I have never been checked for diabeties, however many people in my family who suffer from it. I have been having some weird symptoms such as:
1.) Blurry vision
2.) Constant urination
however, my biggest concern is...
3) Swollen feet and ankles. The swelling in my feet almost never goes away and the tightness feels like I am wearing tightly rapped ace bandages on my feet. There are very few pairs of shoes that I can wear because my feet have gotten to large for anything else. It's like having the feet of a 300lb man lol.
I have a very healthy diet, my sodium intake is very low and for the most part I am healthy.
What could this be?
Constant urination definately is a sign. Are you thirsty all the time? Swollen feet and ankles can be from being sedentary too long. Or your circulation is not its best in this area. Blurry vision is also not a good sign. Its good that you keep you sodium down, but watch for other things too. Specifically sugar, white flour, and high starch foods. Try to eat more dark leafy greens and vegetables. Still you need to go see a doctor to at least get some diagnostic tests to prove that diabetes if what you do have. Once you know and are aware your much better off. I am a diabetic and a health professional that is trying to hard to get off my medication. I do believe it is possible. It took me getting here to wake up and I don't know how much damage it has already done to my body. Find out!

The diagnosis and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is considered to be one of the most important topics in urology and afflicts millions of older men world-wide. Although it is not life threatening, its clinical manifestation as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) reduces the patient`s quality of life over many years. Patients often suffer from LUTS due to BPH for a long time. If left untreated, the patients are at significant risk of potentially severe complications.Over the last decade, new diagnostic approaches and treatment options such as prostate lasers have become more accepted in the urological community. This pocketbook provides an update of several aspects related with BPH / LUTS and covers the entire background, diagnostic process and treatment options available to patients suffering from LUTS due to BPH. It will give trainees in urology and general physicians a quick, concise but complete overview of diagnostic processes and recommended treatment options.
Does anyone know about using Nitric Oxide as a supplement for lowering blood pressure?
Apparently, a Dr. Louis Ignarro won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998 for his discovery of NO for the cardiovascular system. He recommends a number of supplements to support NO levels in our bodies...I just wanted to know if anyone actually followed his recommendations and had any luck?

i have used a TruTrack meter for the last 4 years and have been happy with it. I just received a OneTouch UltraMini meter in the mail and compared the two by testing my blood with both. I am shocked with the readings. There was a 15 point difference. That is not acceptable since I am an uncontrollable brittle diabetic and need to have an accurate reading. So any suggestions on how i can determine which one is right. Consumer reports says that the OneTouch is the most accurate in their report we just got this weekend. Can anyone help me determine on which one I should continue to use. I like the compact features of the OneTouch but should I give up my old one for that reason. I have medicare so my strips are paid for. Please help me on this one. Thank you.
Most meters are accurate to within 10%. The FDA requires them to be within 20%. It sounds like your meters are within standards and within the 10% mark also. I've taken four consecutive tests with the same meter all within an 3 minute period and had results vary as much at 20. I've done this with five different meters and they all had variances of no less than 10. I use an Accu-Check Compact Plus as my primary meter. I use the OneTouch Ultra Mini and my travel meter. I also have an extra Accu-Check Compact Plus, Breeze II and OneTouch Ultra in my collection. I've tested them all twice now right after my blood draw for A1C and they have all been within 12 of the lab tests. Blood results can vary within a very short period of time, method you use, are where you test, temperature, humidity, when you last ate...Your meters sound like they are fine, nobody makes a meter that is mroe accurate than that on the regular retail market. I've read about some home meters that seem to be a bit more accurate but the meter cost was over $500 US and the testing supplies ran about $4 per test.

So I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and a couple of days ago my bp was taken at my doctors and it was borderline. It's was 130 something over 90 I think, anyway I was checked for preeclampsia (protein in my urine) and it all came back normal, my doctor asked me to monitor my bp and take it in the morning. I just did and I'm confused. The first number is normal I think but the second falls under the range of high-normal (there is a chart on my bp monitor box) it was 88 over 85. It says anything under 120 is optimal for the first number, what does optimal mean? And since the first and second numbers are in two different categories then how do I know if it is Normal or not? Thanks you!
Take care with your measuring. 88 over 85 is not a reasonable result! Call your doctor for assistance in taking your blood pressure, or it won't mean anything.
The bottom number is quite important. 85 seems pretty good.

a male has a testosterone level at 193 and is diabetic need information on hormone levels ?
this person ejactulation is rare with levitrus medication it rises and gets hard but that is all!
Anne... He needs to have a doctor who specializes in the field of endocrinology. He will need blood test done and that will include Thyroid, testosterone level, TSH levels, and others. I have had to have both testicles removed , and many penis operations, plus penis re-attachment after an injury. I have been years, and just recently in March of 06 had a penile prosthesis successfully put in. I have been on Depo -Testosterone for years. It has nasty side effects like unwanted weight gain, it causes acne, rage is very common, and you have to be aware of it, and recognize it . I have a unoperatable cancerous tumor on the spine from it's use, and have had many other tumors removed that weren't cancerous, along with skin tabs. It as lo thickens the skin and make IV need sticks very hard. I have to have them often for chronic prostitis. It does help with erections if you are not in my predicament. It will make him feel better, or it did me. If i had to do it again i would. They really didn't know how to treat me, and waited to long to start me on the testosterone injection, as i wasn't able to find a specialist in Maine at the time of my injury. I now live in Florida, and after many doctors in Boston, Maine, Cionnecticut, New Jersey, My daughter and our church found a doctor Burnett in Baltimore Maryland that took me on and finally help me. I hope this will be of value to you. I certainly went through hell trying to get help, and my first wife of 24 yrs leaving me because of the injury. God has been good to me though and i have been remarried for 12 years now, and know there is help out there for this man. Don't quit! Quitters don't win, and Winners don't quit! Will keep you in my prayers. The ejaculation will more then likely return with treatment. Good Luck!

With the advent of the worldwide obesity epidemic, a concurrent rise has occurred in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is affecting younger individuals-the disease is no longer exclusive to adulthood. Diabetic micro- and macrovascular complications are also occurring at an earlier age, leading to increasing demands and costs on the healthcare system. In addition, the morbidity, disability and premature death caused by diabetic complications create a huge burden to families, employers and society at large. Thankfully, there has been a tremendous growth in new therapeutic classes of medications to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. These agents target many of the pathophysiologic defects of the disease with fewer side effects than the older agents. Newer insulin formulations have more predictable kinetics so patients can achieve better glycemic control with less risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain. Insulin delivery devices have also improved to include higher quality insulin pens, finer and shorter pen needles, and more technologically advanced insulin pumps. As part of the Oxford American Endocrinology Library series, this handbook reviews the epidemiology and pathophysiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The content covers micro- and macrovascular diabetic complications, the array of glucose regulating therapies, treatment algorithms targeting the pathophysiologic defects of type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as strategies for macrovascular risk reduction via therapeutic lifestyle change (diet, exercise, smoking cessation), pharmacotherapeutic treatment of dyslipidemia and hypertension, bariatric surgery and subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy, among other topics. Because of the concise yet comprehensive nature of the handbook, this volume is an excellent point-of-care reference for the clinician who regulary treats obese and diabetic patients.
Contributors from several medical specialties offer researchers and practitioners information that is theoretically and clinically of use in understanding the importance of people with diabetes being physically active as part of the standard of care for treating the condition. They also provide exercise guidelines and precautions to maximize the benefits of activity while minimizing the risk of adverse events. They cover epidemiology and prevention, the physiological effects of exercise in type 2 diabetes, management and treatment, and special considerations about exercise for people with diabetes. Among the topics are the metabolic syndrome, the cardiovascular consequences of type 2 diabetes mellitus, behavior change strategies for increasing exercise in diabetes, and conditions that may interfere with exercise.

Would you sign up for this....in the name of medical science?
LONDON (AFP) – Scientists are looking for women willing to eat chocolate every day for a year -- all in the name of medical science.
Researchers at the University of East Anglia and a hospital in Norwich, eastern England are trying to find out whether chocolate can cut the risk of heart disease and need 40 women to step forward and help.
Most of the women will have to eat two bars of "super-strength chocolate specially formulated by Belgian chocolatiers" daily for one year and undergo several tests to measure how healthy their hearts are.
The others will have to eat regular chocolate as a placebo.
One possible catch, for chocolate fans spotting an opportunity: volunteers for the research should be menopausal but aged under 75 and have type two diabetes.
Study coordinator Peter Curtis said: "A successful outcome could be the first step in developing new ways to improve the lives of people at increased risk of heart disease."
sounds like fun until you read the fine print and have to give blood once a week or several biopsies!
