Diabetes Information – Symptoms, Causes and Prevention of …

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

Diabetes mellitus is a common disease in the United States. It is estimated that over 16 million Americans are already caught with diabetes, and 5.4 million diabetics are not aware of the existing disease. Diabetes prevalence has increased steadily in the last half of this century and will continue rising among U.S. population. It is believed to be one of the main criterions for deaths in United States, every year. This diabetes information hub projects on the necessary steps and precautions to control and eradicate diabetes, completely.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where in human body does not produce or properly uses insulin, a hormone that is required to convert sugar, starches, and other food into energy. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by constant high levels of blood glucose (sugar). Human body has to maintain the blood glucose level at a very narrow range, which is done with insulin and glucagon. The function of glucagon is causing the liver to release glucose from its cells into the blood, for the production of energy.

There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes impede a persons carefree life. When breakdown of glucose is stopped completely, body uses fat and protein for producing the energy. Due to this mechanism symptoms like polydipsia, polyuria, polyphegia, and excessive weightloss can be observed in a diabetic. Desired blood sugar of human body should be between 70 mg/dl -110 mg/dl at fasting state. If blood sugar is less than 70 mg/dl, it is termed as hypoglycemia and if more than 110 mg /dl, its hyperglycemia.

Diabetes is the primary reason for adult blindness, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), gangrene and amputations. Overweight, lack of exercise, family history and stress increase the likelihood of diabetes. When blood sugar level is constantly high it leads to kidney failure, cardiovascular problems and neuropathy. Patients with diabetes are 4 times more likely to have coronary heart disease and stroke. In addition, Gestational diabetes is more dangerous for pregnant women and their fetus.

Though, Diabetes mellitus is not completely curable but, it is controllable to a great extent. So, you need to have thorough diabetes information to manage this it successfully. The control of diabetes mostly depends on the patient and it is his/her responsibility to take care of their diet, exercise and medication. Advances in diabetes research have led to better ways of controlling diabetes and treating its complications. Hence they include:-

Diabetes: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments – Health News

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

knowledge center home diabetes what is diabetes?

Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).

Fast facts on diabetes

Here are some key points about diabetes. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.

This information hub offers detailed but easy-to-follow information about diabetes. Should you be interested in the latest scientific research on diabetes, please see our diabetes news section.

There are three types of diabetes:

The body does not produce insulin. Some people may refer to this type as insulin-dependent diabetes, juvenile diabetes, or early-onset diabetes. People usually develop type 1 diabetes before their 40th year, often in early adulthood or teenage years.

Type 1 diabetes is nowhere near as common as type 2 diabetes. Approximately 10% of all diabetes cases are type 1.

Patients with type 1 diabetes will need to take insulin injections for the rest of their life. They must also ensure proper blood-glucose levels by carrying out regular blood tests and following a special diet.

Between 2001 and 2009, the prevalence of type 1 diabetes among the under 20s in the USA rose 23%, according to SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth data issued by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). (Link to article)

More information on type 1 diabetes is available in our type 1 diabetes page.

The body does not produce enough insulin for proper function, or the cells in the body do not react to insulin (insulin resistance).

Approximately 90% of all cases of diabetes worldwide are type 2.

Some people may be able to control their type 2 diabetes symptoms by losing weight, following a healthy diet, doing plenty of exercise, and monitoring their blood glucose levels. However, type 2 diabetes is typically a progressive disease - it gradually gets worse - and the patient will probably end up have to take insulin, usually in tablet form.

Overweight and obese people have a much higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those with a healthy body weight. People with a lot of visceral fat, also known as central obesity, belly fat, or abdominal obesity, are especially at risk. Being overweight/obese causes the body to release chemicals that can destabilize the body's cardiovascular and metabolic systems.

Being overweight, physically inactive and eating the wrong foods all contribute to our risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Drinking just one can of (non-diet) soda per day can raise our risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 22%, researchers from Imperial College London reported in the journal Diabetologia. The scientists believe that the impact of sugary soft drinks on diabetes risk may be a direct one, rather than simply an influence on body weight.

The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is also greater as we get older. Experts are not completely sure why, but say that as we age we tend to put on weight and become less physically active. Those with a close relative who had/had type 2 diabetes, people of Middle Eastern, African, or South Asian descent also have a higher risk of developing the disease.

Men whose testosterone levels are low have been found to have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, say that low testosterone levels are linked to insulin resistance. (Link to article)

For more information on how type 1 and type 2 diabetes compare, see our article: the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

More information on type 1 diabetes is available in our type 2 diabetes page.

This type affects females during pregnancy. Some women have very high levels of glucose in their blood, and their bodies are unable to produce enough insulin to transport all of the glucose into their cells, resulting in progressively rising levels of glucose.

Diagnosis of gestational diabetes is made during pregnancy.

The majority of gestational diabetes patients can control their diabetes with exercise and diet. Between 10% to 20% of them will need to take some kind of blood-glucose-controlling medications. Undiagnosed or uncontrolled gestational diabetes can raise the risk of complications during childbirth. The baby may be bigger than he/she should be.

Scientists from the National Institutes of Health and Harvard University found that women whose diets before becoming pregnant were high in animal fat and cholesterol had a higher risk for gestational diabetes, compared to their counterparts whose diets were low in cholesterol and animal fats. (Link to article)

See the next page of our article for a full list of possible diabetes symptoms.

The vast majority of patients with type 2 diabetes initially had prediabetes. Their blood glucose levels where higher than normal, but not high enough to merit a diabetes diagnosis. The cells in the body are becoming resistant to insulin.

Studies have indicated that even at the prediabetes stage, some damage to the circulatory system and the heart may already have occurred.

Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers to the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar in the blood - it is the principal source of fuel for our bodies.

When our food is digested, the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.

Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. After eating, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells, as soon as glucose enters the cells blood-glucose levels drop.

A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia). This is because the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces. This results in too much glucose building up in the blood. This excess blood glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements.

Doctors can determine whether a patient has a normal metabolism, prediabetes or diabetes in one of three different ways - there are three possible tests:

Diabetes comes from Greek, and it means a "siphon". Aretus the Cappadocian, a Greek physician during the second century A.D., named the condition diabainein. He described patients who were passing too much water (polyuria) - like a siphon. The word became "diabetes" from the English adoption of the Medieval Latin diabetes.

In 1675, Thomas Willis added mellitus to the term, although it is commonly referred to simply as diabetes. Mel in Latin means "honey"; the urine and blood of people with diabetes has excess glucose, and glucose is sweet like honey. Diabetes mellitus could literally mean "siphoning off sweet water".

In ancient China people observed that ants would be attracted to some people's urine, because it was sweet. The term "Sweet Urine Disease" was coined.

All types of diabetes are treatable. Diabetes type 1 lasts a lifetime, there is no known cure. Type 2 usually lasts a lifetime, however, some people have managed to get rid of their symptoms without medication, through a combination of exercise, diet and body weight control.

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic Arizona in Scottsdale showed that gastric bypass surgery can reverse type 2 diabetes in a high proportion of patients. They added that within three to five years the disease recurs in approximately 21% of them. Yessica Ramos, MD., said "The recurrence rate was mainly influenced by a longstanding history of Type 2 diabetes before the surgery. This suggests that early surgical intervention in the obese, diabetic population will improve the durability of remission of Type 2 diabetes." (Link to article)

Patients with type 1 are treated with regular insulin injections, as well as a special diet and exercise.

Patients with Type 2 diabetes are usually treated with tablets, exercise and a special diet, but sometimes insulin injections are also required.

If diabetes is not adequately controlled the patient has a significantly higher risk of developing complications.

Below is a list of possible complications that can be caused by badly controlled diabetes:

What is Diabetes? Facts & Statistics About Diabetes | PAMF

Thursday, August 4th, 2016

Almost 30 million people in the United States have diabetes. There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes usually occurs during childhood or adolescence. Type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form of the disease, usually occurs in people who are 45 years of age or older. However, the rate of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents is increasing.

Common Diabetes Terms (American Diabetes Association)

Diabetes can go silently undetected for a long time without symptoms. Many people first become aware that they have diabetes when they develop one of its potentially life-threatening complications, such as heart disease, blindness or nerve disease.

Fortunately, diabetes can be managed with proper care. Diabetes is a chronic (life-long) condition that can have serious consequences. However, with careful attention to your blood sugar control, lifestyle modifications and medications, you can manage your diabetes and may avoid many of the problems associated with the disease. The Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) can help you make the transition of managing your disease easier. Back to top

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes is a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles. There are three types of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes is a disease that starts when the pancreas stops making insulin. Insulin lets blood sugaralso called glucoseenter the body's cells to be used for energy. Without insulin, the cells can't get the sugar they need, and too much sugar builds up in the blood. Back to top

Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease that happens when the cells of the body can't use insulin the right way or when the pancreas can't make enough insulin. Insulin lets blood sugaralso called glucoseenter the bodys cells to be used for energy. When insulin is not able to do its job, the cells can't get the sugar they need, and too much sugar builds up in the blood. Over time, this extra sugar in the blood can damage your eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys. Back to top

Gestational diabetes is a temporary form of insulin resistance that usually occurs halfway through a pregnancy as a result of excessive hormone production in the body, or the pancreas' inability to make the additional insulin that is needed during some pregnancies in women without a previous history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after pregnancy, but women who have had gestational diabetes are at an increased risk for later developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers have identified a small percentage of diabetes cases that result from specific genetic syndromes, surgery, chemicals, drugs, malnutrition, infections, viruses and other illnesses. Back to top

People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease (more than 77,000 deaths due to heart disease annually). Heart disease death rates are also two to four times as high as adults without diabetes. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to suffer a stroke.

New Mexico: American Diabetes Association

Are applicants for a driver's license asked questions about diabetes?

Yes. The driver's license application (first-time and renewal) asks an applicant whether he or she has diabetes. If an applicant answers yes to this question, he or she is required to have a physician complete a medical report form. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-14(A) (2013) (generally authorizing the licensing agency to examine driver's license applicants for "anyphysical and mental examination as [it] finds necessary to determine the applicant's fitness to operate a motor vehicle or motorcycle safely upon the highways").

What other ways does the state have to find out about people who may not be able to drive safely because of a medical condition?

The state accepts reports of potentially unsafe drivers from police officers, physicians, family members, friends, other citizens, and hospitals. The licensing agency accepts anonymous reports and does not investigate reports before a driver is contacted for medical review. Drivers also may be required to have medical evaluations if they are involved in a given number of at-fault crashes within a given time period, if they are involved in at-fault crashes resulting in a fatality, or if they have impairments which are observed by licensing agency personnel during the licensing process. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-30(A)(2), (B) (2013) (authorizing the licensing agency to suspend or revoke a driver's license because of his or her involvement in an accident and providing for reinstatement after reexamination); N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-31 (2013) (authorizing the licensing agency to compel a medical evaluation if it has good cause to believe that a driver is incompetent or otherwise unqualified to be licensed).

What is the process for medical evaluations of drivers?

Individuals with diabetes must undergo medical evaluations when applying for driver's licenses for the first time and at all subsequent renewals. A Medical Report Form (MVD10124) is sent to an individual, which must be completed by his or her physician within 30 days. The Medical Report Form asks the physician whether the patient has diabetes, hypoglycemia, loss of consciousness, or other conditions. N.M. Motor Vehicle Division, "Medical Report," Form MVD10124 (Rev. 06/2013). If so, the physician must describe the condition and its treatment (including any medications that the patient is taking); to state whether the condition is currently controlled; and to provide test results that may be relevant. The physician also is asked to give an opinion on the following 1) whether, medically speaking, the individual is capable of safe and competent driving; 2) whether the individual suffers from any abnormal personality traits; 3) whether there should be any appropriate licensing restrictions; and 4) how often follow up any medical evaluations should be required. N.M. Motor Vehicle Division, "Medical Report," Form MVD10124 (Rev. 06/2013). Medical Report Forms are returned to the licensing agency for review and a licensing decision.

Are physicians required by law to report drivers who have medical conditions that could affect their ability to drive safely?

There is no statutory authority requiring physicians to report drivers with medical conditions that could affect their ability to drive safely to a central state agency.

Are physicians who report drivers with medical conditions immune from legal action by the patient?

There is no statutory authority providing immunity from civil or criminal liability for physicians who report or fail to report drivers with conditions that could affect their ability to drive safely to a central state agency.

Who makes decisions about whether drivers are medically qualified?

For individuals that do not take insulin or take insulin and have been under treatment for at least eight years, licensing agency personnel will issue a license so long as an individual's physician indicates on the medical evaluation form that he or she is medically fit to drive. Individuals that do not meet this condition, i.e., that have been taking insulin for less than eight years, are referred to the state's independent Health Standards Advisory Board. When diabetes cases are referred to the board, one membera general medical doctor, not an endocrinologistgenerally makes decisions, and the process generally takes four to eight weeks. The board may require additional on-the-road examinations or any other physical tests recommended by the Board. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-6(B)-(C) (2013) (board may require road tests or other examinations). Although the Health Standards Advisory Board may advise licensing agency personnel with regard to licensing decisions, N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-6(B)-(C) (2013), ultimate authority over licensing decisions resides with the licensing agency itself. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-24(A), -30(A)(1)-(11) (2013).

What are the circumstances under which a driver may be required to undergo a medical evaluation?

Upon five days' written notice, a driver may be required to undergo a medical evaluation if the licensing agency has good cause to believe that he or she is incompetent or otherwise unqualified to be licensed. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-31 (2013). A driver may be required to undergo a medical evaluation if, upon review of his or her case, the Health Standards Advisory Board determines that such an evaluation is necessary to making a recommendation as to a licensing decision. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-6(C) (2013). Drivers also may be required to have medical evaluations if they are involved in a given number of at-fault crashes within a given time period, if they are involved in at-fault crashes resulting in a fatality, or if they have impairments which are observed by licensing agency personnel during the licensing process. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-30(A)(2), (B) (2013) (authorizing the licensing agency to suspend or revoke a driver's license because of his or her involvement in an accident and providing for reinstatement conditioned upon reexamination); N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-31 (2013) (authorizing the licensing agency to compel a medical evaluation if it has good cause to believe that a driver is incompetent or otherwise unqualified to be licensed).

Has the state adopted specific policies about whether people with diabetes are allowed to drive?

No. New Mexico has adopted no specific medical guidelines related to diabetes since most diabetes cases are decided on a case-by-case basis by the Health Standards Advisory Board.

What is the state's policy about episodes of altered consciousness or loss of consciousness that may be due to diabetes?

New Mexico has not adopted a policy about episodes of loss of consciousness but is working to develop such a policy. The state has adopted a policy regarding seizures, however, which requires that an individual who has had a seizure submit to the licensing agency a statement from a physician indicating that he or she has been seizure or episode-free for at least one year and that he or she either is not under medication or is taking medication without side effects before he or she will be licensed. N.M. Code R. 18.19.5.34(B) (2013). If an individual that has had a seizure has been issued a restricted license, the licensing agency may remove any restrictions early if the individual is able to produce a satisfactory physician's statement. N.M. Code R. 18.19.5.34(A) (2013).

Does the state allow for waivers of this policy, e.g., a waiver for a one-time episode of severe hypoglycemia that has mitigating factors (e.g., recent change in medication, illness, etc.) or that has been addressed with a physician?

No. There is no statutory authority providing for exceptions to New Mexico's policy regarding episodes of loss of consciousness and driver licensing. Again, if an individual that has had a seizure has been issued a restricted license, the licensing agency may remove any restrictions early if the individual is able to produce a satisfactory physician's statement, as described above. N.M. Code R. 18.19.5.34(A) (2013).

What is the process for appealing a decision of the state regarding a driver's license?

An individual may make a written request for a hearing in the county in which he or she resides, which must be received by the licensing agency within 20 days of the suspension notice. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-30(B) (2013) (describing hearing process in detail). The licensing agency, in its discretion, may extend the 20-day request period. A hearing then is held so that an individual may provide proof as to his or her ability to operate a motor vehicle safely. Both the individual and the licensing agency may present evidence and testimony, and the individual may be required to undergo a driver examination. The licensing agency then will rescind, continue, modify, or extend the suspension. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-30(B) (2013). Except in cases of mandatory suspension or revocation, decisions of the licensing agency also may be appealed to the district court. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-36 (2013). For more information, see N.M. Motor Vehicle Division, "Hearing Requests," (Accessed 2013); N.M. Motor Vehicle Division, "Request for Hearing," Form MVD-10792 (Rev. 12/2008).

May an individual whose license is suspended or denied because of diabetes receive a probationary or restricted license?

No. However, the licensing agency may, whenever good cause appears, issue a license with restrictions, including the shortening of the licensure period, appropriate to ensure the safe operation of a motor vehicle by the licensee. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-19(A) (2013); N.M. Code R. 18.19.5.32, 18.19.5.3(A) (2013) (providing for the issuance of restricted licenses, or licenses with shorter licensure periods).

Is an identification card available for non-drivers?

Yes, with proper identification, proof of residency, and payment of a fee. See N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-402 (2013) (describing identification and proof of residency requirements); N.M. Code R. 18.19.5.12(A) (2013) (same). An individual may not hold an identification card and a driver's license concurrently. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-401(A), -402(A) (2013). An identification card is valid for a period of four years or, at the election of the holder, a period of eight years if he or she pays the applicable fee for an eight-year period. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-403(A), (C) (2013). A $5.00 fee is required upon application for an identification card with a four-year term, and a $10.00 fee is required upon application for an identification card with an eight-year term. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-408(A) (2013). Individuals 75 years of age or older may obtain identification cards free of charge. N.M. Stat. Ann. 66-5-408(A) (2013).

Take the Diabetes Risk Test

Diabetes is a costly, complex, and devastating chronic illness that poses a major public health problem. Diabetes affects over 475,000 adults and 4,500 children and adolescents in Wisconsin. It is the seventh leading cause of death in Wisconsin, costing an estimated annual $6.15 billion in health care costs and lost productivity. Each year, more than 1,100 Wisconsin residents die from diabetes and many more suffer disabling complications, such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputations. This burden is higher among minority populations. Much of the health and economic burden of diabetes can be averted through known prevention measures.

The Wisconsin Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP) is dedicated to improving the health of people at risk for or with diabetes. We rely on our strong partnerships in the development, distribution, and implementation of resources. Please use the links to the left as well as those below to access these resources.

Pennsylvanians and Delawareans are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as thousands of people suffer from the disease, and many others may have diabetes and not know it!

It is estimated that one out of every three children born after 2000 in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes.

That is why the American Diabetes Association's Philadelphia office is so committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease.

We are here to help.

The Philadelphia office serves Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware.
