Answer: Diabetes affects the way that blood sugar (glucose) is processed in your body. An essential energy source, glucose is present in the bloodstream after digesting food. Insulin, normally produced by the pancreas, assists the glucose out of the blood and distributes it to the liver cells, muscles, and fat, where it is turned into usable energy for the body. Diabetes is identified as Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes: This condition involves destruction of more than 90 percent of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, causing the pancreas to cease making insulin or to make very little. Type 1 diabetes tends to occur prior to the age of 30 and it may involve environmental factors and genetic predisposition. Type 2 diabetes: While the pancreas continues to produce insulin, or even higher levels of insulin, the body develops a resistance to the insulin, causing the insulin to not be used properly for the body's needs and blood sugar levels remain consistently too high. While this type of diabetes can occur in children and adolescents, it usually begins in people over 30 and becomes more common as people age. Being overweight is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes: This type of diabetes develops in some women during pregnancy. Left undiagnosed and/or untreated, serious side effects can injure the mother and affect the unborn child. Having gestational diabetes that resolves after delivery increases your chances of developing Type 2 Diabetes at some point of your life. Understanding how diabetes can disrupt your life can help motivate you to make the necessary lifestyle and diet changes to prevent the disease. Some of the complications from Type 2 Diabetes can be quite severe. Possible complications include: Lowered blood supply to the skin and nerves Fatty substances and blood clots clogging blood vessels (called Atherosclerosis) Heart failure, heart attack, or stroke Damage to the eyes, which may cause permanently poor vision Renal (kidney) failure Nerve damage (with numbness and pain and loss of function) Inflammation, infections and skin breakdown especially of the feet Angina (heart pain) Some of the factors that increase your risk for developing diabetes are within your control. Risk factors for diabetes that can be controlled with diet and lifestyle changes include: Obesity: Based on body mass index, a BMI over 29 increases your odds of diabetes to one in four. Losing weight can drastically reduce your odds of developing Type 2 Diabetes. A diagnosis of heart disease or high cholesterol: Cardiovascular risks include high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, and high LDL cholesterol, and a study showed that one in four people in Europe suffering from these risk factors were also pre-diabetics. Diet and exercise can both help reduce your risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Eating a diet high in sugar, cholesterol, fat, and processed food: Diet is tied closely to diabetes. Focus on eating healthier foods. Irregular or no exercise: Exercising less than 3 times per week increases your risk for diabetes. Work on integrating physical activity into your daily life. There are some risk factors for developing Type 2 Diabetes that are not within your control. However, being aware of these factors can help you assess your overall risk for developing the disease. Risk factors include: Being older than age 45: Note that pre-menopausal women are probably helped by the levels of estrogen, which helps to clear away fatty acids that cause insulin resistance, and helps insulin absorb glucose more rapidly. Having a parent, sibling, or other family member who has or did have Type 2 diabetes: This can indicate a family gene predisposing you to diabetes. Being of Hispanic, African American, Native American, Asian, or Pacific Islander descent: These subgroups are at almost double the risk of white Americans. Experiencing gestational diabetes during pregnancy: Up to 40 percent of women who experienced gestational diabetes are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Being born with a low birth weight: A low birth weight increases your chances of developing diabetes by 23 percent for babies born under 5.5 pounds and by 76 percent for babies under 5 pounds. High blood sugar can be corrected before lasting damage sets in. If you have the risk factors associated with diabetes, it is important to get regular blood or urine screening tests and to respond by controlling your lifestyle factors. If tests reveal that you have pre-diabetes, you have an increased chance of being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in the future. Pre-diabetes is a part of metabolic syndrome which is "a group of risk factors -- high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and abdominal fat." While such a diagnosis can be frightening, it's also an opportunity to take back your health and to slow, reverse, or avoid Type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes. Pre-diabetes exists where your blood glucose is higher than normal. It's a key indicator of metabolic breakdown taking place, which indicates a movement towards Type 2 Diabetes. Pre-diabetes is reversible, but left ignored, the American Diabetes Association warns that your odds for getting Type 2 diabetes within a decade are almost 100 percent. The CDC recommends that anyone aged 45 or over should be tested for diabetes especially if you're overweight., and people under 45 should be tested if they are overweight and have any other risk factor for diabetes. After 6 months of improving your diet and exercise habits, return for a test to see how your blood sugar levels have changed. Always keep monitoring with your doctor. Follow your doctor's advice. In rare cases, your doctor may recommend taking medication such as Metformin, to reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes. If you need help, consider speaking to a registered dietitian who can assist you with developing a meal plan.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know the Rules. Make sure your Pokemon are sufficiently prepared and trained. Persevere. Use your Battle Points (BP) wisely.

Answer: Although each battle facility has its own set of rules, the following rules apply to all facilities: Eggs are not allowed. In addition, the following Legendary Pokemon are ineligible to participate Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi and Deoxys. No duplicate items: Pokemon registered for a challenge cannot be holding two of the same item. For example, if you have a Pikachu and Electrike in your team, they both cannot be holding a Magnet. As long as this rule is observed, all items are allowed. No money or experience (Exp.) points will be awarded after a battle. Also, any Pokemon encountered in a facility will not be recorded in the Pokedex, even if you have never seen it before. The use of your Bag and any items included are prohibited during battle. Give your Pokemon any necessary items before beginning a challenge. Because the Battle Frontier is a dynamic area with different facilities and battling rules, you need to ensure that you have Pokemon specially trained for each facility. They need to have the proper Natures and moves, as well as any helpful Abilities. It is also advantageous to have your Pokemon EV trained. Find out more about EV training here: How to EV Train your Pokemon In order to face the Frontier Brain of a facility, you will need to achieve certain winning streaks. Depending on the facility, this may entail winning battles consecutively, or clearing a set amount of rooms or floors for each challenge. Because keeping a winning streak alive is a daunting task, it may take a while before you can encounter a Frontier Brain for either the Silver or Gold Symbol challenge. Don't give up! Should you earn all 7 Gold Symbols, your Trainer card will go up in rank. BP are awarded after each challenge, and the amount awarded will depend on the facility and how well you battle. These BP can be exchanged at the Exchange Service Corner for items, vitamins, or Secret Base decorations. Use your BP to purchase helpful items that will aid you in your challenges.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fill the detergent dispenser with white vinegar. Start a normal wash cycle on the hot water setting. Wipe down the exterior of your washer. Run an additional rinse cycle.

Answer:
Fill the detergent dispenser with 3/4 cup (177.44 ml) of vinegar or until the detergent dispenser is filled. The detergent dispenser is usually labeled and can be found on the top of your front load washing machine. Once it's filled, close the lid. If your front load washing machine doesn't have a hot water setting, select the "whites" setting or "stain" setting. Allow the cycle to run through completely. As the normal cycle runs, mix cup (90 g) of baking soda and 1 quart (1 liter) of white vinegar in a bucket. Once the ingredients are incorporated, use the solution to dampen a rag and use the rag to wipe down the exterior of the washer. Run a rinse cycle with no added vinegar or detergent. This should remove the smell of vinegar and help remove any remaining dirt. Once you're done, the washer should be good to use.
