Q&A: Diabetic…?

Question by Best Bowler: Diabetic…?
I have heard that diabetic people have weaker healing power, why is that

Best answer:

Answer by greenmay
because their circulation isn’t as good coupled with possible nerve damage over time, they don’t get their immune system to the site of their trauma as fast as healthy people do and so their ability to heal themselves isn’t as good

see a doctor. since it’s summer, chances are it’s allergies. you need allergy medications. if you’ve been having this since the winter, you still need medication, but for something else.

Hi,
First try to relax. I know easier said than done sometimes. I have had same symptoms before. Doctor put me on Ranitidine for the heartburn which helped alot. She also said dehydration can cause the dizzy weak feeling along with the headache. Drink alot of water or maybe a Gatorade. Hope this helps.

Had a bad experience where a man touched me when I was dizzy & now I’m scared to go out?

Question by Olga: Had a bad experience where a man touched me when I was dizzy & now I’m scared to go out?
I was out with one of my really close friends from high-school and we went out to dinner and I had quite a few alcoholic drinks. I don’t drink that often so I get very dizzy even with only two alcohol drinks. We were having a good time dancing and the alcohol made me relax and not feel self-concious about dancing in front of strangers. There was this really cute man who I danced with and he said that I was very beautiful and I thought it was very sweet of him.

We danced for longer throughout the night and I started to become more comfortable with him. He asked me to come outside with him and I did, believing that nothing would happen anyway, but when we were outside he touched me inappropriately and I told him to please stop so he did. By that time I was feeling really sick from drinking too much and a bit nauseous with my nerves so I sat down for a moment and he started touching me again and groping my private areas.

I was kind of confused about the whole thing, I think I was mostly in shock than anything because he asked me afterwards to come with him over to his car and obviously I didn’t want to do it because I felt so violated and that he just violated my trust and my body by doing that, I guess maybe I’m a frigid or something so I went back inside.

Now I realize it was absolutely stupid of me to go out and trust this person that I didn’t even know that well and now I’m scared to go out in public or out with friends in places where they serve alcohol. I really hate myself now and can’t believe I did something so stupid. I’m eighteen and I know alot of girls my age are doing this stuff but I’m not even ready for that and I’m so scared now. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

I can’t even talk to my parents about it because I dont want them to freak out and for my dad to tell the police or something and think that I was messing around with men. The man just really violated my privacy and I know it was probably my fault, but I’m so scared to go out now. I feel like crying just thinking about it, discusting. I cant talk to anyone so think is kind of my only option right now..

That man’s behaviour was disgusting, but you’re not! I guess you didn’t even know how to expect the effect of the alcohol, but at least now you know better — and it could’ve been much worse. If you’re still traumatised by the incident I suggest you get some kind of psychiatrist for a while, it may help you out a lot. But just don’t do it again – if this only happened once, it’s not your fault.
Next time ask a girlfriend to help you out of a sticky situation, and try not to drink if it affects you so badly.

What does it mean if a 73 year old diabetic man gets up at night trembling, and dizzy(drunk effect).?

Question by beck: What does it mean if a 73 year old diabetic man gets up at night trembling, and dizzy(drunk effect).?
This happend to my father, when that happend I walked him back to his bedroom. I checked his blood sugar and it was at 316, I checked it a second time, it was 300. I assumed the reading accurate, so I gave him 7units of insulin. Is it normal to have the syptoms I described for having his blood sugar so high? Please let me know, thank you so much.

Best answer:

Answer by tom4bucs
is he Diabetic 1 or 2

300 is HIGH – had he taken his insulin at supper – usually check after 2 hours after eating – and if over 200 a D2 takes insulin

you may need to talk to his doctor and get the low down

newly diagnosed diabetics can attend a class – usually 2 days
insurance will pay for it – and you can usually bring a guest

you learn what to eat – the differences D1-D2, and what the meds do

I have to eat something before I go to bed at night – so the liver does not DUMP a load of sugar in – - –
it’s the store house – and when the body needs sugar it just ‘rings the bell’ and the liver doesn’t calculate – uh needs 10 – send 10 – it just knoiws there is a need and DUMPS could be 30 – and that could really drive your blood sugar up

may need to ask your dad’s doctor for the exact answers to these SUPER questions

have a great 2008
