My name is Austin. I am five years old and have diabetes. I was just diagnosed on December 3, 2010 (which ws also my birthday!) My mom had a harder time with me being in the hospital than I did because I just played with toys while she cried! I am very brave (that's what my mom says). I test my own blood and don't cry. I don't know what the numbers mean but I tell my mom what I am, and then ask if I am perfect. Of course, she always says yes! I don't love the shots, but my mom and dad are going to a pump class so I guess I will be getting one of those soon. I am a busy boy and love to play with toys, ride my bike, and play the WII. I am going to play T-ball this year. I can't wait.

My name is Lisa, Austin's mom. What a long two months it has been -- but we have learned so much and, most importantly, how to take care of our son. There is a lot to learn, and I am sure more and more each day, but we are getting more comfortable as time goes on. It felt like taking a new baby home when we left the hospital -- a lot of fear, anxiety, sadness -- but it is what it is, and I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and that Austin is a very special boy to be given this challenge. We are just hoping for a cure like everyone else, but, in the meantime, we are so glad that it can be managed. All I can say is this takes organized to a whole new level!

Diabetes Warrior – Diabetes Management from a Paleolithic …

Wednesday, May 20th, 2015

Exquisite and cuisine are not words generally associated with grilling and paleo. After reading this post and even better after trying this 'recipe', I think you will agree.

Did you hear? The national dietetics group admitted they were wrong and caused untold suffering to millions with harmful dietary advice!You didnt hear that? Well, they didnt exactly say those words

Give slow roasting a try. The fat preservation is a HUGE benefit to making meats stay moist and juicy. And placing on an open rack is key for air flow.

People have been critical of me posting against Fung in "Fung I". I have been accused of nitpicking.This brief post provides the reason why? ... 'because He is HARMING people'.If your mother, brother, sister or daughter was receiving such harmful advice from a 'diabetes educator' ... we would all be ranting about the ridiculous advice. And I am now.

This post is a critique of the advice I have read and heard by a so called low carb diabetes expert. Im writing this post to alert people to the fallacies, half-truths and potentially harmful advice the person has given. Ill lay out my overall strategy, shows results and report []

I was once an obese, drug and insulin dependent diabetic.Now I am THRIVING and attempting to live life at its fullest on a low carb paleo style meal plan and lifestyle.

Omelettes can be a 'vehicle' for many meats and vegetables. I urge you again to open your mind to new foods and new food preparations.

I spent 30% of my time with my blood sugars in the 70s and the remaining 70% of the time with my blood sugars between 80-100 mg/dl.

Blood sugars are THE single most important health number for diabetics, IF you eat like me... mainly fatty meats, leafy green vegetables, eggs, coconut oil and butter...

So, please, now is your golden opportunity to realize that overstretching your rubber band WILL make it break. You, only YOU, have the power to PREVENT the end-result diagnosis of diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tuesday, May 19th, 2015

Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.[2] Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications.[3]Acute complications include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma.[4] Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney failure, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.[3]

Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced.[5] There are three main types of diabetes mellitus:

Prevention and treatment involve a healthy diet, physical exercise, not using tobacco and being a normal body weight. Blood pressure control and proper foot care are also important for people with the disease. Type 1 diabetes must be managed with insulin injections.[3] Type 2 diabetes may be treated with medications with or without insulin.[7] Insulin and some oral medications can cause low blood sugar.[8]Weight loss surgery in those with obesity is an effective measure in those with type 2 DM.[9]Gestational diabetes usually resolves after the birth of the baby.[10]

As of 2014, an estimated 387 million people have diabetes worldwide,[11] with type 2 diabetes making up about 90% of the cases.[12][13] This represents 8.3% of the adult population,[13] with equal rates in both women and men.[14] From 2012 to 2014, diabetes is estimated to have resulted in 1.5 to 4.9 million deaths each year.[7][11] Diabetes at least doubles a person's risk of death.[3] The number of people with diabetes is expected to rise to 592 million by 2035.[11] The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was estimated to be $612 billion USD.[15] In the United States, diabetes cost $245 billion in 2012.[16]

The classic symptoms of untreated diabetes are weight loss, polyuria (increased urination), polydipsia (increased thirst), and polyphagia (increased hunger).[17] Symptoms may develop rapidly (weeks or months) in type1 diabetes, while they usually develop much more slowly and may be subtle or absent in type2 diabetes.

Several other signs and symptoms can mark the onset of diabetes, although they are not specific to the disease. In addition to the known ones above, they include blurry vision, headache, fatigue, slow healing of cuts, and itchy skin. Prolonged high blood glucose can cause glucose absorption in the lens of the eye, which leads to changes in its shape, resulting in vision changes. A number of skin rashes that can occur in diabetes are collectively known as diabetic dermadromes.

Low blood sugar is common in persons with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Most cases are mild and are not considered medical emergencies. Effects can range from feelings of unease, sweating, trembling, and increased appetite in mild cases to more serious issues such as confusion, changes in behavior, seizures, unconsciousness, and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death in severe cases.[18][19] Mild cases are self-treated by eating or drinking something high in sugar. Severe cases can lead to unconsciousness and must be treated with intravenous glucose or injections with glucagon.

People (usually with type1 diabetes) may also experience episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis, a metabolic disturbance characterized by nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, the smell of acetone on the breath, deep breathing known as Kussmaul breathing, and in severe cases a decreased level of consciousness.[20]

A rare but equally severe possibility is hyperosmolar nonketotic state, which is more common in type2 diabetes and is mainly the result of dehydration.[20]

All forms of diabetes increase the risk of long-term complications. These typically develop after many years (1020), but may be the first symptom in those who have otherwise not received a diagnosis before that time.

The Artificial Pancreas Treatment mimics natural and provides themissing stimulationof the liver. Clinics are open in the USA, China, and India, with Clinics planned in Taiwan, Mexico, Europe and Africa.

How is it "natural?" Theliverprovides theenzymes needed for the bodyto metabolize (burn) carbohydrates. This is the core problem that people with diabetes have, the inability to process this important type of food.

When the Artificial Pancreas Treatment mimics a normal pancreas stimulation of the liver, these missingenzymes are restored, the body can process carbohydrateswhich provides each cell with needed levels of cellular energy (ATP) fromcarbohydrates.

With that needed energy thetissuesheal themselves because the DNA remembers how to heal, naturally!

For Information, call(916) 550 1050

The Goals and Achievements

Global Roll Out of the THE ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS TREATMENT With new clinics going into 45 cities, and existing clinics in 18 USA cities the Trina Health Global Roll Out is under way. "We have proven that we can stop the suffering of diabetic heart, kidney, eye, nerve, brain fog, and wounds, what more is neeed?" announce the Trina Health CEO, and Chief Medical Officers. For over 20 years the Artificial Pancreas Treatment and Artificial Pancreas System have been in development, but the problem has always been that the cost of delivering the treatment is too high for the average diabetic patient. It is now proven that APT will slow, stop and in many ways reverse the complications of diabetes, truly wonderful news to millions. And now it is affordable and available. The treatment provides what a nondiabetic pancreas supplies, a very discreet series of oscillations in the blood of a nondiabetic person. These oscillations are required for normal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. By mimicking what a nondiabetic pancreas does, the Artificial Pancreas System restores energy to the cells from carbohydrates, which are needed for the cells to have a normal amount of energy (ATP). The good news is that the DNA of every cell never forgets what it is supposed to do, and once proper metabolic energy is reestablished, the cell knows what to do and the body prepares itself naturally and in its own special way. The Artificial Pancreas Treatment (which is a treatment under the practice of Medicine) uses the FDA-cleared Bionica pump, the infusion part of the Artificial Pancreas System, and is now in the final commercial rollout phase where patients can be treated for six months and, with the help of a friend or family member, the patient can be treated at home for three weeks coming back only once a month into the clinic for the first year. After a successful year the patient will be able to be treated once every two months. This approach provides the answer on how to treat millions of people who are in dire need of stopping and reversing their diabetes complications. CALL OUR NUMBER FOR THE NEXT WEBINAR

Because of the amazing outcomes, there are not enough chairs for patients seeking the Artificial Pancreas Treatment. The two physician groups have joined to provide the outstanding care achieved in other clinics. This Clinic is a "Fath Based" clinic which helps even those who cannot fully pay. God bless them for that ! Read more...

Stress: American Diabetes Association

Tuesday, May 19th, 2015

Share:

Stress results when something causes your body to behave as if it were under attack. Sources of stress can be physical, like injury or illness. Or they can be mental, like problems in your marriage, job, health, or finances.

When stress occurs, the body prepares to take action. This preparation is called the fight-or-flight response. In the fight-or-flight response, levels of many hormones shoot up. Their net effect is to make a lot of stored energy glucose and fat available to cells. These cells are then primed to help the body get away from danger.

In people who have diabetes, the fight-or-flight response does not work well. Insulin is not always able to let the extra energy into the cells, so glucose piles up in the blood.

Many sources of stress are long-term threats. For example, it can take many months to recover from surgery. Stress hormones that are designed to deal with short-term danger stay turned on for a long time. As a result, long-term stress can cause long-term high blood glucose levels.

Many long-term sources of stress are mental. Your mind sometimes reacts to a harmless event as if it were a real threat. Like physical stress, mental stress can be short term: from taking a test to getting stuck in a traffic jam. It can also be long term: from working for a demanding boss to taking care of an aging parent. With mental stress, the body pumps out hormones to no avail. Neither fighting nor fleeing is any help when the "enemy" is your own mind.

In people with diabetes, stress can alter blood glucose levels in two ways:

Scientists have studied the effects of stress on glucose levels in animals and people. Diabetic mice under physical or mental stress have elevated glucose levels. The effects in people with type 1 diabetes are more mixed. While most people's glucose levels go up with mental stress, others' glucose levels can go down. In people with type 2 diabetes, mental stress often raises blood glucose levels. Physical stress, such as illness or injury, causes higher blood glucose levels in people with either type of diabetes.

It's easy to find out whether mental stress affects your glucose control. Before checking your glucose levels, write down a number rating your mental stress level on a scale of 1 to 10. Then write down your glucose level next to it. After a week or two, look for a pattern. Drawing a graph may help you see trends better. Do high stress levels often occur with high glucose levels, and low stress levels with low glucose levels? If so, stress may affect your glucose control.

You may be able to get rid of some stresses of life. If traffic upsets you, for example, maybe you can find a new route to work or leave home early enough to miss the traffic jams. If your job drives you crazy, apply for a transfer if you can, or possibly discuss with your boss how to improve things. As a last resort, you can look for another job. If you are at odds with a friend or relative, you can make the first move to patch things up. For such problems, stress may be a sign that something needs to change.
