Hi.. I am working in Oman and observed the same situation here. Actually  due to sedentary life style, high calorie food, lake of physical exercise increases the chances of diabetics.\nBest way to delay or prevent diabetic is include regular exercise in your daily routine and avoid high calorie food and try to take green vegetables and whole wheat products instead of refined floor products like bread etc.

Try kwaka or cassava and glycemic index < 55 at the following site. Not sure if all of these are available in Fiji, but at least they seem to be available in the tropical Pacific

I believe that diabetes may be a disqualifier to join the military. I know several people that were diagnosed during their service (including my brother in law, serving in a navy helicoptor squadron in San Diego), but I never knew anyone that had it when they enlisted (and knew about it)

Along with checking with your local social services office, check with your local health department. Many local health departments have diabetes education programs and can refer you to many resources within your community. They may also be able to help with supplies (such as meters or strips). Chances are that they also offer some sort of support / awareness group as well. \n\nHave your brother check with his doctor at his next visit about this issue. His doctor's office could probably provide him with medication samples, depending on the medication he is taking. They could also refer him to outreach service groups in the area that could help. \n\nGood luck and best wishes ...

Contact the American Diabetes Association.  Your doctor should have pamplets and information.  There should also be information that comes with your glucometer.  Your local hospital should also have information available.

I am not a nurse or doctor,however,I have been diabetic (type 1) for 36 years. A normal blood sugar reading is between 80 and 120, At 190 sugar spills into your urine. That's when you become thirsty, beyond belief, and start to dehydrate. You will know every washroom in the city because of constant urination. I have been hospilized w/ a reading of about 1200. That was with taking insulin. I had dental work done, and the infection got the best of me. Your reading shows you that your sugar is high, but it is the way the sugar affects your organs that can be fatal. When I had my episode, my potassium levels were screaming high,my kidneys had shut down,I lost the vision in one eye from such a low blood pressure. I was in a coma for a day before anyone found me. I remained so for an additional five days. During that time I suffered a heart attack. Diabetes can be hard to control, even with insulin. Sometimes it becomes more complicated because of the insulin. If you can manage it without..DO IT! Get on a diet recommended by a dietition, get yourself a glucometer to check your sugar at home frequently. Exercise. Show your family the way to deal with it should they eventually have it. Your circulation is compromised, affecting your legs and feet, eyes, and kidneys, skin. High sugar means you will have a harder time fighting infections. Your teeth and gums will need extra care-and you are the only one that can do it. Don't become blind or on dialysis because you can't pass up a candy bar or a chunk of cake. your family needs you, and when you look at their smiling faces, you'll be grateful to be with them. I know I am telling you scary things. I wish someone had really explained to me HOW these things could come to pass. It's because it affects the smallest,tiniest blood vessels in your body. You don't always "just die" from diabetes. You could live a long time with what it can do to you. Good luck to you. I would be so proud of you if you could turn this thing around to become incredibley healthy. This would be the time to do that. If you see that your sugar is rising,for no apparent reason, such as large meal,eating fruit,etc.,call your doctor. It may be from a sinus infection, earache,cut that won't heal. The infection raises your sugar, your sugar makes it difficult to get rid of the infection. And so it goes..round and round. Don't wait for a huge spike in your numbers.

No, there are no limitations due to a condition such as diabetes. In fact, prospective employers in the US are prohibited from asking you in advance about health issues like this (provided it does not prevent you from doing the actual job you are applying for), and you will be protected legally as far as any special considerations you need for the diabetes (like taking a break to have juice, test your blood, etc). You should state that you have diabetes when you fill out forms when you start your job (at the time the job has been offered and accepted) and tell your employer what your needs are as far as taking care of your health.\n\nGood luck and take care of yourself! The American diet can aggravate diabetes, so don't embrace the fast food, high-calorie lifestyle!

Diabetes occurs when the cells in the pancreas produce lesser amounts of insulin.  Their are several different kinds of diabetes.  Some are associated with age, others reflect upon the varying amounts of insulin produced.   The drugs used to treat this are mainly of sulfa origin and promote insulin production.  The disease is extremly important.  Many strides have been achieved over the years, but pancreas transplant is still in its infancy.

you are in college?  \n\nyou'd have better luck attracting answers if you spelled it out correctly and expanded your question with comments about what it is you'd like to know about the lifestyle of diabetes patients (if that is what you are asking about) -- be more specific.
