Many people don’t know about the different types of diabetes. There are three different types and they are Type 1 (child diabetes) Type 2 (adult diabetes) and Gestational diabetes. All three types are diabetes and will ohave all the symptoms of diabetes, yet each one has a different time at which it will show up in development.

Type 2 diabetes is most likely always associated with being overweight. We don’t know what exactly triggers this type of diabetes, but it occurs when the insulin becomes lesser and lesser effective and as a result sugar starts to get built up in the blood. The medical term for this is insulin resistance. This type of diabetes is most commonly found in adults, and today is a very common medical condition. 1 in 90 people are assumed to have Type 2 diabetes, and though it was more commonly found in adults, it is more and more being found in younger generations.

Tip! Eyes: Diabetes affects blood vessels of eyes, damage the blood vessels and causes eye problems like damage to retina, cause cataract or total blindness.

An insulin resistance is when the insulin that your body produces fails to regulate the sugar levels in your blod. You will find this called “beta cell failure”. Think you may have this? The symptoms are steady increase of blood pressure, joint pain due to gout, steady rise of fat levels in the blood that could lead to more severe heart problems.

Most of the symptoms of this disease are common to all the three types of diabetes, i.e. the patient will feel extremely thirsty and urinate often, will feel fatigued all the time, will experience sudden weight loss (though the loss in weight will not be too pronounced), get skin infections and irritation very frequently.

What should you do if you think you may have this disease? First of all, visit a doctor. Then you should take a serious look at your diet. You will have to make sure that you aren’t consuming too much, or too little sugar. You will also need to add fiber to your diet, and eliminate fat. If you prove to have Type 2 diabetes you will have to regulate your blood sugar levels and also inject yourself with insulin if needed. Another piece of advice is to get your doctors number incases of an emergency.

Tip! Eight out of ten people living with diabetes are overweight.

Golden Retrievers

Originally bred to hunt in 1800s England, the golden retriever has retained much of its natural curiosity and hunting behaviors. The breed has maintained its standing in the top ten most popular dog breeds in the US partly because of the dog0s gentle nature, fierce loyalty and friendly personality. They0re the quintessential family pet due to their patience with children.
The female golden weighs approximately 55-65 pounds, and stands a couple of inches shorter than her male counterpart, who stands about 24 inches at the shoulder, and weighs in at 65-75 pounds. Females tend to have smaller, more delicately-shaped heads than males. They come in a range of colors, from deep coppery auburn to light cream. Their coats also differ in appearance. Field goldens, or hunting goldens, are more likely to be darker and sleeker than show goldens, whose honey-colored coats are thick and fluffy. Goldens have two coats: their top coats are hardy and water-repellent, while their undercoats are thick and dense. These dogs shed most of their undercoat in the spring, and grow it in preparation for the chill of winter. Regular grooming can help control excessive shedding. Their ears are soft and floppy, but they perk up […]

With diabetes, if you stay at home it is a lot easier to do what you should do. It is when you go out that the problems begin. Every thing is either fried or soaked in grease. Also, they give you twice the size portions that you need. My mother always told me to take what I wanted but to eat what I took. I have always lived by her rule. At least that is what I blame it on when I over eat.
But with diabetes, the diabetic diet does not have to be all that bad. There are a lot of good food you can eat that will not increase you glucose level. If fact, most of the food that we should eat is not that bad on the sugar level. It is the junk food that we Americans have become addicted to that is so bad for us […]
