Type 1 Diabetes: Symptoms, Causes and treatment - FFD

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces very little to no insulin. Type 1 diabetes (aka, juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes), usually develops in children, young adults and teens. It can happen at any age. Type 1 diabetes is less common than type 2. Only 5-10% of people with diabetes have type 1.

Diagnosing Diabetes: A Comprehensive Guide

Hey there! Welcome to our ultimate guide on diagnosing diabetes. We’re all about providing you with the latest and most accurate info on health topics, and today, we’re diving into the world of diabetes diagnosis. So whether you suspect you might have diabetes or you just want to expand your knowledge, this article is the place to be. Let’s start by understanding what diabetes is all about. It’s…

Even with comparatively minor disabilities flying sucks. I have type 1 diabetes and for years my parents were terrified tsa wouldnt let my insulin through. My dad would print out the tsa guidelines saying insulin was ok and bring them with us just in case they tried anything

my father has been type 1 since before I was born (so technically I owe my existence to insulin, god fucking bless), so I feel like you are family already. I have a handful of memories of sitting on one side of TSA with my twin as a child, waiting for him as they tested his pump for explosive residue or whatever and him telling us to board the plane without him (again — as a child!) if he didn’t make it thru before boarding ended

the harassment diabetics have to endure from TSA/security/etc is so frustrating and angering. we should really be teaching people about common medical devices in school. pumps should be so so normal

As someone who has had diabetes for “only” around three years I really don’t understand how dangerous it can be. I have read people’s stories on how they deal with low bloodsugars and their stories about their trips to hospitals, but I am still yet to find people with type 1, who don’t understand the hassle. I know it’s serious, but I don’t know how serious it should be taken as.

See, most often when my bloodsugar goes low, I sort of like it. It makes me feel really light and blissful. I haven’t really told anyone this as everyone says that low bloodsugars are really dangerous. I have never passed out, and for that I am thankful, but maybe I need that scare for me to take this illness seriously. No one has never needed to keep me conscious or feed me when I’ve had hypos, and everyone turns super serious whenever I tell them what to do if, I pass out, and that is something I don’t understand. 

I hope that someone else can somehow relate to whatever I’m trying to say here. 

Also stay safe and take care of yourselves!

TYPE 1 DIABETIC PRIDE FLAG

Flags: Type 1 Diabetic with diabetes circle symbol | Ditto without symbols

T1D: Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose (sugar) level is too high because your body can’t make a hormone called insulin. This happens because your body attacks the cells in your pancreas that make the insulin, meaning you can’t produce any at all.

VITAMINS THAT CAN LOWER BLOOD SUGAR QUICKLY

Balancing blood sugar levels is crucial for maintaining overall health, especially for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition. While diet, exercise, and medication play primary roles in managing blood sugar, certain vitamins and supplements can also significantly impact glucose control. This article explores vitamins known for their potential to lower blood sugar levels quickly and efficiently.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D plays a pivotal role in blood sugar regulation by enhancing the body's sensitivity to insulin, the hormone responsible for managing blood glucose levels. Insulin resistance is a common issue in individuals with type 2 diabetes, where the body fails to use insulin effectively, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Studies suggest that maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D can improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar, thus aiding in diabetes management.

Sources of Vitamin D:

Sunlight exposure

Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, and sardines)

Fortified foods (milk, orange juice, and cereals)

Vitamin D supplements

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)

Thiamine is essential for glucose metabolism, helping convert carbohydrates into energy. People with diabetes often have low levels of thiamine, which can contribute to higher blood sugar levels and complications. Thiamine supplements, particularly in the form of benfotiamine (a lipid-soluble derivative of thiamine), have been shown to improve glucose metabolism and reduce the risk of developing diabetes-related complications.

Sources of Vitamin B1:

Whole grains

Pork

Nuts and seeds

Legumes

Thiamine supplements, including benfotiamine

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

Niacin, or vitamin B3, influences blood sugar control indirectly through its role in converting food into energy. However, high doses of niacin can increase blood sugar levels, making it necessary for individuals with diabetes or those at risk to consult a healthcare provider before taking niacin supplements.

Sources of Vitamin B3:

Turkey

Chicken breast

Peanuts

Mushrooms

Supplements, with medical guidance

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, an antioxidant, can lower blood sugar levels and help manage diabetes by improving glucose metabolism and protecting cells from damage caused by excess sugar in the blood. Research indicates that vitamin C supplementation can help reduce fasting blood sugar levels and improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.

Sources of Vitamin C:

Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, and grapefruits)

Kiwi

Strawberries

Bell peppers

Supplements

Magnesium

Though not a vitamin, magnesium is a crucial mineral that aids in blood sugar control. It plays a significant role in glucose metabolism and insulin action. Low levels of magnesium are linked to insulin resistance, a condition often preceding type 2 diabetes. Increasing magnesium intake through diet or supplements can improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Sources of Magnesium:

Spinach

Pumpkin seeds

Almonds

Avocado

Supplements

Chromium

Another essential mineral for blood sugar regulation is chromium. It enhances the action of insulin and is involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Some studies suggest that chromium supplementation can have a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, especially for those with diabetes.

Sources of Chromium:

Broccoli

Whole grains

Green beans

Nuts

Supplements

Conclusion

While vitamins and minerals can support blood sugar management, they should complement, not replace, standard treatments such as medication, a balanced diet, and regular physical activity. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have diabetes or other health conditions, to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your specific health needs. By integrating these vitamins and minerals into a holistic approach to health, individuals can achieve better blood sugar control and improve their overall well-being.

Ever woke up unable to move, very nauseous, shaky, and just all in all feeling like shit but unable to check your blood sugar because you are out of test strips and monitors and your sensor failed?

Yeah. That's what happened to me this morning

Is this something that is wanted?

Hey internet, 

So I have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for 25 years and it has been a rollercoaster (but we wont get into this here). 

I have come out on top of this, but when I was struggling (and when I still do) I found a lot other diabetics being really “inspiration porny” and overly positive (if that makes sense) about it.  I also found that people shared an unrealistic and dramatized version of what living with diabetes is like.  I didn’t really resonate with this and found myself really disconnected from the diabetic world as a result. 

I am now in a place where I can share what I have been through and my realistic (and hopefully humorous yet useful) experiences as someone who hates regular exercise, thinks dieting is stupid and is a frequent speaker of the phrase “oh sh*t I forgot my insulin”).

Is this a thing that the internet is interested in reading?

Diabetes: Types, causes, and related disorders

When glucose in the bloodstream exceeds the permissible level, it results in high blood sugar. This high blood sugar leads to further complications like vision loss, disorders of the circulatory system, nervous system, and immune system. Diabetes impacts health in several ways, over time. Some of these are considered chronic and debilitating, while some of them can be cured.
