when did you get diabetes?
539369
I was diagnosed at age 5 after being sick for a while. A lot of the time I feel like it pretty much ruined my life. I was never allowed to do anything as a kid --go outside, learn to ride a bike, do martial arts, go over to friends' houses, anything. I've tried to make up for all the things I missed, but that doesn't really work. I was excluded from a lot of things in school, like class parties where my teachers made me sit in a corner and the other kids made fun of me. As I got older, I figured out it was better to keep having diabetes a secret, whenever possible. That works a lot better than expecting people to accept a strange disease that they have no capacity to understand.

The term diabetes (Greek: διαβήτης) was coined by Aretaeus of Cappadocia. It is derived from the Greek διαβαίνειν, diabaínein that literally means "passing through," or "siphon," a reference to one of diabetes' major symptoms—excessive urine production. \n\nIn 1675 Thomas Willis added mellitus from the Latin word for honey (mel in the sense of "honey sweet") when he noted that the blood and urine of a diabetic has a sweet taste. This had been noticed long before in ancient times by the Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians, and Indians.\n\n In 1776 Matthew Dobson confirmed the sweet taste was because of an excess of a kind of sugar in the urine and blood of people with diabetes

yes it is possible. diabetes is when the body cannot regulate blood glucose level automatically.diabetes is hereditary although they do have a chance of not getting it. it would be a good thing to talk to your doctor and see what age you should get them tested at. people that continuously drink and drink more than normal is a sign that they may have diabetes. search through the link i have given you to find out more.

If you control your diabetes satisfctorily , with diet, exercise, avoiding stress for the body and mind , changed your lifestyle as for the diabetes, having a good sleep for 7 hours and in the afternoon relaxation for your body and mind for half an hour and if you  prevent any infection,  your life expectancy will be as normal as for others.

No, I don't have it.  However, my grandmother does and she doesn't keep it controlled as well as she should so she has some complications.  My mother is a type II diabetic (non-insulin dependent.  Many people live healthy normal lives with diabetes as long as they watch what they eat and keep their blood sugars in a controlled range (they must check their blood glucose with the fingerstick blood test often!)!\nGood luck!

i am a type 1 diabetic since the age of 4...i developed hypo thyroidism also, but only after 20 years...there is some belief that type 1 diabetes develops after having an illness because your immune system has been figting to rid the body of the infection and somewhere the wires got crossed and it attacked the pancreas too...but yes, those are both auto immune diseases..

i got typhoid when i went over to india and had this colossal pain in my stomach and because i was living in a little village, the local doctor was a hack. i had about twenty injections in my arm at one point, and i was throwing up everything that i was eating so they had to put me on a glucose drip. it took me two months to get better and when i did i looked like a skeleton.

Yes, it's called Double Diabetes and it's getting more common.  The diagnosis will remain type 1 however, but oral meds may need to be added.

That's not good.  It's one of the main warning signs of diabetes.  Go to your doctor and get tested.  If it's diabetes, you can pretty much control it by doing the right things.  If you DON'T do these things you are in for major health problems and you will die young.

I was the only diabetic in my school as well. I got it when I was 10, in 4th grade. Now I am 26 years old and a law student. I found that though some people put me down and told me that I wouldn't be able to do anything because of my diabetes I could succeed in anything. I could do anything the other kids did. I made it a point to tell my class about my diabetes, how it is cared for, etc. It helped a lot of people to be more understanding and more accepting of me. My friends were a wonderful support to me. I wish you the best.

Check your bloodsugar 4 to 6 times a day, OR MORE. Get on an eating plan with your doctor or dietician. Learn to use "sliding scale" insulin. Everyone can do it and it's very effective. I've been diabetic for 16 years and my hemoglobin A1c has always been between 5.0 to 5.7, with the last being 5.4 It IS possible to be in perfect control. Talk to your physician about it, and if your physician is unwilling GET A NEW DOCTOR!!!

A normal blood sugar level is between 80 - 100.  You should be checked out by an endocrinologist (specialist-Diabetes).\nA A1C hemoglobin blood test should be run...that will tell the doctor your blood sugars averages for the last 3 months.\nWATCH YOUR CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE...EX: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc.. Good luck
