Where can I find good statistics for diabetes (type 1) health?
I'm interested in proper statistics in areas such as: life expectancy, HBA1c vs diabetes complications, cardiovascular complications, risk factors, etc.
ADA or the Joslin Clinic in Boston.

"Reversing Diabetes" covers and explains the deadly diabetes statistics, diabetes complications, and especially the complications of type 2 diabetes. Information on diabetes is often hidden because mainstream medicine treats the disease symptoms with drugs instead of eliminating the root problems caused by weight gain and diet. Drugs cannot cure this disease, only diet and lifestyle can. Effective...
I've had regular periods untill nov I had a period then 2 weeks later bled lightly then 2 weeks later a normal period and then the same thing up until now. My last regular period was jan 4th - 8th We've had protected sex about 5 times then on Monday it was unprotected for a minute before he put on a condom. Then Tuesday and Wednesday ightly bleeding and Thursday nothing untill we had sex and when he pullled out there was a little blood. Now I've heard that during ovulation you can bleed a little...maybe that's what it is? Is there a chance of being pregnant from mondays session since that is the day before suspected ovulation. When should I test? Were not trying for a baby but wed embrace it and be excited if it did happen.
I should add we've been through 3 m/c's. 2 d and c's.
It sounds like you have been experiencing ovulation spotting. This can be a good thing, ovulation spotting is actually considered an excellent fertility sign. Good luck and I hope if you are pregnant that you have a sweet baby in your arms in 9 months!

Info on how this is different from other stethoscopes and how it compares to other stethoscopes would be nice. What are the alternatives to a dual-head stethoscope? How common are they?
I'm required to get one for nursing school, and like-a-dummy, I bid on a stethoscope before I realized I didn't know if it was a dual-head. It is the littmann cardiology III.
to be honest, I've never seen a nurse actually use a bell on a stethoscope. I'd get your name engraved on the head of that Littmann. I have a cardiology III and yes, it has both a bell and diaphragm. That said, it is probably more expensive than a nurse would need as previously stated.

I've never really thought about this very much until today. For those of you that give your own vaccinations?
or have a Diabetic dog, what do you do with those used syringes and needles? Do you throw them in the garbage, take them to the Vet's office for disposal, what? A friend asked about this, so I just wondered what you do. She does have a Diabetic dog.

The syringe capacity depends on the size of the syringe being disposed of.

My husband age 52 was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic about 2 yrs ago. He consistantly gets blood work 4 times a year and takes Metformin (Glucophage,) for this condition. He has always seen the Nurse Practioner at the Dr's office. His blood test results have been 6.5 for over a year now, and the Nurse Practioner has said he was doing fine. Today he goes in to review his bloodwork, which again was 6.5 but this time saw the Doctor. He said his blood sugar level was too high and DOUBLED his dose of Metformin. He's all upset now and screaming at me (like it's MY fault somehow??) I don't understand why the Doctor did this, and of course my husband was too scared or too stupid to ask any questions (it's alot easier to just pick of the phone and scream at his wife.)
When he checks his bloodsugar with the meter thingy it's always between 121-126. I know it's supposed to be 90-120, but it's only slightly over that...Some advice here please would be very much appreciated!!
6.5 is good, and he is to be congratulated. I wish mine was that low!
However, recent studies in the UK and US have shown that the tighter the control, the better the outcome. By telling him to reduce the Hba1c His doctor is trying to give him tighter control, thus giving him the best chance of staying healthy and complication-free for the rest of his life.
New to insulin- what to have in mini fridge for low sugar hits?
My husband has had diabetes for five years (only on oral medicatinos), and last week he was put on Lantus, which is a one time a day, 24 hour shot. In the middle on the night (on the 5th day of the insulin) he began vomiting. He took his usgar which was 84 (his normals are usually 130-170). I have him a small piece of candy and in 30 minutes it was rising, but got me thinking again:
We've ordered one of the mini-dorm fridges to keep his insulin pens, supplies, snacks, etc. in our room sothe kids won't have acccess. For those who are diabetic or lives with diabetic, what suggestions are things we can keep in the fridge in case this happens again- I've been told the mini 8 ox cans of regular soda, cheese and crackers, hard candy. Any others?
Lantus really drops me at night, i wake up almost every night shaky and sweaty from the lantus.. ive learned that i need to do less lantus & more novelog during the day, your husband should probably start lowering his dose.. lows during the night are dangerous. but you should keep juice boxes & fruitsnacks and things like that in the fridge alongw ith some crackers, peanut butter, or some cheese to eat after the fast acting sugars.

How long can it take to go from stage 5 cirrhosis to stage 6?
My mother in law just informed that she has stage 5 cirrhosis of the liver this is non alcoholic, and she does not have hepatitis, just fatty liver. They said at stage 6 she would need consultation to be put on a transplant list. I actually have a few ?s about this. 1.) How long does it typically take to reach stage 6 2.) whats the typical lifespan of someone who has stage 6 cirrhosis? 3.) what are the chances that she would get a transplant given her medical history, she had breast cancer in 2004, triple bypass surgery in 2005, is diabetic, not insulin depede pendant and has nuropathy from her diabetes. She is also on many medications. 4.) why in the heck have they not cut down on her meds since her liver cannot process it all? I only know some of what she is on, aspirin for her heart, Oxycontin, oxycotin. Like I said this only only the few meds that I know she is on she takes roughly guessing around 10-15 different medicines prescribed by her dr.
This is a little confusing...so I'm going to start by explaining a few
things:
Fatty liver has different causes: alcohol consumption (not applicable)
obesity, weight gain, diabetes, high cholesterol/triglyceride levels,
fast weight loss, and others.
Hepatitis is inflammation inside the liver
Cirrhosis is death of the liver cells and scar tissue formation inside
the liver.
Fatty liver usually starts out as "simple fatty liver". As the fat builds
up inside the liver, it can cause damage to the liver cells. The
immune system of the body responds to this damage and causes
inflammation to develop inside the liver (hepatitis). This is then
known as Steatohepatitis (steato stands for fat, hepat stands for
liver, and itis stands for inflammation).
If the cause cannot be stopped, then this can proceed to where
scar tissue forms inside the liver that will block, eventually, the
flow of blood through the liver...this is then known as Cirrhosis of
the liver. IT is a progressive, irreversible disease.
When Hepatitis is stated and it has a letter after it (then it is
talking about the viral type of Hepatitis...Like Hep A,B,C,etc.)
The doctors, through film testing and maybe a liver biopsy, are
the only ones who know how far advance this disease really is.
People can progress slow or fast based on their other medical
conditions, age, response to treatment, etc.
They take into determination all her medical problems, her
blood test and biopsy test to determine how long she may live
without having a transplant. If she is on the transplant list,
she will be given a MELD score. The Meld score runs from
6 to 40. Those closest to a 6 are the healthiest and may even
go off the list. Those who are going up the ladder closer to
the 40 are sicker and more in need of a transplant.
Here is a MELD score calculator to give you an estimate of
where she would be placed if she was already on the list.
You will need the blood lab results of the Bilirubin, INR,
and Creatinine for this calculator to give you this estimate.:
Only the Transplant team of doctors can determine if she will be
able to withstand the long hours of surgery. Because of her other
medical conditions...this may not be the case I wish I could tell
you for sure, but I cannot.
All her doctors should know "all" the medications she is on.
It doesn't hurt to ask about whether her dosage is correct.
Doctors have to weigh the pros and cons of using certain drugs.
She should have an advance directive or power of attorney
form made to have someone handle her affairs for her and to be
able to speak with the doctors directly on her behalf.
