Question

I eat a lot of food and i workout.Everyday i eat two boxes of bars & lunch and a sandwich @ school. Any healthy alternatives? Worried about diabetes

Answer 1

Diabetes: Usually type 2 diabetes appears in a middle age person who are unfit and overweight. It is unlikely to appear in a young healthy fit person, but it is also not impossible.

Answer 2

Triad: Polydipsia, polyuria and weight loss despite polyphagia. High blood sugars cause excessive urination and resulting excessive thirst. As the body cannot use glucose properly, the children usually lose weight despite eating more. In complicated cases diabetic ketoacidosis and coma may result.

Answer 3

Excess thirst, : Constant frequent urination, constant eating, lethargy and potentially death.

Answer 4

See Below: Type 2 diabetes can cause serious health complications. That's why is very important to know how to spot type 2 diabetes symptoms. Most common symptoms are :increased thirst increased hunger (especially after eating), dry mouth, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss (even though you are eating and feel hungry), fatigue (weak, tired feeling), blurred vision headaches, loss of consciousness.

Answer 5

Urination in excess: Excess urination, eating, drinking water are the hall marks symptoms. Complications as a result of longstanding diabetes are many. Fungal infections, recurrent infections, symptoms of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, visual problems, numbness of extremities, heart attacks, gangrene of extremities, peripheral vascular disease etc.

Answer 6

Multiple: There are plenty of symptoms including increased thirst, urination, and appetite. There can be increased fatigue, visual changes, more yeast infections, and nervous system symptoms. However, these symptoms are variable from person to person, so the best "symptom" if you will is elevated blood sugar levels. This is an easy test to perform so would recommend getting that done.

Answer 7

None for ~2 Decades: Type 2 DM typically develops slowly over decades without symptoms. Insulin resistance 1st, pancreas ↑es insulin+amylin output (to ≥5x’s healthy) & keeps BG normal til Beta cells sick & dye, then sugar starts ↑ing. NMR lipoprotein test IR scale detect >10 yrs prior, optimal HbA1c ≤5.0%. Not called DM until BbA1c ≥6.5% years later. Sugar/carb intake & ↑body fat drive problem. http://goo.gl/XIpLFY

Answer 8

Obesity, family hx: A family history of diabetes is a major risk factor as is obesity, especially when the excess fat is distributed in the upper part of the body (waist rather than hips.) other risk factors include taking steroid medications (like prednisone).

Answer 9

Family history: Obesity, especially abdominal, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol level, and of course, getting older!

Answer 10

Sugars+BodyFat+Genes: For type ii: dietary sugar/cho ↑es endocrine system work: ↓glp1, ↓body response to insulin+amylin, ↑ed body fat, ↓ed red/endurance muscle mass (low exercise levels), ↑insulin+amylin production/release pancreas beta cells >↑beta cells failure, ↑glucagon & >250 snp genetic variants assoc. With dm are main drivers known to date. Low fat diet drives ↑dm. Study: nusi.Org, attia, taubes, lustig fatchance.

Answer 11

Type 1&2: Type 1 diabetes is where your body makes antibodies against the pancreas and you eventually stop making insulin. It usually presents in young children and teens. Type 2 diabetics make tons of Insulin but they jane an Insulin resistance problem and just keep making more insulin. The eventual problems like eyesight loss heart disease, loss of blood supply to legs, kidney disease are the same.

Answer 12

1 and 2: Type 1 is usually referred to as juvenile diabetes. It results from the pancreas not producing enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes results from our body developing Insulin resistance, preventing the body from using the Insulin and sugar it naturally has. Insulin resistance usually develops as a result of being overweight. It can develop in both adults and children.

Answer 13

Many: Blindness, heart disease, hardening of the arteries, renal failure, amputations to name a few. Most accelerated by poor control.

Answer 14

See below: Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to heart disease, heart attack, stroke, kidney disease/failure, peripheral vascular disease, numbness in legs, increased risk of infection, amputations of limbs, gastroparesis, impotence (new made-up term by the drug companies is erectile dysfunction), depression, liver disease.
