Birth defects caused by diabetes?

I am 32 weeks pregnant and throughout my pregnancy have tried to find what birth defects are caused by uncontrollable diabetes. I have been unsuccessful except macrosomia and open spinal bifida, which the spinal bifida is a no go with my little one as far as we know. Are there any brain defects or mental disabilities linked with higher blood sugars during pregnancy? Please list sources if any

A great resource is to talk to your doctor.

Gestational Diabetes During and After Pregnancy (Hardcover) $87.65 In the past decade, the perspective of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) as a benign condition limited to pregnancy has evolved into a disease with significant implications for both mother and fetus. As such, it has become a condition relevant to medical specialties beyond obstetrics. Research on the pathophysiology and clinical management of women and children with GDM has increased dramatically, however postpartum management of women with GDM and their offspring still remains less covered by research and clinicians. Research is currently being conducted (in the HAPO study) with results available in early 2008 that are expected to further inform the field about the definition of diagnostic criteria of GDM that are related to their ability to predict perinatal complications. Simultaneously, from the clinical perspective, issues regarding diagnosis and management of GDM during pregnancy have been informed by recent information from clinical trials. Recently released information from the Human Genome Project on the location of diabetes genes is expected to inform the search for GDM loci. Finally, implications for postpartum diabetes prevention and glucose intolerance have also emerged, mainly from epidemiologic data, which suggest specific reshaping of policy for postpartum mothers. To date however, this information has not been consolidated into a single source and GDM information has been limited to a single chapter in various textbooks of diabetes. Efficient synthesis of the data and information from these diverse sources is crucial to effectively prioritize interventions and assemble resources for further research, ranging from further bench investigation to the implementation of public health programs.

High-risk pregnancies are discussed and guidelines introduced to put knowledge into action through the use of self-assessment charts, recipes, and weekly menus for each trimester.

Is a Raw Vegan Diet healthful for diabetes and high blood pressure?

Is a raw vegan diet healthful over a long period of time, especially with diabetes and high blood pressure? I am trying to switch to a raw vegan diet, but my dietitian insists it is not healthful. Has anybody here tried it long-term, or know anybody who has? I’m wanting to lose a lot of weight, and I’ve been making a lot of salads, with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, green bell peppers, celery, onions, carrots … and then I pour on a bunch of vinegar and lemon juice. It’s tasty, nutritious, and very low-calorie. It seems to be working for me, but my dietitian isn’t happy. And I didn’t even tell you what my primary care physician thinks about my decision to quit all my diabetes and blood pressure medications and just rely on a raw vegan diet instead of the meds … except that I’m going to have to find another primary care physician.

The last I checked, the American Dietetic Association was still receiving an “educational grant” from the makers of Aspartame, so I wonder how biased they are…

And medical doctors don’t usually receive a substantial amount of nutrition education…and many receive none.

All fine people, I’m sure, but coming from their own bias and point of view. Your response-ability comes down to you in the end.

A raw vegan diet can be healthful if, and only if, you pay close attention to what you’re doing.

Here’s the rub.

The food being produced in the US is substantially less nutritious than the same foods grown only 20 years ago. That’s according to the USDA.

That means that if you eat your fill with whole foods, you’re going to be stopping before you actually have sufficient micronutrient support from your diet.

If that becomes acute, you will die from one of the many dietary deficiency diseases.

Considering that about 10,000 Americans died a year due to Pellagra until the FDA started adding dietary supplements to while flour in the 1920s, it should also be blindingly obvious that this problem has been around for a while.

So if you’re going to choose this route, you should also consider high quality dietary supplements. There are some B vitamins that you absolutely cannot get sufficiently from a raw food vegan diet. This is hard fact. Appropriate use of supplementation is the only way around this. You need all the other vitamins and minerals as well, because you don’t know where your carrot was grown. The USDA used to track the fact that the same produce varied substantially in nutritional support when grown in different states. They stopped tracking this decades ago when the food production companies decided the information was inconvenient to their sales.

I work with several raw food vegans. While it’s not my personal dietary choice, I know these people have all experienced a significant improvement in their health conditions from this change.

One last smidge of perspective: Some argue that you were designed to eat food raw. That is true, but only if you include the clause that you were also designed to eat by picking food directly from plants and eat it right then and there. The moment you remove a piece of a plant from its living source, enzymes go to work to keep it alive. That consumes many of the nutrients you may otherwise assume are supposed to be present in your food.

Other foods that we “evolved” to eat are only edible if cooked. A variety of nutrients in potatoes and other foods are only released by heat. Cooking actually created a solution for humans by extracting nutrients and calories from foods that either aren’t otherwise digestible or that have lost much of the available nutrition by not being eaten immediately.

The Metabolic Syndrome (Hardcover) $157.3 As we reach a better understanding of the need for early intervention and prevention to slow or halt Metabolic Syndrome, we also need to understand the basic science to develop better treatment. With the goal of stimulating new research and better therapeutics, contributors from epidemiology, physiology, molecular biology, molecular biochemistry and clinical practice offer cross-disciplinary analyses on this complex disease. Topics here include the role of the rise of obesity in insulin resistance, treatment options (weight loss, exercise, hormones and surgery), links with cardiovascular disease from an epidemiological perspective, influence of the sympatho-adrenal system, insulin action and endothelial function, vascular disease in pre-diabetic animal models, highly sensitive C-reactive protein, insulin signaling, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, pancreatic islet therapy in obesity; influence from glucagon peptides, insulin receptor substrates, tyrosine kinase, muscle fat, alterations in atypical protein kinase C activation, the liver and glucose homeostasis; and the chronomics of the syndrome.

Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome (Hardcover) $130.24 Diabetes mellitus affects approximately 20 million people in the US, or nearly 7% of the population. It is expected to increase by 70% within the next 25 years and numerous epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is estimated to cost over $92 BILLION in health care costs and lost productivity. The increased risk is due to the detrimental vascular effects of prolonged exposure to a hyperglycemic, oxidant rich environment yielding associated cardiovascular risk factors: atherosclerosis, hypertension and clotting abnormalities. Hypertension and dyslipidemia in diabetic patients produces substantial decreases in cardiovascular and micro vascular diseases. NUTRITIONAL AND THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION OF DIABETES AND METABOLIC SYNDROME provides an overview of the current epidemic, outlines the consequences of this crisis and lays out strategies to forestall and prevent diabetes, obesity and other intricate issues of metabolic syndrome. The contributing experts from around the world give this book relevant and up-to-date global approaches to the critical consequences of metabolic syndrome and make it an important reference for those working with the treatment, evaluation or public health planning for the effects of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Scientific discussion of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of the relationship between diabetes and metabolic syndromeIncludes coverage of Pre-diabetes conditions plus both Type I and Type II DiabetesPresents both prevention and treatment options

An extensive personal essay—"Confessions of a Fat Man" by Thomas Eanelli, MD—reveals a true-life example of one person`s emotional battle with food addiction and fatty liver disease. In this chronicle, Fanelli documents how the application of the principles in the book helped turn his health around and details his psychological and emotional strategy—the 10 Ps—to help control food addiction and other addictions that cause damage to the liver.

What happens if my doctor finds traces of marijuana in my urine test?

I’m 15 & today I had to go to the doctor for a possible UTI (urinary tract infection). Thus, I had to provide a urine sample. I smoked for the second time 3 days ago, only 2 hits from a joint. Will she still be able to find traces of the THC in my urine? And if she does, will she tell my parents?

They’re testing for a UTI, not THC. You’ve got nothing to worry about unless your parents specifically asked the doc to also test for drug use.

Sleep Apnea $291.57

Rhinologic and Sleep Apnea Surgical Techniques $273.29 As technology advances, practicing or training otolaryngologists register in educational courses to refresh their surgical skills and stay abreast of these changes. While information is becoming available in several journals, there is a definite need for a single surgical atlas-like book that contains precise descriptions of the surgical techniques used in rhinology and sleep apnea surgery. Each chapter was written by surgeons with extensive experience in each topic who have already published on the specific procedure described. Each chapter contains diagrammatic or illustrative descriptions of surgical techniques and provides tips and pearls of wisdom to avoid complications when the procedures are performed. This comprehensive work of surgical information serves as a valuable resource for otolaryngologists in training to augment their surgical education and for practicing otolaryngologists as a review source to best approach the surgical pathologies they encounter in their practice of rhinology and treatment of sleep apnea.
