Long lasting high blood glucose levels in diabetes patients, the so-called 'hypers' are more harmful than expected. A research done by neuropsychologist Alette Wessels of the VU medical center in Amsterdam shows that “hypers” can lead to permanent damage in the brain. Until recently it was assumed that especially the low glucose levels could lead to brain damage.

Diabetes type 2 patients who actively control their blood sugar level themselves have a 50 percent less chance to die of their disease. They also have a 30 percent less chance of amputations and complications like blindness and heart- and kidney failure.
This is the outcome of a big epidemiologic research by the German Diabetes Center in Dusseldorf.

There are a lot of things that traditional medical science can do about diabetes and it is extremely important to get the basic treatment from regular working doctors. But there are great additional treatments to be found via the alternative
treatment forms. For instance in chronic diabetes occurring pain at the feet, the so called diabetic neuropathy, can be treated with certain forms of
e that can be used as pain relief treatment, and with certain supplements nutrition can be improved to fight diabetes and help keeping a more balanced diet.

Sugar used to be banned for people with diabetes. Already in the seventies it has been discovered that sugar does not have to be forbidden, but there are still misunderstandings. This is because there are many factors that play a role in diabetes and sugar itself is not the only source of food that affects the blood sugar levels.

Eating out is something that is normal in our lives, if it is a business meeting over diner, a fast-food meal with the children or a neighborhood barbecue. We eat out when we don't feel like cooking, when we want a different taste and because it is nice to enjoy a nice atmosphere in a restaurant or a nice meal without having to wash the dishes afterwards. But is it healthy?
Some restaurants have food low in cholesterol, fat, and sodium, and higher in fiber on their menu. A lot of restaurants offer sweeteners and diet drinks, low-fat salad dressing, low-fat milk, and salt substitutes. It is not hard to find baked or broiled food, whole-grain breads, salads, fish and vegetables.
Many restaurants have food that is healthy. You should ask the waiter for calorie and fat information on dishes on the menu. Chefs can make low-fat entrees using lean cuts of meat. Asking for skinless chicken or no butter on a certain dish is also possible. At some restaurants you can ask for smaller portions for less money.

There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. We don't know yet how to prevent type 1 diabetes. First we need to know the cause of type 1 diabetes. The basis for it is due to a genetic susceptibility, however if the person will get diabetes, depends on many different factors together.
Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed in a large number of cases by healthy living. People with diabetes in their family can also reduce their chance by 50%.

There are different kinds of diabetes, each of them with their own causes and course. Of all people with diabetes, more than 85 percent have type 2 diabetes, and less than 15 percent have type 1 diabetes. Pregnancy diabetes occurs in 1 on 20 pregnancies. This is (usually) a temporary form of diabetes. Besides this, there are sorts of diabetes that look like type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but are different slightly, like MODY and LADA.

It is very important for diabetics to have a meal plan. This is a scheme that tells them what kind of food they are allowed to eat and how much of it. This should fit your eating habits and daily routine. If it is followed, your blood sugar and pressure will improve, as will your cholesterol numbers. A good meal plan can help you loose weight or keep your existing one.

It seems that many people confuse between T1 and T2 diabetes, so I'll do my best to explain the difference.
People who suffer from Type 1 diabetes (also knows as T1 diabetes), do not produce enough insulin, or don't produce insulin at all, and as a result have problems in using the carbs they eat. Such people must inject insulin in order to keep themselves a live.

I just found out today that I have Type II Diabetes. I'm 32 years old.
It didn't come as a surprise. I had been feeling the symptoms for the last six months but was in denial and as a college student, I don't have health insurance, so I didn't go to the doctor.
Finally, a condition developed that I couldn't ignore. The blood test was run and my glucose level was 260.

Having diabetes is hard enough, not having energy to work out is even worse. So what do i do i cant eat, drink any thing with sugar i told myself what am i going to do to get more energy?

Hello everyone. I am new to this site and have a question for you. I have had my ENDOCRINOLOGIST for 14 years now. I am 29 years old, went into a coma when I was 15, (2,450 blood glucose level, (worlds record I was told)), and he saved my life. I have been with him ever since. But my A1C seems to be high now and he didn't suggest any changes. I am curious as to what you people think. To me havi

Hi everyone, I just found this forum and thought I'd give it a whirl. I am a parent of a teen with diabetes, who was diagnosed about five years ago and does pretty well with his life. We have got so much to be thankful for.{Emotions-0002006E.gif}

Did anyone else read the article in the National Post a few months back? Its about a break through they made in diabetes quite accidently. it envoles the pain receptors on the outside of the pancreas. These receptors are indirectly involved in the signalling process in which your pancreas releases insulin. Apparently they injected type one diabetic rats with a spice and it jump started these pain

Hi All,
I've had Type 1 diabetes for four years now, and am STILL having troubles properly regulating it with shots throughout the day. My Dr. suggested I try out the Medtronic Insulin pump. My husband and I are thinking of having a child in the next year or so and want my numbers to be tight, to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Question is, has anyone been on this system -- and, if so, how has

Just found this forum -- I'm very excited with all of the info here!
A little background on me... was diagnosed with type 1 about 4 years ago (my mother has type 2), but so far it hasn't really affected anything I've wanted to do. I love to be active and hit the gym 4-5 times a week to stay in shape and keep my circulation going well.
I haven't had any complications until recently: I ca

Hi! I am going to try and raise some money to donate to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF). I'm going to grow vegetables(pumpkins, green beans, tomatoes, ect.). I looked into doing one of those cookbook fundraisers, but I'm doing this individually and not with a big group. I was wondering if you had any other ideas for raising money. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

On www.goodsearch.com, you can raise money just by using the site! It is a search engine. You use it like any other search engine, but for every search, so much money will go to a certain group that you pick. I search for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF). The ASPCA(American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is also on there, along with The Elephant Sanctuary, St. Jud
