for its development. Symptoms may not show for many years and, by the time they appear, significant problems may have developed. People with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease. Type 2 diabetes may be treated by dietary changes, exercise and/or tablets. Insulin injections may later be required.
