Does Glucotrol for type 2 diabetes cause weight gain?

Monday, October 12th, 2009


If you blood glucose levels are ok and you’re gaining weight than cut down a bit on the sulfanylurea since it’s making your pancreas make too much insulin which keeps you hungry .
(seriously!!)

Junk Food with cold drinks causes damage to liver and on set of Type 2 Diabetes in four weeks?

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Research done in University of St Louis Missouri on mice found to their astonishment that when mice were fed with fast food cold drinks and were not allowed any exercise, then with in four weeks they found damage to liver of mice. Also they found on set of Type 2 diabetes in these mice.
Fatty food when eaten stop production of insulin causing diabetes.

Are our children not being exposed to these diseases by eating junk food with Pespi and Coke culture.
What is duty of parents, government and NGOs to stop the sales gimmick of McDonalds culture in India?
Should such warnings to pasted in McDonalds stores like:

EATING JUNK FOOD IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH?

If cigerette packets can have such warnings, can it not be applied to Junk food of all kind?

How we can warn our consumers?

Can our medical fraternity not do research of similar nature and based on findings, take necessary action?

Will governement Health Ministry do any thing?

Your feed back and please tell everybody

It is our responsibility to take care of our children,guide them ,instill good eating habits,etc.children pattern themselves after they’re parents behavior.
I think all these fast-food places kind of brain wash our kids so it’s up to us,the parents to show healthy eating,working out,being body conscious.
educating our youth about obesity,heart disease and other conditions caused by junk food is now a necessity.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin.

Usually occurs gradually. Most people with type 2 diabetes are overweight at the time of diagnosis. However, the disease can also develop in lean people, especially the elderly.

Genetics play a large role in type 2 diabetes and family history is a risk factor. However, low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight (especially around the waist) significantly increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Other risk factors include:

- Race/ethnicity (African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans all have high rates of diabetes)
- Age greater than 45 years
- Previously identified impaired glucose tolerance by your doctor
- High blood pressure
- HDL cholesterol of less than 35 or triglyceride level of greater than 250
- History of gestational diabetes

What about dry skin and it’s relation to type 2 diabetes?

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

If one has type 2 diabetes will it cause dry skin problems?
What can one do to prevent mosquitos from biting and if bitten what can one use to prevent itching?

Although there is no direct connection on having dry skin and diabetes, there are a number of skin problems that can be associated with the disease. People with diabetes are more than twice likely to have fungal skin infections than those that are not diabetic. The number one reason is that fungi and bacteria would love to feed on skins with high glucose.
For mosquito problems, you can use insect-repelling creams and once bitten, use anti-inching creams(available in your local drugstores).

Can type 2 diabetes cause morning nose bleeds? If so what can we do ?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

My husband is 68 yrs. old, and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2001 and has NEVER had a nose bleed until a few days ago. It doesn’t bleed excessively. Maybe for a few minutes then it stops. We called his Dr., but they have to check it out first. So I was wondering if someone could give me some Professional info on what is causing these nose bleeds and what we could do in the mean time. He has to see his Dr. March 5. THANK YOU. We really would appreciate your help.

The most common causes of nosebleeds are: dry air in your house which can be cured by use of a humidifier in the bedroom where you sleep; high blood pressure; and taking blood thinners and your blood is now too thin according to your protime (blood test). Placing a little bacitracin into the nostril where the bleeding has occurred helps to keep the area moist.

Can type 2 diabetes cause you to have a stroke?

Monday, September 21st, 2009


Indirectly. Diabetes mellitus (type 1 OR type 2) is a major risk factor in atherosclerosis (which is damage to blood vessels). Blockages can develop in the arteries in the brain and stroke can occur. If you keep the blood sugar levels under good control, watch your diet, keep your cholesterol and blood pressure down, exercise, and avoid tobacco in any form, you can substantially reduce your risk of stroke with diabetes.

type 2 diabetes caused by taking atenolol, should I be coming off this drug?

Friday, September 18th, 2009

been on atenolol for a few yrs now, had a mild MI almost 2 yrs ago, had high BP before MI. Now worried about the diabetes scare

You really should address this to your cardiologist, if you have questions about your medications. However, there isn’t any correlation between your Atenolol and Type 2 diabetes. The Atenolol is a beta blocker, used to control the heart rate, prevent angina and lower blood pressure. Since you already had one MI, you already know you have coronary problems, and high blood pressure will kill you a lot faster than the Type 2 diabetes will. You can control and possibly eliminate the diabetes by watching your diet, eating right, losing weight and exercising. None of which would hurt the situation with your heart either, by the way. I also don’t suggest you get a wild hair and just quit taking the Atenolol either, since that can bring on heart attack number 2. Your diabetes is more likely due to some genetic predisposition, compounded by your lifestyle and diet. Change those, and you might be able to control or get rid of the diabetes. Get rid of the Atenolol and they may well be getting rid of you in a pine box. And don’t make your medication decisions based on polls taken here at YA, where everybody and anybody – trained and not, can type in an answer. It’s a lot smarter to talk to the cardiologist you hired to keep you alive a bit longer. He did go to school a long time to have the expertise, and you are paying him a lot for that opinion.
