can dehydration cause DM type 2?
464435
well,there is NO co-relation between D.M & dehydration,here is the causes of NIDDM:\n*Genetic factors,usually polygenic,form disease background in a prevailing number of patients.Environmental factors like obesity,lack of exercise and sedentary lifestyle sometimes lead to insulin resistance.Insulin resistance means that body cells do not respond appropriately when insulin is present.\n*Other important contributing factors:\n-increased hepatic glucose production (eg, from protein degradation).\n-decreased insulin-mediated glucose transport in muscle and adipose tissues (receptor and post-receptor defects).\n-impaired beta-cell function - loss of early phase of insulin release in response to hyperglycemic stimuli.

I think that someone can be type 1 and 2.  The question is whether they are insulin deficient or insulin resistant.  I hate thinking about things in black and white (He has purely type 1 and she has purely type 2) because in medicine things always occur on a spectrum.  Lets say you have a low grade auto immune disorder and your insulin production is decreased because of slow gradual lost of Beta cell function  over time. Wouldn't this be a type of type 1 dm.  And lets also say that you get a bit overweight and become insulin resistant.  So for the first 30 yrs of life,  you had enough insulin production but because you put on the weight you also become insulin resistant.  Then wouldn't you be type 1 and type 2 diabetic.  Remember life is never always that clear and simply.  The important thing is to diagnosis the diabetes early and control it so to prevent complications down the line.

Extreme thirst is a gooood sign for diabetes. Dizziness could be high blood pressure or dehydration.

when you have diabetes, the kidneys work hard to remove that extra suger form the blood. so you have to urinate more often,and then the body asks for more water by making you more thirsty. so if you feel more thirsty, and urinate more often, then it is  the first sign that you have diabetes.\n\ndrinking more water will let you remove more excess  sugar,and will prevent the dryness in mouth and skin, but it will not reduce the sugar in the blood that you are adding by eating more and more food .\n\nwhat you need to know is  how high is the sugar level in the blood. Then you need to controll the sugar to an acceptable level, by medicine, by reducing food intake, and the exercise.\n\nIt is found that when we have diabetes, our body does not produce insulin. And body muscles can not use up the sugar from the blood just by doing daily routine work and we feel energyless(Lousy).\n\nBut recent studies found that regular exercise and walking at brisk speed( so you breath faster) reduces blood sugar.\n\nBut when you regularly exercise,then the muscles can

Diarrhea—loose, watery stools occurring more than three times in one day—is a common problem that usually lasts a day or two and goes away on its own without any special treatment. However, prolonged diarrhea can be a sign of other problems. People with diarrhea may pass more than a quart of stool a day.\n\nDiarrhea can cause dehydration, which means the body lacks enough fluid to function properly. Dehydration is particularly dangerous in children and the elderly, and it must be treated promptly to avoid serious health problems. (See "What is dehydration?")\n\nPeople of all ages can get diarrhea. The average adult has a bout of diarrhea about four times a year.\n\nWhat causes diarrhea?\nDiarrhea may be caused by a temporary problem, like an infection, or a chronic problem, like an intestinal disease. A few of the more common causes of diarrhea are\n\nBacterial infections. Several types of bacteria, consumed through contaminated food or water, can cause diarrhea. Common culprits include Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli.\n\n\nViral infections. Many viruses cause diarrhea, including rotavirus, Norwalk virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and viral hepatitis.\n\n\nFood intolerances. Some people are unable to digest some component of food, such as lactose, the sugar found in milk.\n\n\nParasites. Parasites can enter the body through food or water and settle in the digestive system. Parasites that cause diarrhea include Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Cryptosporidium.\n\n\nReaction to medicines, such as antibiotics, blood pressure medications, and antacids containing magnesium.\n\n\nIntestinal diseases, like inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease.\n\n\nFunctional bowel disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, in which the intestines do not work normally.\n\n\nSome people develop diarrhea after stomach surgery or removal of the gallbladder. The reason may be a change in how quickly food moves through the digestive system after stomach surgery or an increase in bile in the colon that can occur after gallbladder surgery.\n\nIn many cases, the cause of diarrhea cannot be found. As long as diarrhea goes away on its own, an extensive search for the cause is not usually necessary.\n\nPeople who visit foreign countries are at risk for traveler's diarrhea, which is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or, sometimes, parasites. Traveler's diarrhea is a particular problem for people visiting developing countries. Visitors to the United States, Canada, most European countries, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand do not face much risk for traveler's diarrhea.

75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated and the mechanism that signals thirst is confused. Rheumatism and many health concerns can be cured with the water cure. Drink 6-8 glasses of distilled water with a pinch of unrefined sea salt.\nExpect great result in several weeks. \n\nTaking a shot glass of carrot juice with a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, a dash of cinnamon and cayenne and unrefined sea salt , three times a day will invigorate your body.\n\nAdd one drop of wild oregeno oil to the carrot juice if a combined water cure and carrot juice drink do not cure your Rheumatism\nin a few weeks.\n\nDrink a shot glass of tart cherry juice three times a day.

Most likely, yes! The high level of glucose draws water into the urine dehydrating you (thirst). It also affects the brain (tired). \n\nGood news - As your sugars remain in the normal range, you will feel better.\nBad news - Can be difficult at times.\n\nNote: If you check your sugars, and they are usually normal, and your HbA1c is good (3 month avg of sugars), and you feel tired and thirsty again, it is still possible to have other conditions. Bottom line, if you don't think it's the Diabetes causing something in particular, tell your doc.

My husband experienced severe cramping in his stomach often  before he was diagnosed with Type I diabetes it had to do with his glucose running so high untreated.  Are you Type I or II and have you started a treatment plan?

Go here, and scroll down: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003218.htm\n\nSweating when not exercising or hot can mean your body needs to get rid of something. If you are also urinating and thirsty, it could be a symptom of diabetes. It may be a thyroid problem.\n\nYou should see a doctor if it was sudden and continues more than a few days. If you know a diabetic, test your blood sugar level with his or her test meter.

Unquenchable thirst, also called polydipsia, occurs when the patient is dehydrated, or when the thirst mechanism is deranged, ie "psychogenic polydipsia" which is a psychiatric illness.\n\nDehydration can occur from water deprivation, or from excessive water loss.\n\nWater loss is mainly urinary.\n\nThere are two main reasons why the body would produce huge amounts of urine:\n\n1. Diabetes insipidus - this is NOT what people mean when they say "Diabetes". That disease is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes insipidus is when the body is unable to form concentrated urine (either through lack of secretion of anti-diuretic hormone, or lack of efficacy of it as may occur when taking lithium), leading to large volumes of water loss.\n\n2. Excessive amount of a solute which the body is getting rid of, eg, glucose in the case of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. In this case the kidneys just flush lots of fluid through.\n\nBut water loss can also occur from the gastro-intestinal tract, ie vomiting and diarrhoea.\n\nExcessive sweating will also cause thirst.

Go see a Dr...could be more serious than you think,and you could also be getting dehydrated.

Diabetics has type I(A) and Type II (B). Mostly type II are related to environment. The S/S like thirsty, fading,tired, sleepy all the day, someone told you that your oral odour smell like sugar... \n\nWhen more severe, skin itchy, eye problem may happen.\n\nyou can consult with your physician or perform some blood glucose examination to see whether your blood glucose level is high or low

Type 2 diabetes almost always has a slow onset (often years), but in type 1, particularly in children, onset may be quite fast (weeks or months). Early symptoms of type 1 diabetes are often polyuria (frequent urination) and polydipsia (increased thirst, and consequent increased fluid intake). There may also be weight loss (despite normal or increased eating), increased appetite, and irreducible fatigue. These symptoms may also manifest in Type 2 diabetes in patients who present with frank poorly controlled diabetes.\n\nThirst develops because of osmotic effects — sufficiently high glucose (above the 'renal threshold') in the blood is excreted by the kidneys but this requires water to carry it and causes increased fluid loss, which must be replaced. The lost blood volume will be replaced from water held inside body cells, causing dehydration.\n\nAnother common presenting symptom is altered vision. Prolonged high blood glucose causes changes in the shape of the lens in the eye, leading to blurred vision and, perhaps, a visit to an optometrist. All unexplained quick changes in eyesight should force a fasting blood glucose test. These are now quick (less than 5 minutes total), inexpensive (materials less than USD $1), and can be safely performed by almost anyone with trivial training.\n\nEspecially dangerous symptoms in diabetics include the smell of acetone on the patient's breath (a sign of ketoacidosis), Kussmaul breathing (a rapid, deep breathing), and any altered state of consciousness or arousal (hostility and mania are both possible, as is confusion and lethargy). The most dangerous form of altered consciousness is the so-called "diabetic coma" which produces unconsciousness. Early symptoms of impending diabetic coma include polyuria, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, with lethargy and somnolence a later development, progressing to unconsciousness and death if untreated.
