I have had several symptoms including high or low blood sugar since October 2008, help?

My symptoms include:
Dizziness/Lightheadedness
Feeling Bad with no apparent cause
Partial Seizures
Chest Pains
Diarrhea
Acid Reflux
Fatigue
Vulnerability to other Sicknesses
High/Low Blood Sugar
Tremors/Shaking in right hand
Pain in Back/Hips

Please, if you have any insight into any of my symptoms, lend me a hand. I have visited some doctors including a Physician (regularly), Neurologist, and a Pediatric Endocrinologist. There are still no answers even with multiple blood tests. I also test my blood sugar whenever I have these symptoms to find that my blood sugar is high although diabetes has been ruled out.

I'm only 14, and I'd like to be able to play sports without having this problem holding me down.

that's odd. if your blood sugar goes high and low, you most likely have type 1 diabetes

Reversing Diabetes (Paperback)


$11.32


It is possible to manage and even reverse diabetes through natural means, and in Reversing Diabetes, Dr. Colbert shows you how.Most people view diabetes as a dead-end street?once you receive a diabetes diagnosis, your only option is to manage the symptoms with a restricted diet, close monitoring of blood sugar, and expensive medications. Dr. Colbert shows that diabetes can be treated instead through safe, natural means, like healthy food and vitamins rather than strictly relying on prescription drugs. He shows you how to manage your weight and your glucose intake with a whole-body approach, using nutritional supplements along with dietary and lifestyle changes to lose weight, repair cell damage, improve insulin function, and reduce the side effects from prescription drugs, many of which rob nutrients from the body and cause additional symptoms.Based on the same life-changing principles of the low-glycemic, high-fiber eating plan provided in Dr. Colbert`s New York Times best-selling book, Dr. Colbert`s ?I Can Do This? Diet, this book adapts that plan in a way that makes it ideal for diabetics who need to manage their glucose levels and their weight. ?Siloam?an imprint of Charisma House Book Group, is the leader in the Christian health and fitness genre, with several best-sellers?including Don Colbert`s The Bible Cure series.? ?Christian Retailing ?Physician Don Colbert Preaches The Gospel Of Good Nutrition, Advising His Patients To Follow In The Footsteps Of One Of History`s Better-known Role Models.? ?Orlando Sentinel

Computational Neuroscience of Drug Addiction (Hardcover)


Computational Neuroscience of Drug Addiction (Hardcover)


$164.35


Drug addiction remains one of the most important public health problems in western societiesand is a rising concern for developing nations. Over the past 3 decades, experimental research on theneurobiology and psychology of drug addiction has generated a torrent of exciting data, from the molecular up to the behavioral levels. As a result, a new and pressing challenge for addiction research is to formulate a synthetic theoretical framework that goes well beyond mere scientific eclectism to deepen our understanding of drug addiction and to foster our capacity to prevent and to cure drug addiction.Intrigued by the apparent irrational behavior of drug addicts, researchers from a wide range of scientificdisciplines have formulated a plethora of theoretical schemes over the years to understand addiction.However, most of these theories and models are qualitative in nature and are formulated using terms that are often ill-defined. As a result, the empirical validity of these models has been difficult to test rigorously, which has served to generate more controversy than clarity. In this context, as in other scientific fields, mathematical and computational modeling should contribute to the development of more testable and rigorous models of addiction.

diabetes and Restless Leg Syndrome?

Are there any connections between undiagnosed diabetes and Restless Leg Syndrome?! i know that diabetes can cause nerve damage but can it make you get that creepy crawly feeling in your knees? i have never been diagnosed (gonna ask to get testes next dr app) but im also tired ALOT, drink alot of water or gatorade, have blurry vision, sometimes when i stand up everything goes black, have really really dry feet, my eye dr said i have high pressure in my eyes if that help at all (cause of the connection high eye pressure to glaucoma and glaucoma to diabetes) and headache almost daily...any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

There is a very definite link between diabetes and restless leg syndrome. If diabetes gets worse, the restless leg will turn into very painful cramps.

But the first thing I see is that you drink a lot of gatorade. Gatorade has a LOT of sugar in it! So the first thing you need to do is STOP drinking colas, sports drinks, and energy drinks (Rock Star, etc) ALL of these have far too much sugar in them. You need good, clean, clear water (and not tea or coffee). If you NEED a cola, drink a diet cola, but no more than 2 cans a day. Use them as a reward for a job well done, instead of to quench your thirst.

The connection between glaucoma and diabetes is not all that common, but diabetes aggravates everything elee, so why not . . . .?

But diabetes can NOT be diagnosed by symptoms alone. There are many disease that have the same symptoms as diabetes. For example, tiredness, headaches, blurred vision, "blackouts" when standing -- all of those are also symptoms of hypoglycemia -- blood sugar is too low; the exact opposite of diabetes.

the ONLY way to diagnose diabetes is through blood tests at the doctors office.

You need to ask the doctor to do an A1C test. This test will tell you if your average blood sugars are LOW, NORMAL, or HIGH. If the A1C test is HIGH, the doctor can order more tests to determine absolutely if you are diabetic or not.

NOTE: If the doctor pricks your finger then take a drop of blood into a hand-held meter, that is NOT an A1C test! The A1C test needs a special piece of laboratory equipment (which many doctors have), but NOT a hand-held meter.
The "Finger Stick" and hand-held meter test is used to CONTROL your diabetes. Since the A1C test was invented, the "Finger Stick" test is no longer a good test for DIAGNOSING diabetes.

One of the major functions of the kidneys is to maintain the bodies fluid volumes?

Quote One of the major functions of the kidneys is to maintain the bodies fluid volumes. This is important to regulate blood pressure and to maintain hydration Quote

Can some one explain this better.

Also what can cause protein or sugar in the urine ?

It's an incomplete thought

The kidneys regulate the body's fluid volume, mineral composition and acidity by excreting and reabsorbing water and inorganic electrolytes. This helps balance these substances (which include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, sulfate, phosphate and hydrogen) in the body and keep their normal concentrations in the extracellular fluid. Body fluid volumes, which are regulated by the kidneys, are related to blood volume and the blood pressure in your arteries.

The problem is that other body fluids also include saliva, semen, breast milk, pus, cerebrospinal fluid, sweat. Are my kidneys making sure I have enough semen?

Text based in medicine but accessibly written advises readers how to determine if the cause of snoring is sleep apnea; where to find a sleep center; what the physical, pharmaceutical, and psychological causes of the disease are; and what the surgical and non-surgical (e.g. continuous positive airway pressure machines) treatment options may be.

can i swim for exercise?

I recently had an amputation on my pinky toe due to my dumb ass dropping something on it.
being diabetic it has taken time to heal. i recently was walking on treadmill and it has just
extended healing time. i need to burn calories though cause i have gained 16 pounds
from just being home. ( 6' 230 now) i have even cut meals to one or two a day.

i have access to a full gym in nieghborhood , but need to burn calories rather than lift wieghts.
the week i was on the treadmill my sugar was perfectly under control and i did not need my meds but my foot wasnt getting better. Is swimming( which i can do) the best way for cardio now?

PLEASE HELP - Best Answer to be chosen tonight.

Sabu,
As a diabetic you know perfectly well you cannot skip meals. Swimming is great exercise, but does your foot have an open wound? Can you swim and not get your foot area wet?

Can you do a reclining bike for exercise. I understand the importance of keeping your weight under control, as well as your blood sugar under control. If you do not get enough nutrition, you will also slow your healing process. Make sure you take vitamins and eat more protein to encourage and promote healing.
Water aerobics is also great if you can get your foot wet.

If you go to the gym, rowing is another option.

Pulmonary Hypertension?

A family member of mine has pulmonary hypertension, he noticed it because of shortness of breath. He has liver disease (past alcoholic), high blood pressure, diabetes, he had brain surgery done in the past. They were going to put a cathoder or something near or in his heart but his blood pressure was too high.. Right now they have him on medication and i think because he has good health care they are just keeping him for as long as possible.. Any thoughts about the outcome?
He has an enlarged stomach because of fluid build up there, he had fluid in his lungs before, his feet were oddly shaped too when he was admitted

do you know the type of medication if it is an antihypertensive medication they may be trying to control his Blood pressure so they can successfully insert the catheter to drain the excess fluid around the heart. If he eats healthy(watches his carb and sugar intake) does what he can for exercise and takes his medication as directed i think he could live longer.
