Diabetes affects the ability to process the sugar consumed in foods and drinks, and if not monitored and treated, blood glucose will continue to rise until reaching critical levels (and complications).

There are two types, type 1, and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is predicated from being born with the condition. The body just doesn’t process glucose, whether it is an issue of insulin production, or receiver cells, etc. Type 2 is considered age onset diabetes and occurs as we age. Many times other factors contribute to type 2 diabetes, like obesity, and other factors. In this case one can move from insulin sensitivity and go straight to diabetes. Treatments vary for both conditions, however generally type 1 patients need insulin therapy, where as in severe type 2 cases patients will as well, but other borderline type 2 cases can be treated with other medications, weight loss and diet. The most essential tool then for the diabetic patient is the glucose monitor. This is used by pricking the finger tip and placing a drop of blood on a test trip to be analyzed by the monitor. The monitor takes a few seconds and gives a reading. You would then gauge your insulin and/or medication accordingly.

With the constant flow of testing supplies required for continued treatment, finding a wholesale diabetic supplies source can be a financially viable solution. If you are a Medicare patient as well, you may even qualify for free treatment supplies like diabetic test strips, blood glucose monitors, syringes etc. Look, ask and search online to find the best supplier for your needs.

Boppysgirl asked:

I am preparing to begin trying to conceive in 4 months. I have a family history of Type II diabetes, and previously had an 8lb 14 oz. boy (via emergency c-section)… I guess I am wondering about diet and nutrition advice for preconception that will head-off or decrease my chances of getting gestational diabetes once I am pregnant.

I am about 15-20 lbs over weight and am trying to lose that weight healthfully so as not to jeopardize my fertility on diet drugs and crash diets!!!
