Diabetes: Not sure what your symptoms are, but a medical evaluation by your pcp, with lab workup, will provide better answers.

Question 2

what infections causes diabetes type 2?

Accepted Answer

: They don't. Juvenile diabetes or type 1, is cited as an auto-immune problem after certain gut viruses. The  antibodies kill off the insulin producing cells. Type 2 does not have that clear link. Type 2 patients still make their own insulin, just not enough for their needs.

Question 3

how does overeating cause diabetes type 2?

Accepted Answer

Insulin resistance: There are actually many pathophysiological phenomena that lead to the development of type 2 diabetes as it relates to overeating.  Among the most important are the development of Insulin resistance in the context of obesity and changes in the health of beta cells in the pancreas that make Insulin in the context of a less than healthy diet.  When Insulin resistance is high then so is blood glucose.

Question 8

when to check my heart if i have diabetes type 2?

Accepted Answer

Heart testing: A baseline EKG can be done anytime. Unless you have symptoms raising the suspicion of coronary artery disease, I don't recommend a treadmill stress test until age 40. However there are no hard and fast recommendations regarding your question. I would  abide by the advice of your own physician when it comes to issues like this.

Question 9

will my kidneys fail due to my diabetes type 2 disease?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: If your diabetes and other medical conditions (like high blood pressure) are adequately controlled, your kidneys should not fail.  However, both diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure) are the most common causes of kidney failure in adults but it is not inevitable that diabetics will develop failing kidneys.  The key is diet, exercise, blood sugar control, and medication adherence.

Question 10

can a person with diabetes type 2 eat honey and stevia?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But honey will make your blood sugar soar and make you hungry. It is not good for you. It has a lot of calories too. Stevia is a natural sweetener that will quench that desire for a sweetener, no calories and not make you hungry or desire more sweets! stevia in the raw has sugar, beware!
