gOt DIabEtES? YOu’re nOt alOne.Almost 24 million Americans share this diagnosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and statistics show it’s on the rise. But there’s a wealth of information out there to help you live a long, healthy life. The more you know, the better you’ll be at making life work for you.

let’s Get starteD:What is diabetes? It’s a disease that affects the insulin hormone production in your pancreas. Normally, your body breaks down the food you eat and changes it into glucose. Your pancreas then releases a hormone called insulin. Glucose + Insulin = Energy that fuels your body. But when you have diabetes, insulin is not generated or used properly. Consider the three main types of diabetes:

tYpe 1 Diabetes - is when the body stops making insulin. first signs usually appear in childhood and adolescence.

tYpe 2 Diabetes - the most common type happenswhen the body doesn’t make enough insulin or doesn’t use it properly, or both.

GestatiOnal Diabetes - occurs during pregnancy. Women diagnosed with this form have a 20% to 50% risk of developing another type of diabetes in 10 years.

If glucose levels are not managed properly in all three types of diabetes, the bloodstream can become flooded with glucose, which could lead to other serious complications.

Consult your doctor with any concerns. Should your physician suspect diabetes, a blood test can confirm the diagnosis and identify the type of diabetes in question.

Page 5: DR Diabetes Handbook

You can stay powered up and live a vibrant life beyond diabetes if you manage your blood sugar — or glucose levels. Use the following strategy to reduce, or even free yourself of symptoms altogether.

EmpOwEr yOurSElf wIth INfOrmatION Start with your doctor and ask questions. follow up with research your local library, or online from reputable and official sources. You’ll find these websites helpful: www.diabetes.org (American Diabetes Association - ADA) www.cdc.gov/diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) www.niddk.nih.gov or call 301-496-3583 (National Institute of Diabetes & Kidney Diseases)Take advantage of local support groups through your local hospital.

mONItOr gluCOSE lEvElS DaIly… according to your treatment plan and get A1C tests as ordered by your physician. Blood glucose targets recommended by the ADA are 70-130mg/dl before meals and less than 180 mg/dl two hours after the start of a meal. A free blood glucose chart is available on the inside back of this handbook or online at www.diabetes.org/uedocuments/ChooseGuide.pdf. Blood glucose can be checked on a daily basis by a meter that measures levels with a prick of your finger. Clean the area beforehand, as residue on your finger can throw off a reading.

researchers are fast at work on a variety of noninvasive monitoring devices that track blood glucose, such as ultrasound and wireless sensor chips that transmit data to a cell phone. for more information on monitors, visit the food and Drug Administration’s “Glucose meters and diabetes management” online section by clicking on it as you visit www.fda.gov/diabetes/glucose.html.

The A1C test is done at your doctor’s office and indicates your average 2 to 3 month blood glucose level. A result of 7% or more may require changes in treatment.

gEt a phySICal EvEry yEar… and take diabetes medications as per your doctor’s recommendations.

plaN mEalS IN aDvaNCE… and be physically active for 30 minutes every day. Consistency is key. eat meals consistently, using the same portions of proteins, carbs, and healthy fats (see page 19 for more on nutrition).

It’s important to log results.

The results can guide you as

you plan meals, exercise, and

take medications. It can also

indicate if your treatment plan is working or needs

adjustment.

Whether you’ve been newly diagnosed with diabetes or have coped with the disease for quite some time, you probably know that the condition can impact virtually every aspect of your health. The good news is that good blood glucose control can often stave off many health complications for a very long time — if not forever.

tummy troubleWhen people think of common diabetes complications, stomach problems don’t often come to mind. Yet both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are among the major causes of gastroparesis, or delayed gastric emptying. Diabetes can damage the vagus nerve, which controls the movement of food through the digestive tract, and can prevent the stomach muscles and intestines from working normally. When the movement of food slows down or stops completely, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux and abdominal bloating can result. Gastroparesis also makes glucose control much more difficult because the stomach empties slowly or unpredictably. and depression, weight gain and an increased difficulty losing weight could be signs of hypothyroidism.

Cushing’s Syndrome is a rare disorder that occurs due to an excessive amount of the hormone cortisol in the body. Symptoms can vary, but most people are more likely to have a rounded face, increased fat around the neck and upper

body obesity. It can also be brought on by hormones taken for asthma, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases as well as for immunosuppression therapy after organ transplants.

In addition to these conditions, weight gain can be brought on by insulin therapy for type 2 diabetes, and certain antiseizure, antidepressant and antipsychotic medications.

Our emotional connectionWhether it’s dinner with the family, or a festive celebration, food helps to create a jovial, engaging atmosphere in which family and friends share good times. But for some, the comfort and security of food can create a painful struggle. Overeating and a number of other eating disorders can be attributed to — or even be the result of — anxiety, stress, low self-esteem or excessive alcohol use.

If you think there may be an emotional and/or social obstacle in the way of you or a loved one obtaining and maintaining a healthy weight, don’t be afraid to seek professional counseling. Talking to someone could save your life and open doors to a happy, healthy world for you.

regulating insulin levels tightly, eating six small meals a day and substituting some liquid meals for solid foods can help control gastroparesis. Your doctor may also recommend avoiding both high fat foods (which slow digestion) and high fiber foods (which are difficult to digest). finally, drugs like metoclopramide and erythromycin, which stimulate the stomach to empty more efficiently and control both nausea and vomiting, are also quite effective.

List your questions, including any on blood glucose patterns.

Bring a calendar with symptoms documented, your blood glucose chart (see page 23), and any other necessary notes.

Take your blood glucose monitor, a tape recorder, notebook, and a pencil. Have a loved one also attend the appointment.

Place medications you’re taking (including over-the-counter drugs and vitamins) in a bag and bring this, along with your medication log.

Bring a copy of your list of physicians and their contact information just in case medical tests will be forwarded, along with a copy of any medical emergency instructions and contact numbers.

Ask if you can record the session to retain vital information.

Have your blood pressure and weight checked. feet should be examined every time you see your doctor. A1C should be checked every 3 to 6 months, and cholesterol and microalbumin (for kidney function) annually.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed with diabetes,

you might consider giving your medicine cabinet an

extreme makeover. Create space for new prescriptions

and treatment supplies by removing over-the-

CabINEt CONtENtS: Oral medications and insulin can manage your diabetes and get your glucose levels to target. Your doctor may prescribe a combination of these for your treatment plan. There are six categories of oral medication:

MeGlitiniDes prevent a rise in blood sugar levels by increasing the insulin amount produced in your body.sulFOnYlureas lower blood glucose levels by increasing the amount of insulin produced in your body.alpha-GlucOsiDase inhibitOrs block enzymes that help digest carbohydrates, slowing the rise in blood glucose.biGuaniDes improve the ability of your body to useinsulin and prevent the liver from releasing stored glucose. thiazOliDineDiOnes make insulin work more effectively and lower the amount of glucose released. DipeptiDYl peptiDase iv (Dpp-iv) inhibitOrs help your body make more insulin after a meal and also reduce how much blood glucose your body makes.

INSulIN: There are four injectable forms of insulin currently available. each delivers the medication at different speeds. Physicians will often prescribe 2 or more types of insulin to reach blood glucose goals:

rapiD-actinG insulin works within 15 minutes, peaks at an hour, and remains in the bloodstream 2 to 4 hours.reGular-actinG or shOrt-actinG insulin begins to work 30 minutes after the injection, peaks 2 to 3 hours later, and stays in the bloodstream for 3 to 6 hours.interMeDiate-actinG insulin gets into the bloodstream within 2 to 4 hours, peaks 4 to 12 hours after the injection, and remains for 12 to 18 hours. lOnG-actinG insulin kicks in 6 to 10 hours after the injection and stays in the bloodstream for 20 to 24 hours.

INCrEtIN mImEtIC is a unique injectible medication that “mimics” the effects of hormones to help the body make more of its own insulin.

disease actually develops quite slowly over time as the kidneys’ ability to filter wastes becomes impaired. At first, the blood protein albumin begins leaking into the urine, which ultimately decreases the kidneys’ ability to filter wastes. As these wastes build up in the body, blood pressure usually also rises and kidney damage occurs. The NIDDK says it may take 15 to 25 years for kidney failure to occur —and then the only options for survival are regular kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant. fortunately, the

risk of ever developing kidney disease decreases in people who have lived with diabetes for more than 25 years without any signs of kidney failure.

High blood pressure is a major factor in developing kidney problems in people with diabetes, so controlling it with medication, like ACe inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, can help slow its progression. Also, high blood pressure can be a result of damage created by the disease or it can be the

cause of the disease. In addition, if kidney disease already exists, high blood pressure can accelerate its progress. The key is early detection and treatment. Happily, not every person with diabetes will develop kidney disease or kidney failure, and there are other things you can do to reduce your chances of developing either condition. reducing the amount of protein in your diet may be beneficial, since excessive protein makes the kidneys work harder. Have your urine checked for protein and blood (a sign

that you’re excreting protein) regularly. Monitor your blood pressure closely using a home monitoring kit (be sure to have it calibrated by your physician for greatest accuracy). And consider replacing animal protein with soy protein, since some studies have suggested soy may have a beneficial effect on both the kidneys and the cardiovascular system. But of course, before you embark on any of these treatments, be sure to consult your primary care physician first. ■

You can stay powered up and live a vibrant life beyond diabetes if you manage your blood sugar — or glucose levels. Use the following strategy to reduce, or even free yourself of symptoms altogether.

EmpOwEr yOurSElf wIth INfOrmatION Start with your doctor and ask questions. follow up with research your local library, or online from reputable and official sources. You’ll find these websites helpful: www.diabetes.org (American Diabetes Association - ADA) www.cdc.gov/diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) www.niddk.nih.gov or call 301-496-3583 (National Institute of Diabetes & Kidney Diseases)Take advantage of local support groups through your local hospital.

mONItOr gluCOSE lEvElS DaIly… according to your treatment plan and get A1C tests as ordered by your physician. Blood glucose targets recommended by the ADA are 70-130mg/dl before meals and less than 180 mg/dl two hours after the start of a meal. A free blood glucose chart is available on the inside back of this handbook or online at www.diabetes.org/uedocuments/ChooseGuide.pdf. Blood glucose can be checked on a daily basis by a meter that measures levels with a prick of your finger. Clean the area beforehand, as residue on your finger can throw off a reading.

researchers are fast at work on a variety of noninvasive monitoring devices that track blood glucose, such as ultrasound and wireless sensor chips that transmit data to a cell phone. for more information on monitors, visit the food and Drug Administration’s “Glucose meters and diabetes management” online section by clicking on it as you visit www.fda.gov/diabetes/glucose.html.

The A1C test is done at your doctor’s office and indicates your average 2 to 3 month blood glucose level. A result of 7% or more may require changes in treatment.

gEt a phySICal EvEry yEar… and take diabetes medications as per your doctor’s recommendations.

plaN mEalS IN aDvaNCE… and be physically active for 30 minutes every day. Consistency is key. eat meals consistently, using the same portions of proteins, carbs, and healthy fats (see page 19 for more on nutrition).

It’s important to log results.

The results can guide you as

you plan meals, exercise, and

take medications. It can also

indicate if your treatment plan is working or needs

adjustment.

because peOple with Diabetes…often have nerve damage and lose sensation in their feet, it is important to be proactive about preventing further problems. Do this by checking your feet every day. Look for cuts and blisters, don’t try to clear them up yourself instead see a doctor right away. Use a mirror to check the soles of your feet, or have someone do it for you. Also, wash your feet every day and dry them carefully, especially between the toes. Never walk barefoot, inspect your shoes for foreign

objects and protect your feet from extremes of hot and cold. finally, don’t cross your legs for long periods of time and don’t smoke, since both can reduce circulation.

Take further steps to maintain healthy feet, by improving the circulation in your feet and legs by making daily exercise a habit. Poor circulation can impair the healing of injuries and lead to dryness and swelling. The best way to improve circulation is by walking. Start slowly, being careful not to overdo it, and check with your physician who may be able to recommend specific exercises, and the right shoes to meet your specific needs.

To prevent painful peeling and cracking, avoid very hot showers and baths. Apply lotion after you bathe to seal in moisture and drink lots of water to further help keep skin hydrated.

To prevent painful peeling and cracking, avoid very hot showers and baths. Apply lotion after you bathe to seal in moisture and drink lots of water to further help keep skin hydrated.
