Could I have inherited diabetes?

I am a sixteen year old girl. I’m petite, I’m 5’1 and weigh approx. 116 lbs. At the beginning of 2011 I weighed about 140 lbs. . . I have done crunches but I don’t see how I could lose THAT much weight with just a small amount of excersise. Here are some other signs.
- I have always had poor circulation in my feet and hands. They’re ALWAYS cold no matter how warm it is outside. Wearing socks all of the time doesn’t seem to help any.
- I bruise very VERY easily, I always have.
- I am tired a lot of the time and can’t seem to fall asleep until about 2 in the morning . .
- I always seem to want sweets. Wether it be chocolate or sugar I want it.
- I over use salt (but I always have ever since I was a little kid)
- I am fatigue most of the time.
- I’ve noticed that my urine is nearly always green and I drink liquids frequently
background info*
My grandmother on my mother’s side has diabetes (I’m not sure which type it is). . .
Could I have diabetes? If so what type?

Sorry Avandia is the WRONG answer. It is about to be pulled from the market. My doctor took me off of it 2 years ago. Avandia is a combo drug. Two different drugs to make one. I would be very carefull about this drug and it is only available by prescription.

Was your grandmother on insulin? Did she have it as a child? If so she may be type 1. Chances are she is type 2. You can still take insulin and be type 2. Childhood is a key.

You need to be tested after an 8+ hr fast, first thing in the am, before you eat. You can usually get tested for free nowadays. Pharmacies or clinics. Your age may be a problem. You may be an adult. Some of the things that you are worried about could be related to diabetes. That is why you need to be tested.

Are you sure your urine is green. Not dark yellow. Dark yellow could be dehyration along with other things you described. Kinda weird: Is your poop green (too much iron).

Dehyration describes more of your symptoms than anything.

Please get checked. What about a school nurse?

Good luck

My dog notoriously has horrible skin. She is constantly getting a skin infection and is put on antibiotics.?

She’s a full breed German Shepherd and is an indoor dog. She’s been tested for mange but came up negative. She’s obviously got allergies and is on prednisone (which causes diabetes). What can I put on her skin to help relieve the itching? We are in the process of changing her diet to see if that helps.

I changed my dogs food to “Ultra” by Nutro. It is a dry dog food with more natural ingredients. I also gave her 2000 mg of fish oil in capsule form along with some grape seed extract (pill form) and her skin problems cleared right up. Get her off the prednisone real quick. Go natural. You might also try pouring a little flax oil (from health food store) on her food.

Grape seed extract:

* Protects the body from premature aging and disease
* Supports healthy skin
* Promotes cellular health, elasticity, and flexibility
* Improves blood circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries, and veins

The flavanoids in the seed are known to reduce inflammation, and support the immune system particularly with respiratory issues, allergies, and skin problems. It has been used in cats and dogs successfully without any reported problems.

* Reduces risk of cataracts
* Protects against cancer
* Provides cardiovascular support

Grape seed extract is especially beneficial to aging animals, and animals with cataracts, cancer and heart disease.

How to go about losing weight as a 17 year old girl?

I currently am 5’5″ and weigh 168 pounds, making my BMI a 28 (overweight).

(Miku!)
as a heads up, I thank you for wanting a realistic weight.
Not a twig-weight. :]

I don’t know blood-pressure, so I can’t answer that for you.

However, in order to lose weight, I’d advise to eat about 1500 calories everyday (don’t eat any form of “white” food, like white bread.) and exercise for 45 minutes every day. Preferably cardio.
However, if you’re not used to exercise like that, I’d really advise you to start your routine slow. If you end up doing 45 minutes and you’re sore for days, really, you’re not going to keep doing it. Trust me.

So, if you’re out of shape, do 20 minutes for a few days, then up it to 30 minutes, and so on. It’ll be much easier to get into the routine if you don’t kill yourself doing it.

does having high blood sugar means that high blood pressure?

my father is diabetic. i am the one in the family who checks his blood sugar and blood pressure. i am also new to this. his blood sugar is high but his blood pressure is normal. the doctor has doubt in my accuracy. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Although high blood sugar (glucose) levels and high blood pressure (hypertension) are NOT directly related, many diabetics do have high blood pressure. Obviously, not all diabetics have high blood pressure, but being diabetic does increase the risks that high blood pressure will occur.

There’s an easy way for your father’s doctor to check your accuracy, and that is for him/her to test him/herself. (Allowances must be made for what’s termed ‘white coat syndrome’. Any medical professional must surely be aware of this. It is a known phenomenon where blood pressure rises on it being taken by a medical professional. This could be down to the ‘stress’ of having it done.)
