Understanding Hypoglycemia

Understanding Hypoglycemia

Anyone who takes insulin or other glucose-lowering medications, either alone or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, is prone to hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is less common among people with type 2 diabetes than among those with type 1, but it can be serious when it occurs. Blood sugar may fall abnormally low from too much insulin, too much exercise, too little food or carbohydrates, a missed or delayed meal, or a combination of these factors. As you pursue near-normal blood sugar control more aggressively, your risk for hypoglycemia increases.

It’s important that people with diabetes, and those who live and work with them, learn to recognize and understand hypoglycemia so it can be prevented and treated before it becomes a life-threatening crisis.

 

Symptoms of Hypoglycemia

  • nervousness
  • weakness
  • hunger
  • lightheadedness or dizziness
  • trembling
  • sweating
  • rapid heartbeat
  • feeling cold and clammy
  • irritability
  • confusion
  • drowsiness
  • slurred speech
  • double vision
  • in severe cases, loss of consciousness, seizures, and even coma

About 4 weeks ago my husband came home with a nasty looking spider bite on his arm.

 

Then a week later I developed what I thought was a boil, then after it turned a very dark purple and had a fever in it plus hit my limp node I went into the doctor,

She told the nurse to culture the fluid and told me sweetie you have MRSA.

"Whats that", I asked.

 

We talked for about 30 Min's during the conversation she told me 8 out of 10 doctors will not realize what there dealing with till about the 3rd outbreak.

 

mrsa-nora-2004.jpg It looks like a really nasty spider bite and many think that's all it is, a non diabetic or a non person with a compromised immune system it will heal fast but then they will have another out break and toss it up to another bite.

 

It is highly contagious and the whole family must be treated for it at the same time.

 

And you must bleach everything you can plus be-careful handling the infected clothing, do not drink from the same glass, or eat from the same dishes.


Wear rubber gloves when doing laundry.

 

Someone at my husbands job was infected came to work and then he brought it home.

What is MRSA?

Understanding MRSA (Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus)

 

Being a diabetic we are at a higher risk reason being if the abscess blows inward it can go into the bone and cause your limb to have to be amputated, it can hit your heart and kill you, in the lungs it can cause pneumonia and  you can be a carrier and not know your bringing it to others.

CBS on preventing pre diabetese and the progression to type 2 diabetes
User Rating: / 0

Tonight on The CBS evening news a story was aired on type 2 diabetes and diet.

 

Read the text of the story:

 

We have been talking about this for three years now. It is time there is finally an effort to raise public awarenes. We applaude CBS for speaking out but still there was not detail about what a healthy diet is and how to make the changes. This site is all about how to achieve a healthy diete and if you already have type 2 diabetyes, how to control it with diet.

CBS) Nearly 24 million Americans are afflicted with diabetes, up more than 3 million in approximately two years. That adds up to more than $170 billion in yearly healthcare costs.

But for the first time, doctors have a game plan for how to help the 57 million Americans who are dangerously close to developing the disease, reports CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jon Lapook.

New guidelines emphasize diet, exercise and weight-loss medication.

"There is a whole group of patients that are in a so-called gray area of pre-diabetes where they're not perfectly normal, but they also are not frankly diabetic and those are the patients who we really need to focus on," said Dr. Jacqueline Salas Spiegel of New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.

That pre-diabetes gray zone includes patients with a fasting blood sugar level of 100 to 125. Fasting blood sugar below 100 is considered normal; over 125 is diabetic.

About one-third of pre-diabetics will develop full-blown type 2 diabetes. And that's not the only danger.

"It can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. That means heart attacks, strokes, as well as … circulatory problems," said Spiegel.

It may be really hard to get people to focus on something that hasn't happened to them yet. But diet and exercise really do work, reducing the progression of pre-diabetes to diabetes by 60 percent.
