If you have diabetes (formally ‘diabetes mellitus’) then your doctor should have helped you to devise and eating plan that will lessen symptoms of diabetes and work with rather than against the medication you are taking. However this diet plan will not likely cover every type of food, and understanding why a certain diet works and how diabetes effects your body can help you to make informed decisions of your own outside of the diet. Furthermore it can help you to feel more involved in the procedure and more invested once you know the whys behind what you are doing.
Diabetes is a condition caused by an excess of glucose in your blood. This occurs due to other problems with the body’s insulin – insulin being the hormone that instructs the body to turn glucose into energy. In a type one diabetic the insulin simply is not being produced enough due to damage to the pancreas (usually caused by the individual’s own immune system) while in a type two it is due to the body becoming insensitive to the insulin it does produce. This then results in extra glucose which can then cause various other problems to the body – damaging the nerves and causing other complications. Meanwhile the lack of insulin itself can also cause difficulties leaving the patient unable to convert their glucose into energy. Doctors will treat this condition with anti-diabetic drugs including insulin to replace the missing insulin in the blood and thereby use the spare glucose.

Diabetes is a condition that is caused by an abundance of glucose in the blood which comes as a result of insufficient insulin (insulin being a hormone that causes the cells in the liver, muscle and fat tissue to take up glucose in order to convert into ATP to be used as energy). In type one diabetes this is due to a failure in the pancreas to produce the hormone (after the pancreas is damaged by the body’s own immune system), while in type two it is caused by the body’s failure to respond to the insulin. This excessive glucose then leads to further complications such as excessive urination and thirst, nerve damage (which presents itself as tingling in the extremities), vision problems, tiredness and more.

Summer’s fun has faded and now it’s time to crank up the heat, grab a cozy throw, wrap your cold hands around a cup of hot tea and perhaps curl up with a good book.
Well, that would be nice in a parallel universe. The thing is, you have to jump up early, make sure the family has a healthy breakfast, and get everyone out the door in one piece. And… you’re faced with frigid weather conditions.
The last thing you need to worry about is the oh-so-dreadful sniffles, which then turn into a sore throat, accompanied by a nasty cough and fever, which inevitably represents lost wages you were counting on. Let’s not even talk about the growing pile of dirty laundry you can‘t bring yourself to do.

Parkinson disease is one example of a progressive illness. This means that as time passes, the symptoms get worse and are mostly irreversible. What this also means is that the early symptoms of Parkinson disease are usually very subtle but grow more pronounced as time passes. As a result, it can be difficult to define whether a person is suffering from the early stages of Parkinson disease or not.

A nerve is what causes us to be able to send and receive signals around our body. This means that it is responsible for both controlling our limbs and extremities as well as for giving us feedback in the form of tactile information and pain. A trapped nerve is, like it sounds, a case where the nerve gets trapped and is thereby ‘stuck’ under pressure. This might be a result of a bone or joint that is jutting out and trapping the nerve, or a muscle, or swelling. This then has one or more noticeable effects, either causing serious pain, lack of sensation, ‘tingling’ or a lack of movement – or several of these things combined.

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD or STV) which results in the infrequent outbreak of painful legions and boils around the genital area along with other symptoms. This is a variation of the cold sore virus (the cold sore virus is ‘oral herpes’ or HSV-1, genital herpes is HSV-2) and like the cold sore virus it cannot be cured, only controlled and managed.
