Patient discussion about solute.

Q. Type 2 Diabetics solution My uncle is suffering from type 2 diabetics and i want to know that is there any permanent solution for type 2 diabities. Very worried about weight loss too. Any one there to give us a permanent solution?

A. I read some where that Other than surgery to replace your pancreas, which is usually reserved for type 1 and not always effective anyway. The best way is through diet and weight control. You didn't mention if you are overweight or not. If so, losing the extra weight has proven to be a cure for many people -- so much so, that many insurances companies will now approve gastric surgery for overweight diabetics. In other cases, people who weren't completely cured were able to discontinue insulin and use oral medications instead. Diet and exercise are the most important ways of helping to manage type 2 diabetes. Of course, always talk with your doctor before beginning any diet or exercise routine. That's not just an expression -- he may need to adjust your medicine, and he should be aware of how and what you're doing.

If you aren't overweight and are insulin dependent, surgery may be the only "cure", but be aware there are risks.

Hope this helps! : )

Q. Can you suggest an immediate solution for this, please? My niece is 22 years old. She was very excited about being a single mother. She was staying with her boyfriend when she announced that she was pregnant. About 5 weeks of pregnancy she had a fight with her boyfriend that ended up in him shoving her. She fell violently to the ground. She is complaining of spotting and cramps. I am worried if anything has gone wrong. Can you suggest an immediate solution for this, please?

A. I want to add, that the physical act of violence done to her and the unborn child might have been criminal assault. If she or the unborn child were harmed, she could file charges. There is no excuse for the boyfriend's irresponsible behavior. If she is in any danger from this guy doing this again, she could seek help at a shelter for battered women, or even better staying with someone in her family.

Q. I am 34 weeks pregnant.I need some solution. Hi everyone. I need some suggestion here. I am hoping that someone could understand my problem and suggest me the best possible way. . I am 34 weeks pregnant and I came to know that my baby has descended into my pelvis. I did try calling the doctor but it seems that she does not take my calls seriously. Well to my shock, the ultrasound tech told me that she in her experience has never seen a baby so low and it could be possible only during prelabour. I have been having BP for some time now and I am getting worried day by day. To add to my worry, I am feeling sick and I am suffering from diarrhea for the past 3 days.. I can vouch that this could not be because of flu or just because of food. I could understand that my major source of worry is because of the doctor who has been just ignoring my pleas. Should I change the doctor? I need some solution.

A. Hey, Julie.. from your story I can say that you're 4 weeks away from your due date of delivery. But if you can't contact your doctor, I believe you can just consult your concern with another obgyn specialist there in your area or in hospital near you.

usually somewhere between two and four weeks before labor starts in first-time mothers, the fetus begins to settle down into the pelvis.

some of the pre labor signs and symptoms will include : more-often-contraction, bloody show, sensation of increasing pressure in the pelvis and rectum, diarrhea (just before the labor starts).
