system: How can you avoid high-fat foods if you have type 2 diabetes?
output: A little fat is good for you, assuming you choose the right kinds. You should limit saturated fats (found in meat and dairy products) and avoid trans fats completely. But monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are healthy. In fact, certain high-fat foods seem to help people who have diabetes. Eating nuts along with higher-carb foods may prevent blood sugar levels from going up too sharply. Other studies have shown that people who eat avocados are less likely to get metabolic syndrome. That's a cluster of symptoms that includes high blood sugar. Just remember to keep portion sizes small. The calories can add up quickly.
system: Is it healthy for people with diabetes to drink juice?
output: Natural doesn't always mean healthy. One cup of apple juice, for example, has 25 grams of sugar and just 0.5 grams of fiber. An apple, on the other hand, has less sugar (19 grams) and more fiber (4.5 grams). It will satisfy you longer and help stabilize your blood sugar. What's more, a study found that drinking juice every day can raise the risk of getting diabetes.
system: How should you swap meals for meal replacement bars to manage type 2 diabetes?
output: Losing weight can help, and meal replacement bars may seem like an easy way to slim down. Many meal replacement products are aimed at athletes. So they can be high in calories. Others contain ingredients like sugar alcohols (sorbitol and mannitol, for example), which can cause stomach trouble. Occasionally, munching on a bar for breakfast when you're pressed for time is OK as long as you pay attention to the nutrition info. But it's smarter to stick with real meals or calorie-restricted bars that are complete meals and nutritionally balanced .
system: How should you buy sugar-free foods to manage type 2 diabetes?
output: The supermarket is full of things that appear to be diabetes-friendly because they don't have added sugar. But many have sugar substitutes that contain carbs. That means they could send your blood sugar levels soaring. Before you put something in your cart, check the nutrition facts to see how many grams of carbs are in each serving and how much sugar is added.
system: Are 100-calorie snack packs healthy for people with diabetes?
output: They may seem like they're good for you, but they could actually be sabotaging your efforts. So they can be high in calories. One study found that overweight people who rely on diet soda end up taking in more calories from food. So be honest with yourself: Can you really stop after one?
system: What causes neurofibromatosis?
output: Neurofibromatosis is often inherited (passed on by family members through our genes), but about 50% of people newly diagnosed with the disorder have no family history of the condition, which can arise spontaneously through a mutation (change) in the genes. Once this change has taken place, the mutant gene can be passed on to future generations.
system: What is the outlook for a person with neurofibromatosis?
output: Often, the symptoms of NF1 are mild and people who have it are able to lead full and productive lives. Sometimes, however, pain and deformity can result leading to significant disability. The outlook for people with NF2 depends of the person's age at onset of the diseases and on the number and location of tumors. Some can be life-threatening. Often, those with schwannomatosis have severe pain, and this can be very debilitating.
system: How can you raise your blood sugar level if you have low blood sugar (hyperglycemia)?
output: Give the person a high-sugar food such as: ½ cup fruit juice ½ cup regular (non diet) soda pop 3 glucose tablets Then follow with a more substantial food like a sandwich that offers protein, fat, and complex carbohydrates. If non-diabetic hypoglycemia is recurrent, see a health care provider.
system: When should I call 911 for low blood sugar?
output: A person who has low blood sugar not related to diabetes loses consciousness.
system: How is anaphylaxis treated?
output: Inhalers and antihistamines won't work. Epinephrine reverses the more serious problems with breathing (wheezing and shortness of breath and the dangerous drop in blood pressure seen in anaphylaxis). The faster it is given, the better. If you're allergic to insect stings or any of the foods that cause anaphylaxis, or if you ever have had an anaphylactic reaction, ask your doctor to prescribe an epinephrine injection kit. Carry two injections at all times, and know how to use them. Make sure your family members, friends, and colleagues know the signs of anaphylaxis and can give you an injection if they need to. Don't hesitate to use it if you start to show any symptoms of anaphylaxis. It won't hurt you to take the shot as a precaution.
system: What can lower risks of atherosclerosis?
output: Both medications and changes in lifestyle can improve cholesterol level and reduce the risks that come with atherosclerosis: Exercise with or without weight loss increases "good" HDL cholesterol and reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes. A diet high in fiber and low in fats can lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. Oily fish and other foods high in omega 3 fatty acids can raise âgoodâ HDL cholesterol. Statins are the medicines most-often prescribed for high cholesterol. They can dramatically lower "bad" LDL cholesterol, by up to 60% or more. They can also increase HDL.
system: Can statins help with atherosclerosis?
output: Studies have shown that statins can reduce the rates of heart attacks, strokes, and death from atherosclerosis. But to be effective, statins need to be part of a larger personalized strategy you and your doctor work out together. Among other things, that strategy will be based on your level of risk for heart attack and stroke as well as your own personal life-style choices. If you know or think your cholesterol is high or if you have a family history of high cholesterol, talk to your doctor about ways you can lower it.
system: What should my blood glucose levels be if I am diabetic and pregnant?
output: Keep blood glucose levels within the ideal range: 70 to 100 mg/d L before meals Less than 120 mg/d L 2 hours after eating 100-140 mg/d L before your bedtime snack Use your meals, exercise, and diabetes medications to keep a healthy balance.
system: What are the risks of diabetes in pregnancy?
output: Other medical tests can help prevent complications during pregnancy: Urinalysis to check for kidney problems Cholesterol and triglyceride blood tests Eye exam to see if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or retinopathy Electrocardiogram Blood work to make sure your kidneys and liver are working Foot exam High blood sugar levels early in the pregnancy (before 13 weeks) can cause birth defects. They also can increase the risks of miscarriage and diabetes-related complications. But many women don't know they're pregnant until the baby has been growing for 2 to 4 weeks. That's why you should have good control of your blood sugar before you start trying to conceive.
system: What can I expect the effects of my diabetes to be on my baby when he or she is born?
output: If you regularly have high blood sugar levels while you're pregnant (and especially in the 24 hours before delivery), your baby may get dangerously low blood sugar right after they're born. Their insulin is based on your high sugar, and when it's suddenly taken away, their blood sugar level drops quickly and they'll need glucose to balance it out. Their calcium and magnesium levels may be off, too. Those can be fixed with medication. Some babies are too big to be delivered vaginally, and you'll need a cesarean delivery or c-section. Your doctor will keep an eye on your baby's size so you can plan for the safest way to give birth.
system: Should I change my diet if I am pregnant and have diabetes?
output: Changing what and how you eat will help you avoid problems with your blood sugar levels. You'll also need to include more calories for your growing baby. Your doctor or diabetes educator can help you figure out how to do that safely.
system: How can you prepare for diabetes and pregnancy?
output: A pre-conception counseling appointment will help you be physically and emotionally prepared for pregnancy. Meet with your doctor to find out if your diabetes is controlled well enough for you to stop your birth control method. A blood test called the glycosylated hemoglobin test ( Hb A1c, or just A1c) can show how well it's been going over the past 8 to 12 weeks.
system: What can high blood sugar levels early in pregnancy cause?
output: Other medical tests can help prevent complications during pregnancy: Urinalysis to check for kidney problems Cholesterol and triglyceride blood tests Eye exam to see if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or retinopathy Electrocardiogram Blood work to make sure your kidneys and liver are working Foot exam High blood sugar levels early in the pregnancy (before 13 weeks) can cause birth defects. They also can increase the risks of miscarriage and diabetes-related complications. But many women don't know they're pregnant until the baby has been growing for 2 to 4 weeks. That's why you should have good control of your blood sugar before you start trying to conceive.
system: What medical tests can help prevent complications during pregnancy?
output: Other medical tests can help prevent complications during pregnancy: Urinalysis to check for kidney problems Cholesterol and triglyceride blood tests Eye exam to see if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or retinopathy Electrocardiogram Blood work to make sure your kidneys and liver are working Foot exam High blood sugar levels early in the pregnancy (before 13 weeks) can cause birth defects.
system: Can I keep using my diabetes medications if I am pregnant?
output: If you use insulin to control your diabetes, your doctor can tell you how to adjust your dose. Your body will probably need more while you're pregnant, especially during the last 3 months. If you take a pill, you may need to switch to insulin. It may not be safe to use some drugs, or you may get better sugar control.
system: Do most women with mild diabetes carry their baby to full-term?
output: Women with well controlled diabetes often go full-term without any problems. However, many doctors prefer to plan for an early delivery, usually around weeks 38-39.
system: What tests can help prevent diabetes-related pregnancy complications?
output: Other medical tests can help prevent complications during pregnancy: Urinalysis to check for kidney problems Cholesterol and triglyceride blood tests Eye exam to see if you have glaucoma, cataracts, or retinopathy Electrocardiogram Blood work to make sure your kidneys and liver are working Foot exam High blood sugar levels early in the pregnancy (before 13 weeks) can cause birth defects.
system: Will you carry your baby to term if you have diabetes and are pregnant?
output: Women with well controlled diabetes often go full-term without any problems. However, many doctors prefer to plan for an early delivery, usually around weeks 38-39.
system: How will your medications change during pregnancy?
output: If you use insulin to control your diabetes, your doctor can tell you how to adjust your dose. Your body will probably need more while you're pregnant, especially during the last 3 months. If you take a pill, you may need to switch to insulin. It may not be safe to use some drugs, or you may get better sugar control.
system: How will my diabetes affect labor?
output: It may not be safe to use some drugs, or you may get better sugar control. Labor can be a stressful time for you and the baby. If you've been using insulin during your pregnancy, insulin needs will continue through labor. Right after delivery, your need for insulin will likely drop quickly.
system: What are the effects of diabetes on pregnancy?
output: If you're thinking about having a baby, take steps to lessen the risks for both you and your child. If you regularly have high blood sugar levels while you're pregnant (and especially in the 24 hours before delivery), your baby may get dangerously low blood sugar right after they're born. Changing what and how you eat will help you avoid problems with your blood sugar levels.
system: Does diabetes affect pregnancies?
output: If you're thinking about having a baby, take steps to lessen the risks for both you and your child. If you regularly have high blood sugar levels while you're pregnant (and especially in the 24 hours before delivery), your baby may get dangerously low blood sugar right after they're born. Changing what and how you eat will help you avoid problems with your blood sugar levels.
system: How will your blood sugar change during labor and delivery if you have diabetes?
output: It may not be safe to use some drugs, or you may get better sugar control. Labor can be a stressful time for you and the baby. If you've been using insulin during your pregnancy, insulin needs will continue through labor. Right after delivery, your need for insulin will likely drop quickly.
system: How are blood tests used to diagnose adenocarcinoma?
output: Your blood may show signs of possible cancer. For example, your doctor may check it to see if you have anemia from a bleeding tumor. Also, high levels of some enzymes or other things made by cancer cells might mean canceer is likely.
system: How is adenocarcinoma diagnosed?
output: You could have symptoms like pain, diarrhea, bleeding, or fatigue, depending on your type of cancer. But early on, you may not feel that anything's wrong. Your doctor will give you a physical exam. He may feel your organs to see if there is any swelling or a growth. He may also notice something's not right when you have regular screening tests like a colonoscopy, when a doctor puts a tube into your colon to check for polyps.
system: How does adenocarcinoma start in the prostate?
output: This is a gland in men that's just below the bladder. It helps make some of the fluid that protects sperm cells. Adenocarcinoma starts in the cells that make this fluid. Most prostate cancers are this type.
system: What can be affected by adenocarcinoma?
output: Adenocarcinoma can happen in many places, like your colon, breasts, esophagus, lungs, pancreas, or prostate.
system: How does adenocarcinoma start in the esophagus?
output: This is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Adenocarcinoma usually starts in mucus glands that line the lower part of your esophagus.
system: How does adenocarcinoma start in the lungs?
output: Adenocarcinoma makes up about 40% of lung cancers. It's most often found in the outer part of the lungs and grows more slowly than other types of lung cancer. You usually get it if you're a smoker or used to be one.
system: How are imaging tests used to diagnose adenocarcinoma?
output: They can help see if any of the tissues in your organs don't look normal. You may get a CT scan, which is a powerful X-ray that makes detailed pictures inside your body. Or you might need an MRI, which uses powerful magnets and radio waves to make pictures of organs and tissues. If you do have cancer and start treatment, imaging tests can also help your doctor learn how well your treatment is working.
system: How does adenocarcinoma start in the pancreas?
output: This is an organ in the back of your belly, behind your stomach. It makes hormones and enzymes that help digest food. About 85% of pancreatic cancers are caused by adenocarcinoma. These tumors start in the ducts of this organ.
system: How does adenocarcinoma start in the colon and rectum?
output: It's a long tube that helps remove water and nutrients from the food you eat. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of colon cancer. It starts out as a small polyp, or growth, that's usually harmless at first but can turn into cancer. The disease can also start in your rectum, the part of your large intestine where the leftover waste from digested food, called stool, gets pushed out of your body.
system: What are the side effects of adenocarcinoma treatment?
output: Your cancer treatment can have side effects. You might get very tired or feel like you need to throw up. Your doctor can suggest ways to manage these problems. He may prescribe drugs that fight nausea.
system: How is a biopsy used to diagnose adenocarcinoma?
output: Your doctor takes a small sample of tissue from the organ where he thinks you may have cancer. For example, he may remove a polyp or growth from your colon, or use a small needle to remove tissue from your breast. A doctor called a pathologist will look at it under a microscope to see if there are cancer cells. A biopsy can also show if they are just in that one organ, have spread from another place in your body, or how much they've grown.
system: How is surgery used to treat adenocarcinoma?
output: Your first treatment will probably be to remove the tumor and tissue around it. Your doctor can then look at the tissue to see if you're cured or if there still may be cancer cells in your body. You may need to combine other treatments with surgery to make sure your cancer is gone.
system: What can you do to manage adenocarcinoma?
output: If you do have cancer and start treatment, imaging tests can also help your doctor learn how well your treatment is working. They can be a huge source of support. Check the web site of the American Cancer Society. You can find out about local support groups, where you'll meet people who have the same type of cancer as you and can share their experience.
system: How does adenocarcinoma start in the breasts?
output: The disease can also start in your rectum, the part of your large intestine where the leftover waste from digested food, called stool, gets pushed out of your body. Most prostate cancers are this type.
system: How can you get adenocarcinoma?
output: You get adenocarcinoma when cells in the glands that line your organs grow out of control. They may spread to other places and harm healthy tissue. If you do have cancer and start treatment, imaging tests can also help your doctor learn how well your treatment is working.
system: What can you do to help with a broken wrist?
output: Regular X-rays to make sure your wrist is healing normally You will probably also want to: Elevate your wrist on a pillow or the back of a chair above the level of your heart for the first few days. This will ease pain and swelling. Ice the wrist. Do this for 15-20 minutes every two to three hours for two to three days. Be careful to keep the splint or cast dry while icing. Take over-the-counter painkillers. Ask your doctor about nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin (except for children). They can help with pain and swelling. However, these drugs have side effects, such as an increased risk of bleeding and ulcers. They should be used only occasionally unless your doctor specifically says otherwise, as this may delay healing. Practice stretching and strengthening exercises of the fingers, elbow, and shoulder if your doctor recommends them.
system: What is a prosthetic eye?
output: Your doctor will decide which method to use based on: type of eye condition you have degree of damage to the eye A prosthetic eye can improve the appearance of the affected eye socket. For most people it is vastly preferable to wearing an eye patch or bandage.
system: How does a prosthetic eye function after surgery?
output: A prosthetic eye moves, but often not as fully or briskly as your other healthy eye. The pupil in a prosthetic eye does not change in response to light. So the pupils of the two eyes may appear unequal. The eye socket may continue to change shape after surgery. Additional fitting and adjustment of the prosthesis may be necessary for weeks or months after initial placement.
system: Why might an eye be removed?
output: Some of the reasons why an eye may be removed are: injury glaucoma infection inside the eye eye tumors There are two surgical methods for removing a damaged eye.
system: For how long am I contagious if I have a cold?
output: Cold symptoms usually last for about a week. During the first three days that you have cold symptoms, you are contagious.
system: What is the best way to prevent colds and the flu?
output: Hand washing by rubbing the hands with warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds helps to slough germs off the skin. In addition to hand washing to prevent flu or cold symptoms, you can also get a flu vaccine to prevent seasonal influenza.
system: What kind of mucus is associated with a cold?
output: With cold symptoms, the nose teems with watery nasal secretions for the first few days. Later, these become thicker and darker. Dark mucus is natural and does not usually mean you have developed a bacterial infection, such as a sinus infection.
system: How can you know if you have the flu or a common cold?
output: Take your temperature, say many experts. Flu symptoms often mimic cold symptoms with nasal congestion, cough, aches, and malaise. But a common cold rarely has symptoms of fever above 101 degrees. With flu symptoms, you will probably have a fever initially with the flu virus and you will feel miserable. Body and muscle aches are also more common with the flu.
system: What should I do if my fever isn't going away?
output: If you already have flu or cold symptoms, it's important to call your doctor if you also have any of the following severe symptoms: Persistent fever: A fever lasting more than three days can be a sign of another bacterial infection that should be treated.
system: What flu or cold symptoms are emergencies for adults?
output: In some cases, you may need to get emergency medical attention right away. In adults, signs of a crisis include: Severe chest pain Severe headache Shortness of breath Dizziness Confusion Persistent vomiting In children, additional signs of an emergency are: Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing Bluish skin color Not drinking enough fluids Lethargy and failure to interact normally Extreme irritability or distress Symptoms that were improving and then suddenly worsen Fever with a rash The most important prevention measure for preventing colds and flu is frequent hand washing.
system: What should I do if I have a severe sore throat?
output: Painful swallowing: Although a sore throat from a cold or flu can cause mild discomfort, severe pain could mean strep throat, which requires treatment by a doctor.
system: When should I take my child to the hospital for the flu or a cold?
output: In some cases, you may need to get emergency medical attention right away. In adults, signs of a crisis include: Severe chest pain Severe headache Shortness of breath Dizziness Confusion Persistent vomiting In children, additional signs of an emergency are: Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing Bluish skin color Not drinking enough fluids Lethargy and failure to interact normally Extreme irritability or distress Symptoms that were improving and then suddenly worsen Fever with a rash The most important prevention measure for preventing colds and flu is frequent hand washing.
system: How do symptoms of a cold progress?
output: If cold symptoms begin quickly and are improving after a week, then it is usually a cold, not allergy. Flu symptoms often mimic cold symptoms with nasal congestion, cough, aches, and malaise. But a common cold rarely has symptoms of fever above 101 degrees. Body and muscle aches are also more common with the flu.
system: What should I do if my cold isn't going away?
output: If cold symptoms do not seem to be improving after a week, you may have a bacterial infection, which means you may need antibiotics. If your cold symptoms do not seem to be getting better after a week, check with your doctor to see if you have developed an allergy or sinusitis.
system: How does the flu spread?
output: Several hundred different viruses may cause your cold symptoms. In addition to hand washing to prevent flu or cold symptoms, you can also get a flu vaccine to prevent seasonal influenza.
