Natural and Alternative Treatments - A Holistic Approach In Medicine
Diabetes runs in my family and I am scared that I might get it. I recently found out that I was born with one kidney. I havent spoken to a doctor yet but i am curious. Can a person with one kidney and diabetes live a normal life?
I am a weak woman. It is so easy to eat what is convenient. It is easy to eat snacks provided by my employer instead of preparing a meal when deadlines are bearing down on me.
I know the risks of unhealthy eating. My aunt died from complications relating to out of control diabetes.

What are the most popular medications for diabetes, in terms of recent sales, number of patients, or some similar measure? I am interested in data for both oral medications, insulins, and other types of medication. The purpose of the question is to find out which meds out of those available are the most used and the most popular at the present time. I am not looking for treatment advice, and I am not looking for the names of just one or two medications. Thanks!
I am 17 and am afraid i have diabetes. Im going to see the docters about it asap. Although, i have had the symptons for some time now. What health problems can arise from diabetes not being properly treated?

I mean to ask how do we find out if one is suffering from cholesterol, diabetes and blood pressure without checking blood samples?
I have slight swelling of my right lower leg. The endocrinologist discovered it today. I asked her if it was caused by diabetes and she said, "Not diabetes per se." That was all she said. What condition might this be? I’m going back in one month.
The circulation in my legs is good and I have no numbness or tingling in my toes or the rest of my feet.
My mom and dad suffer from high blood pressure,high cholesterol. It run on both sides of the family,that along with diabetes and heart disease. My mom started taking blood pressure medication young,in her later 20’s. My dad suffered from a stroke due to high blood pressure. I am 22yrs old and do not want to suffer this especially while young. Are there any ways I can be proactive about not suffering from those conditions now and later on in life being that it is hereditary? Or do I not have a chance in preventing it?

I have heard that people with diabetes should not take cold, flu or pain medications. Why is this? Also, I have heard that they should avoid exposure to high heat and humidity? Why is this? I also would love to know what it is exactly, and why you need to watch what you eat and use a meter?
I know that baldness comes from your mother’s father. How does diabetes travel through generations?
I have been drinking 100% natural frozen orange juice concentrate for several years now. I always thought this was a very healthy thing to do(relative to a soda pop addiction I still believe it is) but from an overall health standpoint and articles on Dr. Mercolas website, drinking concentrated fruit juices is not all that healthy since it causes spikes in blood sugar levels. So i have given up frozen concentrate juices and replaced them with plain old fruit to satisy my sugar cravings. Im eating watermelon constantly throughout the day. I’ve been doing this for a couple months now. Well, I just read in Trivia’s Vitajournal that "the average person should eat no more than 32 grams of sugar per day." The article then goes on to show that a large apple has 22 grams of sugar. So according to this article if I eat 2 large apples a day Im eating too much sugar. Is it possible to get diabetes by eating too much all natural God given fruit such as apples and watermelon?
I have a male dwarf hamster. He is active he eats and drinks fine. I don’t think he has diabetes I just want to know for future reference.
what does a person with diabetes do that works out & exercises each day do for dehydration? If I drink alot of water my sodium level drops. I keep a low magnesium , chloride , potassium & sodium level & none of the doctors here will tell me what is causing it & how to prevent it.
now there are commercials about Herpes medication and Syphilis testing…That has actually helped the taboo of STD’s decrease. However, all the media talks about is AIDS testing. Do you think they will ever reach a point of advertising like that of diabetes and cancer (surviver advertisements, celebrity advocates living with it, medication commercials, etc)
I believe that will help soften the stigma of the disease…What are your opinions?
