A Diabetes Question?

Okay, I'm an insulin-dependant diabetic. Am I allowed to eat oatmeal? This should be answered by an expert in Diabetes or Nutrition, so please, no guesses.
Okay. Same question about milk? About cereals like Corn Flakes?

You must test this out for yourself!!!

check your glucose number
eat the oatmeal or drink the milk or whatever other food you want at this moment.
check your glucose again after 90 minutes to 2 hours and decide if you can afford the amount of insulin it will take to handle the carbs in this food without causing you to gain weight.

This is no guess!! This is practical experience!!

My mother has diabeties and as a result of this a yeast infection that does not go away. Will it ever go away?

She has been prescribed and taken many medications (Ex: Flagy and many more) but none stop/cure her yeast infection. Migth the fact that she is a diabetic prevent her from ever getting cure? Her physician tells her that it is due to her diabeties, as I mentioned above, but something can be done about it can't it?

Many nondiabetics develop a vaginal yeast infection and most diabetics do not suffer from such an infection. The diabetes may make an individual more susceptible but it is certainly not an expected event. It is true however that if the person's glucose is routinely elevated that they are predisposed to yeast infections. Resolving them is relatively easy. Metronidazole (Flagyl) may be used for vaginosis/vaginitis but it has absolutely nothing to do with a vaginal yeast infection. Fluconazole at a dose of 200 mg one every five days for a total of three doses resolves the vast majority of yeast infections. If the infection is rather severe fluconazole 200 mg one daily for two weeks should work quite well.

Constantly Thirsty - Drinking bottles of mineral water?

I'm feeling constantly thirsty even though I've drink 2 bottles (or 3 litres) of mineral water (I keep drinking that I end up getting heartburn and sometimes nausea)

Tap water usually has chlorines and other chemicals used to clean them for human consumption. I guess mineral water has less or none of this. but I don't think that's the reason why. maybe because mineral water has more minerals your body needs to sorta dilute them so wants more water and gets more minerals and its like a cycle.

maybe try drink tap water for a while and see if it stops.

Puffed rice for food cravings in a diabetic renal patient?

My father is a diabetic for the past 19 years. He is a strict vegetarian with clean habits. Recently, he has been noted to have proteinuria and placed on a diabetic renal diet, where in greens, dhal, certain vegetables etc.are restricted. He feels tired soon, maybe due to low protein intake, or whatever. How could we help him out in this matter. Further, he used to take puffed rice (pori or muri) for his food cravings. Is it right to take this? If not, what else can be taken for his food cravings n snacking?

Information on how to lower High Blood Pressure?

Does anyone know what will help lower High Blood pressure without a lot of Drugs. I realize Exercise and less salt intake is 2 things. Does Garlic help.?? Also if High Blood pressure is caused by Stress then would taking B Stress Vitamins pills help.
I really need some advise on this before resorting to further Drugs. Thanks.

If you have heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease etc., you should take anti-hypertensive drugs and cholesterol lowering drugs.
Lifestyle changes can help you control and prevent high blood pressure — even if you're taking blood pressure medication. Here's what you can do:
* Eat healthy foods. Try the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy foods. Get plenty of potassium, which can help prevent and control high blood pressure. Eat less saturated fat and total fat. Limit the amount of sodium in your diet. Although 2,400 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day is the current limit for otherwise healthy adults, limiting sodium intake to 1,500 mg a day will have a more dramatic effect on your blood pressure.
* Maintain a healthy weight. If you're overweight, losing even 5 pounds can lower your blood pressure.
* Increase physical activity. Regular physical activity can help lower your blood pressure and keep your weight under control. Strive for at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day.
* Limit alcohol. Even if you're healthy, alcohol can raise your blood pressure. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation — up to one drink a day for women, two drinks a day for men.
* Don't smoke. Tobacco injures blood vessel walls and speeds up the process of hardening of the arteries. If you smoke, ask your doctor to help you quit.
* Manage stress. Reduce stress as much as possible. Practice healthy coping techniques, such as muscle relaxation and deep breathing. Getting plenty of sleep can help, too.
* Practice slow, deep breathing. Do it on your own or try device-guided paced breathing. In various clinical trials, regular use of Resperate — an over-the-counter device approved by the Food and Drug Administration to analyze breathing patterns and help guide inhalation and exhalation — significantly lowered blood pressure.

what is a normal variation in blood pressure from one arm to the other?

My blood pressure varies 20 or more points from my left arm to my right arm. I do have a history of cardiac disease and am a 32 y/o male
I have a family history of cardiac disease and I myself have high blood pressure.
I have had a stress test done and my EF is 85%. I am a trauma nurse but for the life of me could not remember the normal variation between sides. I have not had an EKG done guess Im scarred Ill see tombstone T's. I have been having problems with my blood pressure bottoming out and I am taking a low dose of diocan htc. If Im not mistaken it is the lowest dose.

Although it's unlikely, assuming the BP in your right arm is higher than the left, you could have coarctation of the aorta. A narrowing of either subclavian artery (also unlikely) could cause lower BP in the arm on that side. In either case someone might be able to notice a difference in the timing of the pulses between your arms, with the impulse on the side with the lower BP being slightly later.
All that being said, a 20mm difference is not that much, and since estimating BP using pressurized cuffs is not that accurate, might not even be real.
And, since you have a history of heart disease, presumably you have been examined by a cardiologist, who, I would hope, would have picked up coarctation of the aorta (subclavian stenosis is not important unless it's causing symptoms, which would be very unlikely with just a 20mm difference).
