Both my brother and his wife have Type II diabetes.  They had a baby 05/20/04.  He was 8 weeks early because she developed pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) and her kidneys began failing.  They had to induce labor to save her and my nephew.\n\nThey are both fine now.  He is into his terrible twos and not diabetic.

HI. My son was diagnosed with MODY 3.  You are right there is not a lot of comprehensive information.  What i can tell you is what my late husband experienced, but it's not pleasant.  My son is currenly 13 years old, I don't expect him to show symptoms until he is 16, but we keep him checked.  My husband was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 24, he had it unbeknownst to him since he was about 17, he did not do the greatest job taking care of it, he had multiple eye surgerys and was diagnosed with kidney failure at the age of 31.  He was on dialysis for 3 years and died on his 35th birthday. It is a very tragic tale, and I am going to do everything I can to keep my son from going that same route.  My late husband was not a drinker, not a smoker and not over weight, but his diabetes was very progressive and aggressive. All I ask is that you PLEASE take this very seriously and take care of yourself.  If you want to chat more on this..I'd love to hear from you.

A biopsy shows damage to your jejunum - part of the small intestine. It used to be done with a plastic tube through the stomach and into the intestine. More often than not now - they'll put a camera down and do the biopsy at the same time. You usually, get sedated for that. Biopsy used to be the way of diagnosis - usually with a gluten challenge. That meant giving you loads of gluten and see if it damaged your jejunum. Now they know the antibody that's produced in the blood by gluten ingestion so a diagnosis is often made on the basis of a blood test. Some doctors still prefer to do a blood test and a biopsy just to make sure. Check out the Coeliac UK website for information. We spell it Coeliac in the UK - elsewhere it's Celiac. Ask about the anti - endomysial antibody test. That's 90% accurate at least - and if they do it a few times - and it's positive a better and more pleasant way of doing a diagnosis than biopsy. Good luck with it. Incidentally, Celiac is hereditary - so they should ask about family history and tell you about passing it on to your children. Even nephews and nieces may have it.

Teh most common sorts of diabetes are quite different, have different causes, and only share (confusingly) complications. I'll take them one at a time. \n\n=================\nType 1\n\nType 1 at 5-10% of all diabetics in the developed world. It is an auto-immune disease, somewhat in the manner of some kinds of artritis or lupus. The susceptibility to it is inherited and is associated with some kinds of HLA antigens. But it also seems to require, in most cases, an environmental trigger as well. This is most often an infection: one of the Coxsackie viruses, or German measles, for instance. it is the infection which triggers the immune system to attack and destory the Beta cells in the pancreas. it is often seen in children and so has been called juvenile diabetes.  \n\n============\nType 2\n\nType 2 has a very different origin. It is much more stongly inherited, and yet it is also associated with environmental conditions. About 2/3 of all cells in the body require insluin to absorb glucose (ie, fuel) fromthe blood. Type 2 is characterized by resistance to this insulin action to a greater or lesser degree. It often starts slow, with only somewhat elevated blood sugar levels, and sometimes progresses from there. It's most common in adults (hence the obsolete term, 'adult-onset diabetes'), and it's associated with overweight (hence the obsolete term, 'obesity related diabetes'). It is clear that environment is an important part of the causation since the 'Western diet' is clearly indicated. What exactly it is not clear. Most Type 2 diabetes can be adequately controlled by diet, exercies, and sometimes oral medications. A portion of type 2 diabetics eventually fail to respond to the oral medications, and they generally end up using insulin. \n\nGestational diabetes seems to be the result of the hormonal changes of pregnancy combined with an inheritied tendency toward Type 2. It generally ends with the pregnancy, though a portion of the women go on to develop Type 2 later on.

Only with adult onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. If you got it when you were a kid, forget about it, you'll need medicine for the rest of your life. \nBut if you developed it at an older age, it is most likey type 2, and can be controlled with strict diet and exercise. Not definite, but it is always worth a try. Here is a good diet I would suggest:\n\n\nFirst of all, (very important) don't eat ANY type of meat . This includes any soups that have a beef/chicken stock as the base. So buy vegetarian vegetable soup...not just vegetable soup, and eat it for supper(Campbell's (don't buy generic brand..its bland). This also includes milk. No cow milk. Buy some Soy milk. I promise it is delicious..I use 8th continent original soymilk. And this is 100% healthier than cow milk. This will help you alot. \n(no butter for a week!!, no ranch dressing, no sour cream...nothing of the sort...and try to lay off of the cheese unless it is soy cheese) \n\nSecond of all, no candy bars, chocolates, donuts with frosting center, cakes, ice cream....just go 1 week without sweets  \nI usually eat oatmeal for breakfast, and I either cut up fresh peaches, strawberries or even canned peaches and I don't need any sugar. \nFor a good snack in between I drink a mug of hot lemon water with honey added to sweeten. \n(*when feeling hungry, drinking a mug/cup of anything warm will ease your hungry tummy*) \nFor snacks when craving sweets: eat almonds, peanuts, soynuts, raisins, ovaltine mixed with soymilk is ok on this detox diet, drink a big cup of orange juice, eat fresh fruit, apples, oranges, strawberries, etc. \nEat vegetables and rice. Can buy frozen packages of broccolli, cauliflower, carrots, and raw type as well for snacks. \nGot a blender? Make smoothies with your new fruit selections, a natural, detoxing milkshake. Just don't use yogurt(which is cow milk based), >>>but add some soymilk, orange juice, bananas and strawberries for a shake that is out of this world!!!! \nI have always used this as my way to start exercising again. \n\n(tip: Slim Fast products have always helped me too(even though the shakes are cow-milk based). They have a meal bar called "fruit & nut bar" that is great. If i wake up and want to go for a jog or exercise, I take about 2-3 bites (don't eat whole bar before exercising) and it helps me feel not-sluggish during my workout.) \n\nMajor tip: anyone over the age of 20 should be taking a daily vitamin. I HIGHLY suggest buying some multivitamins (i use a woman's weight smart MV), Super B-Complex, and Vitamin C. These 3 are a must-take-each-day and you'll see an even better change in a couple of weeks. If I am feeling bloated, I buy diurex water pills and take for 5-7 days as well.\n\nFollow this strictly and you WILL see a change & feel better, that is a promise!\n\n(warning: if you have any cardiovascular problems at all do Not use water pills unless it is ok'd by your doctor, as it will interfere with your High BP medicine; and as always, if you are on any medications discuss any dramatic new diet choices with your doctor as it could affect the purpose of your medicine.)

You'll get various opinions from different individuals, frankly...  You might check the American Diabetes Association for their guidelines--they are what most of us try to run by.\n\nOn the whole, ideally your fasting sugar should be 110 or less, and I like to see people in the 80-100 range most of the time.  I'm willing to settle for anything less than 125, though.  As for the postprandial sugars, I focus on the 2-hours-after-eating (or 2 hour postprandial) sugars.  Prefer to see them below 140 mg/dl; I'll tolerate them less than 160.\n\nIncreasingly, however, I tend to focus on the Hemoglobin A1c value.  That's a measure of the proportion (expressed as a percentage) of the hemoglobin that is tagged with a glucose molecule at a particular site (the 1c site on Hemoglobin A.  DUH!)  Dr. RIchard Guthrie, a decade or two ago, showed that the Hemoglobin A1c correlated very much better with the rapidity of the diabetic damage being caused than anything reasonable you could do with individual sugar readings, or with aggregate calculations of the readings over a couple of months time.\n\nDO NOT take this to indicate that the fasting and postprandial sugars are not of use; they certainly are, but they are of greatest use in recognizing the presence of complicating illnesses (on the whole, you can look at the sugars of a diabetic and use them to get a handle on the presence of an infectious process just like you can use the body temperature), and the presence of patterns in the sugars to guide in the alteration of long vs. short acting insulins to control the sugar.\n\nOK, so I'm longwinded.  I knew that.  Hope this gives you some useful insight!

The link I'm providing is a study titled, "Type 2 Diabetes: An Inflammatory Disease Process? Clinical and Physiological Links Between Diabetes and Heart Disease." \n\n"In a large seven year study, for which over 12,000 patients were screened, cardiovascular risk was demonstrated to be associated with an elevated white blood cell count (WBC) ..."\n\nI'm not a doctor, nor am I suggesting you may have heart disease, but the study is an interesting read, nonetheless.\n\nI hope you find the answer you're looking for.  Good luck!

There are several ways to do it.. \n\nYou can perform an ELISA (Enzyme linked immunosorbant assay) this technique involves the use of antibodies specific for the cytokine you wish to measure and then a secondary antibody to bind to the antibody against the cytokine which is tagged with an enzyme that can change colour when a certain chemical is added allowing the whole reaction to be quantified and measure the amount of cytokine being produced.\n\nAnother method to use is reverse transcriptase PCR - this measures the amount of mRNA made of the cytokine of interest.. However controversy exists over this method as it is not known if the amount of mRNA present is truly indicative of the amount of protein made.\n\nHope this helps..\n\nKatie

Type I (juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes): The reason for type I diabetes is due to pancreas unability to produce insulin. This type of diabetes is uncommon but severe in nature. It usually starts in childhood or adolescence and is a result of a genetic problem. \n\nType II (Type 2) (non insulin dependent diabetes or adult onset diabetes): Type II (Type 2) diabetes is a result of body tissues becoming resistant to insulin. It generally happens to people above 40 years of age and is usually hereditary.

In some cases, obesity. Some cases it's just inherited. Depends on the type of Diabetes.

On a world-wide, standard-case scale, a human's blood stream should consist of roughly 10% glucose (or a bgl of 100). But this is if everyone were the same - it's a much better idea to talk to an endochronologist with a familiarty with your children's medical history. Best of luck! (I too am a diabetic.)

Type 1 Diabetes: Also called juvenile diabetes or early-onset diabetes. Seen in young adults. Thought to be due to destruction of beta-islet cells of pancreas(that secrete insulin) by an immune mediated process. Only treatment is life-long insulin supplementation.\n\nType 2 Diabetes: Usually seen in middle-aged obese people. It is thought to occur due to resistance of body cells to the action of insulin. It is treated by drugs that increase the senstiveness of body cells to action of insulin or increase the release of insulin from pancreas. May need insulin supplementation as disease progresses/worsens. It can be prevented by maintaing proper body weight; taking less of high-calorie food-stuffs; exercising regularly.

Diabetes comes in 2 forms....Type 1 which is insulin dependant and occurs in young children and cant be cured.......Its caused by the bodies ammune system attacking the part of the pancreas that makes insulin......The symtoms are thirst, excessive drinking due to the dody trying to rid itself of sugar, lethargy and a general feeling of unwellness......\n\nType 2 diabetes is usually due to incorrect lifestyle and is known to be hereditary......Lack of excercise, bad diet and weight gain are the general cause of this disease......Treatment maybe a change in diet and excercise, some people require tablets and in certain cases may require insulin injections......But if managed properly this is only required in extreme circumstances.....\n\nAs the mother of a child with type 1 diabetes and the relative of parents with type 2 diabetes, i hope this is helpful.....
