What else besides diabetes would cause glucose to show up in urinalysis?

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

S asked:


My doc used urinalysis to diagnose a urinary tract infection and she mentioned that glucose was also present. I will go back for blood tests. I do have a family history of diabetes. So I borrowed my father’s glucose meter and tested my blood –glucose level was only 99, which is not in the diabetic range.

The Effect of Caffeine and Diabetes

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Jack Stanley asked:


Diabetes is a very common disease affecting children and adults around the world, but there are still many mysteries and debates on diabetes treatment. For example, the jury is still on the correlation between caffeine and diabetes.

In Japan, researchers have argued that these caffeine in the form of coffee or green tea May reduce the risk of diabetes. Medical experts, on the other hand, claim that caffeine may pose a higher risk for diabetes. A study conducted on participants aged 40 to 65 who drank black, green and oolong tea have shown that alcohol consumption at least three cups or more of these caffeine drinks a day could be result in a reduction of 33 per cent of their risk of diabetes. Other substances in coffee, however, may have negative effects on the metabolism of the body, creating other health problems. Modern research suggests that it is desirable to avoid caffeine, in order to reduce the risk of diabetes.

Research conducted by a respected university medical center suggested that the consumption of alcohol and meals to caffeine would result in an increase in insulin and glucose levels of participants with type 2 diabetes. Insulin is a natural component in the body that helps convert glucose into energy. A person with diabetes that caffeine drinks with a meal May suffer from a metabolic hindered. Participants who fasted during the study showed no significant change in their insulin or glucose.

Diabetics know that it is important to lower blood sugar. A level can be easily updated by eating the right foods and exercising regularly. Now, these new medical discoveries suggest that the reduction or elimination of caffeine is another way to control diabetes.

When a patient suffers from diabetes, his body does not have the ability to control levels of sugar in the blood. Many patients are also confronted with the inability of the body to produce enough insulin. Others have a hormone that is resistant to insulin. All these patients should be concerned about the quantity of tea and coffee they ingest that caffeine has been shown to have a direct negative effect on the levels of insulin.

Caffeine also creates a chemical called alloxan. This generates free radicals is a known cause of diabetes, aging and other diseases. Alloxan poisons not only important to create insulin cells, but also causes damage to the pancreas and May ultimately lead to cancer of the pancreas. When we drink caffeine we allow our bodies to create more alloxan, thus increasing the risk of diabetes or developing or have a condition worse.

Eliminating caffeine is not quite easy. Caffeine is found in food and beverage throughout the world. Tea, coffee, chocolate, soft drinks and many supplements contain high levels of caffeine and, therefore, massive doses of deadly alloxan. The choice of drinks decaffeinated is not always the best solution, because they may also contain certain levels of caffeine. The best way to limit caffeine to control or prevent diabetes is to eliminate altogether.

Caffeine be used for a health problem reserved for elderly patients. Now, young people face the same dangers. The soft drink industry is, unfortunately, the marketing of “power drinks” with dangerously high levels of caffeine for consumers in the age 15-21 demographic. Some fruit juices and even bottled water is infused with caffeine, tea and even respected manufacturers produce “great power” that the teas are packed with caffeine.

Anyone interested in reducing the risk of developing diabetes, a condition of life or simply a healthier lifestyle should take steps to reduce or eliminate Caffeine.

Where can I find arguments against an approaching Type 1 diabetes cure?

Thursday, June 24th, 2010
diabetes
Matt P asked:


I’m researching the possibility of cure for Type 1 diabetes, and my argument is that there will be a cure in the near future, if funding improves and if beta cell and immune research continues. This is for my AP research paper, and no, I’m not making others write it. Suprisingly, I can’t find a sufficient article arguing that a diabetes cure WON’T come soon, so i’m simply asking, does anyone know where I can find one? Any tips or sites are helpful, thank you!

I am doing a presentation on diabetes and I need to keep my audience entertained and informed.
What activity could I do to make a presentation about diabetes fun. I already have all the information that I need but it just seems boring especially for a bunch of 17-19 year olds. Can anyone help me? My presentation revolves around teen and adult diabetes if that helps.

DigiDude001 asked:


  Welcome To Shop Them All’s Diabetic Mall. We are here for your Good Health. You will find over 10,000 of hard to find as well as all the Latest Products at the best prices on the net. We also offer Articles, News and Information for the Maintenance, Treatment and Curing of Type 1 & 2 Diabetes. The Diabetic Mall covers both the Medical and Holistic Approaches for Treatment and Living with Diabetes.

  

   The International Diabetes Federation recently published findings revealing that in 2007, the country with the largest numbers of people with diabetes is India (41 million), followed by China (40 million), the United States (24 million), Russia (10 million) and Germany (8 million). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predict that this Disabling Disease will Double by 2050.

  

   Some other alarming diabetes statistics include the fact that there is one person in the world dying of diabetes every ten seconds. Also, there will be two new diabetic cases in the world being identified every ten seconds. And, what’s worse, these very same diabetes statistics tell us that by the year 2025, there will be as many as seven million new diabetic cases in the world. Another frightening statistic is that More than 5 million of the 24 million Americans who have diabetes don’t know it.

  

   Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With Type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood.

  

   Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.

  

   The symptoms can be some or all of the following; blurred vision; feelings of irritability; severe fatigue; unexpected weight loss; feelings of extreme hunger; an excessive thirst; a frequent desire to urinate, often during the night; irritation of the skin in the genital area and the slower than normal healing of superficial wounds.

  

   With all of this in mind… We have made this site for you, the Diabetic and the Potential Diabetic.  We have gone to great length to put together a site where all can come to Shop for all your Diabetic Needs, Learn about the Disease and the Treatments Available, Get Tested if you are experiencing symptoms as well as to create community, make new friends living the Diabetic Life. A place where all can share their knowledge, experiences and information. Some content which we have researched and added to The Mall is our Diabetes Information Link Page, Our My Fellow Diabetic Forum and the Diabetic Mall Blog where Fellow Diabetics can Communicate and Share what is working and what is not working for them. This is more then just a Forum and a Blog, it is an Online Diabetic Community where all can come together…

  

   Having and Living with Diabetes is a Lifestyle in itself… Always Remember… You Are Not Alone… And the Diabetic Mall is here for you… Thanks Much… Be Healthy and Make It A Great Life, You Deserve It!
