What are the Symptoms of diabetes?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

So lately I’ve been having a lot of abdominal pain, headache, body ache,nausea, constant urination and I’m staring to get concerned. Diabetes runs in my family, my grandmother died of it and all of my dad’s sisters have it. I don’t want to freak out, but should I call my doctor

Type 2 Diabetes, dehydration, weight loss. Shouldn't diabetes go away?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Okay, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. My brother passed away last June from Diabetic ketoacidosis. He was aware that he had diabetes, but wasn’t really educated the best about the disease, and thought he was keeping everything well-balanced. He changed his diet…cut out sweets, switched to diet pop, didn’t eat as much pastas and bread. He ate a lot of meat though, which he thought was okay. I mean, his whole diet was basically meat. That’s what made him sick at first, his triglycerides were sky high. Anyway, in about a year or two, he dropped over 100 pounds, so I’d say he probably weighed maybe 225-250 pounds when he passed away. He was pretty tall though, so he wasn’t huge by any means. We all thought he was doing great. Come to find out, the doctor (after my brother passed away) said that he lost that weight because he was dehydrated all the time. He was constantly drinking and going to the bathroom. Well, my question is…. If you lose weight, type 2 diabetes should go away…. so why didn’t his go away? He lost over 100 pounds, and it still took his life. Sorry to make this so long, but the reason I’m concerned is because I have type 2 diabetes, and I’m just starting that stage where I’m constantly thirsty and i’m going to the bathroom all the time, and I’ve lost 14 pounds within the past 2 or 3 weeks! I went to the doctor awhile ago and he put me on metformin. I’m scared though.

Good diabetes glucose monitor?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I was wondering what a convenient monitor for type 2 would be that I could purchase at a pharmacy like CVS, or Walgreens? Thanks a lot.

Throwing up with type 1 diabetes?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Ok I don’t want any negative comments on this. Occasionally i make myself throw up when I feel like i ate too much or i’m sick from something i ate because then i feel better. (there’s a lot of foods i’m allergic to so i don’t know what will make me really sick) I also have type 1 diabetes. Can making myself throw up effect my diabetes at all? I don’t do this too often just when i feel really sick. Could it cause ketones? Thankss!
