[MERGED] Diabetes

[Ellheym]

[BabyFATS]

This happened to me way back in 4th grade.
Sinamahan pa ito ng purple spots on my chin.
I went to St. Luke's para magpa-check up and they said
I had high blood sugar level and then they gave me shots.

I suggest you lay off on the sweets and get a medical check-up too.

[Ira]

If your pancreas is producing enough insulin, your sweet intake, no matter how excessive, shouldn't cause ants to get attracted to your urine. I suggest that you see an endocrinologist for workup for diabetes.

dad ko na-experience to.. yun pala, diabetic na sya...

balita ko pag diabetic, lalanggamin din daw yung mga damit mo.. hmm.. sobrang sweet naman ata nun?

tnx.

[healer]

search mo na lang sa net. Sa lecture namin kulang ang one hour to discuss the topic

[Ira]

You're kidding, right?

I suggest you just search the internet. The topic is very easy to find. Volumes of books have been written on this topic alone, and I'm not going to start writing another one.

[Bea19]

yes, your husband has the possibility of having diabetes, kasi nasa family history na...mas malakas ang genetics. he should regulary consult a doctor, especially a diabetes expert. i suggest that your husband should visit dr. antonio litonjua (clinic: makati med) --he is an expert in diabetes and currently the president of the philippine diabetes association. kapag natingnan ng maaga, mas madali ang management nito....

like doc ira posted, kahit sandamakmak na chocolates or sweets ang kainin mo, di lalanggamin ang urine mo kapag wala kang diabetes. go and see a doctor now, an endocrinologist and/or a diabetes expert (diabetologist).

good luck

... glucosuria yata todits...

teka, may nabunot uli ako sa world wide web....

from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/003581.htm

pakuha ka kaya lab test...
urine glucose spot test (dipstick), which is Urine glucose is usually measured as a "spot test" with a dipstick containing a color-sensitive pad. This pad is saturated with specific chemicals which react with glucose. The resulting color is indicative of the glucose concentration.

If a 24 hour urine sample is needed, your health care provider will instruct you, if necessary, to discontinue drugs that may interfere with the test.

On day 1, urinate into the toilet upon arising in the morning.
Collect all subsequent urine (in a special container) for the next 24 hours.
On day 2, urinate into the container in the morning upon arising.
Cap the container. Keep it in the refrigerator or a cool place during the collection period. Label the container with your name, the date, the time of completion, and return it as instructed.

Infant:
Thoroughly wash the area around the urethra. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end), and place it on your infant. For males, the entire penis can be placed in the bag and the adhesive attached to the skin. For females, the bag is placed over the labia. Place a diaper over the infant (bag and all). The infant should be checked frequently and the bag changed after the infant has urinated into the bag. For active infants, this procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can displace the bag, causing an inability to obtain the specimen. The urine is drained into the container for transport to the laboratory.

Deliver it to the laboratory or your health care provider as soon as possible upon completion.

The health care provider should be consulted if taking any drugs that may affect test results (see special considerations).

Normal values are as follows:

Random specimen -- negative
24 hour urine collection -- less than .3g/day
Note: g/day = grams per day

What abnormal results mean

Abnormal results producing greater-than-normal levels may indicate:

Benign low renal glucose threshold (the kidneys excrete glucose in the urine at a relatively low blood glucose level)
Cushing’s syndrome
Diabetes mellitus
Severe stress (for example, trauma or surgery)
Fanconi's syndrome


pero bago ka magtest, are you taking any drugs?

from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/003581.htm

Drugs that may increase urine glucose measurements include: aminosalicylic acid, cephalosporins, chloral hydrate, chloramphenicol, dextrothyroxine, diazoxide, diuretics (loop and thiazides), estrogens, isoniazid, levodopa, lithium, nafcillin, nalidixic acid, and nicotinic acid (large doses).

Drugs that may give false positive results with Clinitest, but not with Clinistix or Tes-tape, include: acetylsalicylic acid, aminosalicylic acid, ascorbic acid, cephalothin, chloral hydrate, nitrofurantoin, streptomycin, and sulfonamides.

Drugs that may give false negative results are ascorbic acid (Clinistix, Tes-tape), levodopa (Clinistix), and phenothiazines (Clinistix, Tes-tape).

important din siguro iconsider ang mga gamot na iniinom mo (if any) baka kasi sila rin ang reason. Pero pa-check ka nga sa endocrinologist gaya ng sabi ni Doc Ira for clear cut answers.

[mravel22]

urinalysis, fasting blood sugar, 2 hour post-prandial/oral glucose tolerance test will be helpful...

Duon sa una mong tanong.."Paano malalaman?..ang sintomas ng isang diabetes..ay napakababaw...sabi minsan ng iba ay dahilan sa edad mo...at sa totoo lang ang sintomas nito ay ang mga ito:
(a) Panunuyo ng lalamunan mo at mga labi. at mga lubha mong pagkauhaw.
(b) ang parati na lang na pag-ihi( lalo na kung ito ay nangyayari sa gabi.
(c) ang palagi mo na lamang pagkain..nagiging magugutumin ka.
(d) at ang pagbaba ng bigat mo na hindi mo naman maipaliwanag.
(e) panghihina, madaling mapagod,at medyo pagkahilo mo.
(f) at ang pagkakaroon mo ng inpeksyon sa iyong balat at ang matagal na paghilom o pag-igi nito ng matagal.
(g) sa mga babae ay iyong paulit-ulit na inpeksyon ng kanilang ari.
(h) Panlalabo ng mga mata...blurry vision ika nga!
(i) pamimigat o kalambre sa mga paa o nawawalan ng pakiramdam(namamanhid)
(j) sa mga lalake ay ang pahirapang tumayo ang kanilang pagkalalaki sa ibaba.....
Yan ang mga sintomas na dapat ay malaman ng mga taong nakakaramdam o may pamilyang may nakaraang sakit na diabetes...(history in the family)
Bago ko tapusin ang paksang ito nais ko laman ipaalam sa inyo na dalawang klase ang diabetes..
Una ay ang: TYPE 1 diabetes--it occurs when the pancreas makes little or no insulin...itong diabetes na ito ay nade-debelop habang bata pa kaya at hanggang sa paglaki...people with this kind of diabetes type must give insuline shots to themselves evryday...

Pangalawa ay:TYPE 2---ito ay ang diabetes na itong pancreas ay hindi na kayang gumawa ng watong insulin para sa katawan ng isang tao..or when their body doesn't use the insulin properly
RISK FACTOR for TYPE 2 diabetes are:
(a) having a family history of type 2 diabetes.
(b) being age 40 or over.
(c) weighing 20% more of your required body weight.
(d) having an inactive style (TAMAD)
(e) having a history of diabetes during pregnancy(gestational diabetes)
(f) for being of african-american,hispanic,asian,Pacific island, or native american descent...
marami pang mga dahilan pero kukunin lamang natin ang mga importanteng bagay...

[the_BuGs]

(a) Panunuyo ng lalamunan mo at mga labi. at mga lubha mong pagkauhaw. <--- hmmm mahiilig ako sa tubig gusto ko lagi inom tubig
(b) ang parati na lang na pag-ihi( lalo na kung ito ay nangyayari sa gabi. <--- madalas dahil malakas ako uminom ng tubig...

(c) ang palagi mo na lamang pagkain..nagiging magugutumin ka.
<--- hmmm medyo pero sabi sa akin acidic daw ako

(d) at ang pagbaba ng bigat mo na hindi mo naman maipaliwanag. <--- syeterns bumibigat ako dahil malakas kain ko.

(e) panghihina, madaling mapagod,at medyo pagkahilo mo. <-- no exp.

(f) at ang pagkakaroon mo ng inpeksyon sa iyong balat at ang matagal na paghilom o pag-igi nito ng matagal.<--- hmmm pag nasugatan ako kahit malalim ang sugat gumagaling agad.

(h) Panlalabo ng mga mata...blurry vision ika nga!<-- kahit walong taon na akong nakababad sa PC malinaw pa rin mata ko

(i) pamimigat o kalambre sa mga paa o nawawalan ng pakiramdam(namamanhid) <--- pag naka de kwatro


(j) sa mga lalake ay ang pahirapang tumayo ang kanilang pagkalalaki sa ibaba..... <--- sa akin mabilis lalo na kung nakakakita ng gerl na naka skirt at hanging ehehehe



(a) having a family history of type 2 diabetes.<--- hmm sa buong family tree ng lolo at lola ko ... yung isang lang na naging kapatid ng lola ko nagka diabetes..... 8 silang magkakapatid..... yung nanay ng lola ko namatay at the age of 95..... lola ko 73 yrs old malakas pa.... yung ibang kapatid ng lola ko namatay sa Heart Attack.

Any of the symptoms listed by the art727 may signal diabetes, however, these are not specific for DM (meaning, other diseases may cause the symptoms). The only sure way to know if you have diabetes is to undergo a laboratory workup, which includes a blood sugar check.

[leylon]

diabetes can be acquired (meaning you can get it from too much eating of sweets) or inherited (it's already in your genes whether you like it or not)...

kapag yung langgam sa urine mo e yung black ones, i'm very positive na you have diabetes...

as for now, if you're still young, you can still prevent it for the symptoms are not that really really bad....

i agree with the others that you should cut down on sweets including beverages....no softdrinks, artificially sweetened juices, chocolates, candies, ice cream, cakes, pastries, and other stuff mostly linked to sugar....

hope you can do it....i've done it so you might as well try
