No wonder, patients of diabetes and their relatives are finding it so very tough to find the right kind of diabetic meal plan that they can use, without worrying unduly for the repercussions.Dietary management for diabetes is undoubtedly a serious issue.

In addition to adverse consequences from the drugs themselves, many of the drug interactions and resulting bad reactions may be cloaked under a condition you already have. For example, instead of having some bizarre medical reaction, you may have a reaction that is simply a worsening of a condition you already have. For example, it will be hard for a doctor to determine if your diabetes is getting worse because of medication interactions since there are many other reasons diabetes can go out of control. Here is a list of 9of the most common drugs that may have adverse effects on diabetics:1. Beta blockers: These may reduce the release of insulin. Some examples are Lopressor, Tenormin, and Inderal.2. Minoxidil: This can raise your blood glucose levels. If you are on insulin and you forget y

A working and well maintained blood glucose monitor is one of the most important pieces of equipment for managing diabetes. With out one of these handy little devices it would be nearly impossible to manage the affects of diabetes. Depending on the type and severity of their disease the diabetic will check their blood glucose levels anywhere from 3 to 7 times a day. Blood glucose meters can be bought at just about any

This morning myself and four other parents chaperoned a second grade field trip to Raley's and Jamba Juice. The fact that we did so without equipping ourselves prior with guns, cattle prods, or NyQuil-tipped darts is a testament to either our vast reserves of courage or abject stupidity.Needless to say that by the time our group passed the liquor aisle every parent was gazing longingly at the fortified wine while the bakery department pumped our kids full of cookies and some kind of punch that was most certainly composed solely of caffeine and high fructose corn syrup. Then the black-hearted bastards waved goodbye.So really, I don't think we parents can be blamed for lining our progeny against the wall to shoot them. Alright, I kid. We locked them in the walk-in freezer instead.

Because diabetes is such a powerful and dangerous illness, there are many symptoms that stem from this terrible disease. One such example is nerve disease, which is the result of having high blood glucose levels for 10 years or more. Once nerve disease is rooted from diabetes, this is called diabetic neuropathy. In order to diagnose a nerve disorder, a person's nerve conduction velocity (NCV for short) is severely slowed down. Nerve conduction velocity is simply the speed at which nervous impulses travel down a nerve fiber. Unfortunately a person may not show any symptoms for a long time to come even though their body is experiencing slow NCV. Therefore, getting tested to find out the speed of their NCV is a way to diagnose neuropathy in diabetics who are not yet showing symptoms of nerve damage. Medications can then be supplied to the patient and in many cases their nerve symptoms will improve. WARNING: Diabetic neuropathy is most prevalent in men and women over the age of 4

Workers who have diabetes with neuropathic symptoms such as numbness or tingling in feet or hands lose the equivalent of 1.4 hours a week or $3.65 billion per year in health-related lost productive time, a recent study finds. According to a press release from EurekAlert, the 1.4 hours lost was more than twice the amount of lost time of diabetic workers without neuropathic symptoms. For this reason, individuals with diabetes are much more likely to be unemployed. Geisinger Center for Health Research investigators looked at 19,075 working adults, including 1,003 who were diagnosed with diabetes. Of these workers, 38% reported diabetes-related numbness or tingling in their feet or hands. When the investigators compared health-related lost productive time, it was 18% higher in diabetics with symptoms and 5% higher in diabetics without symptoms. Those with diabetes were about twice more likely than those without diabetes to be unemployed. (Source: Medical News Today | Geisinger) Shar

Diabetes is unfortunately all too common. Often it is discovered in women when they get a complete physical checkup due to their pregnancies. A diabetic mother faces physical conditions that can affect the health of the unborn baby and her own health. Often with a pregnancy diet, diabetic mothers can control the conditions that may cause complications. When a woman conceives, she falls in love with her child unseen. She wants to do whatever she must to insure the safety of her child. Complications during pregnancy that may arise due to diabetes include the following. * Miscarriage * Stillbirth * High blood pressure * Growth of an extra large infant * Birth defects * Preterm birth Diabetes should never be taken lightly. Diabetes that occurs in a pregnant woman, who did not have diabetes before conception, is called gestational diabetes. There is also Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes that exists before pregnancy. All 3 kinds must be taken seriously. But fortunately, a pregnancy diet, dia

As the world turns! I suppose changes in life insurance underwriting are probably researched and well thought out, but at times it feels like underwriters just wake up on a different side of the underwriting bed and decide to shake things up. Occasionally a change will be so far out there that I swear the underwriter was abducted and their brain exhanged for alien spare parts…..fodder for a less serious blog! With type 2 diabetes , the past benchmarks have always been a hemoglobin A1c below 7 and onset after age 40. If all other risk factors were well controlled there were a number of companies that would offer standard and even better than standard rates. Several companies have quietly nudged their hbA1c requirement down to 6.5. Allie Beatty who is one of the most prolific bloggers on the subject of diabetes, has offered her opinion that the A1c is not necessarily the bottom line measurement of control for diabetics. I shared her thoughts with several underwriters and the vice
