Diabities & Fat

Friends, For the people have been advised to keep their intake of fat to small quantities. There are two very important reasons why this has been the case: 1. Weight Control: Excess body fat, particularly abdominal fat prevents insulin from working properly which leads to raised blood glucose levels. 2. Heart disease risk: People with diabetes are at a greater risk of heart disease and circulation problems. Reducing fat, especially saturated fat, will help to reduce this risk.

Gestational diabetes
Of all the women who have diabetes during pregnancy, 90% have gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is diabetes that is diagnosed during pregnancy, generally between 24-28 weeks. Most

pregnant women are screened for gestational diabetes by drinking 50grams of a glucose solution and measuring their blood glucose level one hour later. If this test is abnormal, additional testing may be done to verify whether a woman really has gestational diabetes. Most women with gestational diabetes do not have symptoms, but some may experience extreme thirst, hunger or fatigue. For most women with gestational diabetes, blood glucose levels return to normal after pregnancy, although 40% of women with a history of gestational diabetes develop diabetes at some point in the future. Most women with gestational diabetes can control blood glucose levels with dietary changes, while 10-15% may require insulin injections. Because gestational diabetes typically occurs late in the second trimester when the babys body is already formed, it does not usually increase the risk of birth defects, but is associated with a chance for delivering a large baby. You should discuss with your doctor whether vaginal delivery or cesarean section is most appropriate given the babys size. If gestational diabetes is not well controlled, there is an increased chance for the baby to have hypoglycemia and breathing problems at birth. In rare cases where gestational diabetes is present in the first trimester, there may be a small increased risk for birth defects similar to that seen with other forms of diabetes. It is not clear whether gestational diabetes truly increases these risks, or whether the women in these studies simply had Type 1 diabetes that had not previously been identified.

Insulin injections for diabetes

Animal, human or synthetic insulin may be used for glucose control during pregnancy. Several studies have shown that using insulin during pregnancy is not associated with an increased risk for birth defects. It is thought that the potential benefits of using insulin to regulate glucose outweigh the risks of insulin use, since better glucose control can reduce the risks of birth defects associated with poorly controlled diabetes. Since insulin is thought to control glucose levels better than most oral medications, your physician may want you to switch to insulin injections. There have been studies comparing birth defect rates of babies from women who control their diabetes with insulin injections with those who take oral

medications to lower glucose in their blood. In general, taking oral medications does not increase the risk that a baby will be born with birth defects. It is important to recognize that there may be more specific information available for different medications. Consult with your physician regarding which medication may be appropriate for you. For more information about the oral medication metformin during pregnancy.

Diabetes-Pregnancy complications
Women with diabetes are generally followed more closely in pregnancy because of the potential for certain complications. When glucose levels are not in good control, there is also an increased risk for miscarriage and stillbirth. There is also a higher chance of pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure, swelling, and protein in the urine), pre-term delivery and excess amniotic fluid around the baby (polyhydramnios). Finally, mothers with diabetes are more likely to have large babies, some weighing over 10 pounds. When this occurs, the doctor may advise the woman to deliver the baby by cesarean section rather than by vaginal delivery in order to reduce the risk of injuries to the mother and baby. Chances for these complications are lower when women have good glycemic control. Kinds of tests during pregnancy for women with diabetesThere are several tests that can be done during a pregnancy to evaluate how the baby is growing and developing. An ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create a picture of the baby, can be used to look at different structures of the baby and to make sure the baby is growing at a normal rate. A fetal echo cardiogram can be used to evaluate whether the babys heart is developing properly. Non-stress tests can be used to monitor the babys heart rate. A test of maternal blood (called the AFP test or triple screen) measures certain proteins the baby makes that cross into the mothers blood. The levels of these proteins can give information on a babys chances to have certain birth defects such as spina bifida.

Maternal diabetes
It is important to remember that most babies born to women with diabetes are not born with birth

defects. However, high glucose levels during pregnancy increase the chance that a baby will be born with birth defects. High glucose levels have the most significant effect early in pregnancy, possibly before a woman knows she is pregnant. For pregnant women with poor diabetic control, the risk for a baby to be born with birth defects is about 6-10%; this is about twice the chance for birth defects if the mothers diabetes is well controlled. For those with extremely poor control in the first trimester, there may be up to a 20% risk for birth defects. Some of the associated birth defects include spinal cord defects (spina bifida), heart defects, skeletal defects, and defects in the urinary, reproductive, and digestive systems. Finally, babies born to women with diabetes also have an increased chance of having breathing difficulties, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and jaundice (yellowish skin) at birth.

Diabetes and Pregnancy

Diabetes and Pregnancy :-

This article talks about the risks that diabetes can have during pregnancy. With each pregnancy, all women have a 3% to 5% chance of having a baby with a birth defect. This information should

not take the place of medical care and advice from your health care provider.

It is recommended that women with diabetes speak with their doctors before becoming pregnant. This will help ensure that their blood glucose levels are under control. Whether a mothers diabetes increases the chance of birth defects is based on how well her glucose is controlled just before and during a pregnancy. This is true no matter what the cause of the diabetes. Studieshave shown that women who have well-controlled diabetes before becoming pregnant and who maintain low glucose levels throughout pregnancy are not at increased risk for having a baby born with birth defects.A blood test measuring the levels of Hemoglobin A1C (glycosated hemoglobin) estimates glucose control for the previous 2-3 months.

Ideally, this level should be within the normal range before pregnancy. Some doctors will recommend additional home blood glucose testing tocheck the sugar levels more regularly. Women with diabetes should also work with their doctors and nutritionists to develop a personalized diet and exercise plan before pregnancy.

Types of diabetes
Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin properly. Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone in the blood that is necessary for providing our cells with energy to function. Insulin helps sugar (glucose) move from the bloodstream into the cells. When glucose cannot enter our cells, it builds up in the blood (hyperglycemia). This can lead to damage of organs including the eyes and kidneys, or damage of blood vessels and nerves.

Most people with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes, which means that the body does not produce enough insulin or the insulin is not able to transfer glucose into cells. Type 2 diabetes used to be known as adult-onset diabetes.

In contrast, people with Type 1 diabetes (previously called juvenile-onset diabetes) have a condition where the body does not produce any insulin at all. People with Type 1 diabetes need insulin injections and close monitoring to control their blood sugar levels.

Diabetes : What Do You Eat?

A so-called "diabetic diet" is not a life sentence to a rigid and restrictive menu plan. There is not one ultimate "diabetic diet" that everyone should follow; instead, nutritional management of diabetes is a lifestyle that balances moderation and healthy food choices. A registered dietitian, preferably one who is also a certified diabetes educator (CDE) or experienced in diabetes care, is an essential resource for learning more about individualized menu planning and food choices with diabetes.

Food and Diet by Diabetes Type While food is a factor in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes management, the rationale behind dietary adjustments in each is different. Those with type 1 diabetes base their insulin dosage in part on what they eat. Those with type 2 diabetes often use their dietary choices as a method (for some, the primary method) of controlling their blood glucose levels. Type 1 Diabetes and Diet Learning how to calculate carbohydrate grams and account for other important food factors, such as fiber intake, is essential to good blood glucose control for people with type 1 diabetes. If you are on standard insulin therapy (i.e., your insulin doses stay the same from day-to-day), you need to consume roughly the same number of carbohydrate grams daily to avoid blood sugar highs and lows. People on standard insulin therapy generally use simple carbohydrate counting, which sets a certain number of insulin units for every 15 grams of carbohydrates eaten (15 g=1 carb choice). Your healthcare team can help you determine the appropriate amount of daily carbohydrates for your particular insulin regimen. People who are overweight or

obese have weight loss issues to take into account when developing an eating plan. A registered dietitian experienced in diabetes management can help determine the optimal daily amount of carbohydrate and calorie intake. Exercise is anintegral part of any weight loss routine, so patients with type 2 diabetes should work with their healthcare team to create a safe and effective individualized fitness plan. Those with type 1 diabetes who are controlling their diabetes with flexible insulin therapy are able to adjust the amount of insulin taken before a meal to counteract, or cover, the grams of carbohydrates that are about to be eaten, which also allows them to vary their carb intake from day to day. Insulin dose is calculated based on an insulin to carbohydrate ratio that establishes a set number of insulin units for a certain quantity of carbohydrate grams. The insulin to carbohydrate ratio varies from person to person; work with your healthcare team to determine what ratio is right for you. Type 2 Diabetes and Diet One of the main treatment approaches for type 2 diabetes is medical nutrition therapy (MNT). In simplest terms, MNT is adjusting dietary intake to minimize dramatic highs and lows in blood glucose and keep levels within a safe target range. Carbohydrate counting if a useful tool for keeping diabetes under control. In addition, as weight and body mass decreases in type 2 patients, so does insulin resistance, so MNT and any medication regimen should be constantly reevaluated to ensure blood glucose levels stay within a safe range.
