My insulin Log

I am a teen/young adult. About 3 and a half months ago i became a vegetarian. Since then my health has decreased. It was slow to begin with and i didnt really pay much attention at first but in the past month my health has taken a turn for the worse. I experience bad headaches daily, weakness, fatigue, irritability, drowsiness, and shakiness especially in my hands and legs and feet. I know i do struggle with maintaining a healthy vegetarian diet. I went to the doctor and they did a blood test and it is being sent off and i have an appointment in a week. There, the doctors talked to me about anemia and juvenile diabetes. They did not specify which one they thought it would be. Juvenile diabetes nor anemia runs in my family. I just want to know what sounds most like what i have anemia or juvenile diabetes. i have done lots of research of symptoms of both, and i have experienced a lot of symptoms with diabetes such as constant thirst frequent urination, irritability, however i have not experienced that much weight loss. i can understand where i may have anemia because of lack of iron from no longer having meat in my diet, however rice does provide iron and rice is a major staple in my diet. i eat it daily. Which of these are you leaning towards. please help me i just would like to know some form of indication.

thank you so much!!

Does anyone have children with this disease? If so give me some symptoms that you noticed and what you did to find out.

I’m a 13 year old girl, and I have some of the symptoms of Type One diabetes.

Symptoms I currently have:
Dizziness,
Irregular Period,
Increased Hunger,
Blurred Vision,
Increased Thirst, especially for sweet and cold drinks such as Mountain Dew,
Dramatic Weight loss (from about 108 to 91 in about a week and a half)
Nausea,
Weakness (I could hardly stand in the shower today)

Could it be Juvenile diabetes?
Most of my dads side of the family has it, including my dad, but my dad has type 2, I don’t know what the rest of my family has, but I know most of my dads side has diabetes. If not diabetes, what are some other possible conditions/viruses?
Thanks

My dad just tested my blood sugar. Its 104. So he said I probably don’t have diabetes. But is there any thing else that might argue against my blood sugar? Like even because mmy blood sugar is normal is there still a chance I might have it?

I have always been quite slim my whole life but most recently my friends and my parents have been telling me that I look significantly thinner and my clothes have been kind of looser than usual (my mom even asked me if I was anorexic) and I’ve been not as fit as I was in PE (I’m on the track team) and I’ve been eating loads and loads of food, and I always crave drinking cold water… oh I’ve been peeing a lot too.
I wear contacts.. not sure if it has anything to do with this but today for some reason my right eye was blurry for the whole morning but it eventually went back to clear vision in the afternoon.
My dad has diabetes himself sooo……

:S

I have a nursing background(several years ago) so sometimes I tend to obsess about my children but all of a sudden my 4 year old is thirsty all the time and seems to be urinating alot. Of course it is summertime and he’s active so he will be drinking more and the result of that would be urinating more. What else should I be looking for and should I just go have him screened or should I monitor him for awhile longer.

my daughter is 7 months old and this disease runs in her fathers family

could I have juvinelle diabetes?

I have been drinking loads of water because my mouth feels dry (like two bottles in about an hour then a full cup) , I sometimes get dizzy or like see fuzzy when I stand up fro sitting and my hands get kinda numb sometimes..increased urination but mostly water because of the amount i drink

The Everything Parent’s Guide To Children With Juvenile Diabetes: Reassuring Advice for Managing Symptoms and Raising a Happy, Healthy Child

Does anyone have experience with juvenile diabetes? I’m a little worried about my one year old son. Type 1 diabetes runs in my husbands family, although most of his relatives were fine until they were in their 30s and 40s. I have noticed that my son acts desperately thirsty. When we give him a drink he finishes it quickly and cries until we give him more. He will drink until he is gagging. I just looked up the symptoms of juvenile diabetes and it mentioned labored breathing as well. Several people have mentioned to me that they thought it was strange that he is always out of breath. I just assumed it was because he is always running. Other than that he is a very healthy child. We just went to the doctor yesterday and she said that he looks fantastic. He is in the 97th percentile for height and very healthy 26lbs. He is very active and never sits down. Do I have reason to be concerned?
he just went for a well baby check. If you have kids you know it’s like in the Dr.’s office with a screaming 1 year old who just got shots and a doctor who doesn’t want to waste more than 5 minutes on you. I remembered to ask about the breathing (which she said not to worry about), but frankly I forgot about his drinking habits…

I need to present something for one of my classes and I am having trouble finding a good video that is no longer than 30 seconds and make people want to do something about it. Can anyone help?
thanks for those links. I really like that 4:45 or however long video. I cannot go over a minute and i need some time to sum it up and talk. I agree that its really hard to talk so much about it in such that short time but thats the assignment and its why im having so much trouble =/
thanks so much!!

I am considering going to Taiwan for a year or two to teach English, and most employers offer the National Health Insurance. I am concerned about getting blood glucose testing supplies, insulin pumps supplies, and insulin. Clearly there is diabetes in Taiwan, but between the language barrier and trying to explain specifically what I need, it’s been difficult to get answers.
Basically, what I’m trying to find out is if it will cost me an arm and a leg to get my diabetes supplies with the National Health Insurance as well as where I can get what I need, including a doctor’s prescription.
Thank you so much for any info you can offer!

I have a cousin that has juvenile diabetes. The family has no insurance and it probably over the income for a medical card/chips program.
