Q. Hello to all the diabetic people here. Anybody can recommend a good diabetes blog that I can learn from? I can't seem to find a good blog for Diabetes.

A. which kind of diabetes do you have? do you need insulin (diabetes I) or do you have to much sugar in your blood because you eat too much artificial sweeteners (diabetes II). for diabetes II i have with me a report about the causes and what you can do to cure yourself with the help of doctors or therapists.

Q. So now it’s for life? Just like that, out of the blue my doctor told me a few months ago that I apparently I have diabetes (although I’m already 37), and that I’ll need to inject insulin to control my blood sugar. Moreover, I’ll have to restrict my diet and plan everything I put inside my mouth ahead. So far I manage with it, but it interfere with my life so much I don’t how long I can keep this way- it’s like I lost the possibility to be spontaneous in my llife. How do you cope with it?

A. It is not at all easy to get used a completely different lifestyle, having to plan everything you eat, etc. However, try and remind yourself every day how important keeping the sugar levels balanced is for your health. Diabetes is very common and you can find many websites, magazines and support groups that may help you cope. You should definately consult your doctor as well as your family, regarding your feelings and possible fears.

Q. 1?, simple explanation to know if I might be diabetic.Unlike most of these bloggers, I'm seeking help--no ins

A. First, it depends on your age: children and teen are more likely to develop type 1 diabetes, which may cause them to be thin, and usually present as emergency situation called DKA, including vomiting, urinating allot and other disturbances. Adult, obese people are more likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, which may initially begin as urinating large volume and drinking large amounts of fluids to compensate.

However, diabetes is usually a silent disease, and the best way to diagnose or to rule out diabetes is by measuring the level of sugar in the blood after 8 hours fasting.
