It depends how severe the case is.
Mine is controlled by my diet....so has very little effect on my family.
Even the insulin dependant ones can eat fairly normally...if they watch carbs.
Type ONE is a whole different story.
Kids with the disease have a very hard time, and family members must be trained to recognize warning signs of both high & low blood sugar.
This type is far more deadly if not properly treated. But they can still lead a normal life with some vigilance applied.
Can I enjoy vitamin b12 injections if I be aware of tired adjectives the time?
The person who is a diabetic has a body that can not metabolize carbs - the carbs are what becomes glucose to energize the body.
The diabetic needs insulin to metabolize the carbs, too much insulin and the body runs out of glucose and the diabetic can go into insulin shock.
Not enough insulin and the body just pees out the carbs and they don't get any fuel to run the body - this is called a diabetic coma.
So they have to keep track of what they eat, their glucose level and the amount of insulin they need to process it. They have to eat on a regular basis.
This lady at my work may be infected with TB and she doesn't stop talking?
Diabetes affects the life of a person because they can only eat certian foods. After every meal they have to give themselves insulin through a shot or pump and they always have to check their blood sugar. It gets annoying. My brother has it and he hates it.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune disorder-a problem with the body's immune system. In a healthy body, specialized cells (called beta cells) in the pancreas make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that allows the body to use energy from food. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakes beta cells for invaders and attacks them. When enough beta cells are destroyed, symptoms of diabetes appear.
In type 2 diabetes, the beta cells still produce insulin. However, either the cells do not respond properly to the insulin or the insulin produced naturally is not enough to meet the needs of the body. So insulin is usually still present in a person with type 2 diabetes, but it does not work as well as it should. Some people with type 2 can keep it under control by losing weight, changing their diet, and increasing their exercise. Others take one or more medications, including insulin.
It is entirely possible to manage diabetes very well.
This takes changes in your diet, which is the single biggest area in which it will affect the family of the patient (NOT VICTIM, PATIENT). Then again, these are positive changes, changes to a much healthier diet, so that these actually are positive changes.
You also need to change to a more active lifestyle, as exercise will help with the weight control that will help control your diabetes, as well as help with your diabetes directly. Once again, though, if your family joins you in this, it's a healthy choice all around.
You may need some meds to help you to manage your diabetes, but this has no impact on the family. You will also need to test your blood sugar regularly, but this, really, is nothing. It's a moment or so every time that it must be done. That has no effect on a family whatsoever. Although, when my niece was younger, she liked to help both her mother and myself to test our blood sugars by inserting a test strip into the glucometer and waiting with us for the reslt. (There are meters that can give you your result in as few as 5 seconds, so as I said, this one is no big deal.) That's certainly not an adverse change, thoough.
Here's what can change the life of the family of a diabetes patient.
If you don't get control of your diabetes, it will kill you in pieces. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney and liver disease and transplants in North America. It's the leading cause of blindness in North America. It's the leading cause of non-traumatic amputaions in North America. It's a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, of serious and even of deadly heart attacks and strokes in North America. Then, of course, there's the sexual disfunctions that go allong with uncontrolled diabetes.
So, we're not talking about a victim here, not unless you make yourself a victim. And we're not talking about any adverse changes to the family, unless, again you make yourself a victim. As well, we are not talkig about treatments but about management tools.
