What charities does the Jonas Brothers Change for the Children Foundation donate to ?
Q. my friend and i are doing a fundraiser at our school and donating all the money to the change for the children foundation, but we need to know exactly what charities they donate the money to first.
i know there were the five charities for 'you decide, you donate' but I heard that's over now? so are they still donating to those 5? are those the only five charities they are donating money to now? are they donating to a bunch of different ones now ?
as much information as possible would be very helpful !

A. The old five were NothingButNets.net, American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Camp, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, and Summer Stars. As far as I know, there are no other charities they are currently donating to and I'm pretty sure they're done donating to the five they recently had up on the site.


What happens when you have proteinuria and Type One diabetes?
Q. Two years ago, before I was diagnosed with type one, I was diagnosed with proteinuria. Last December, I was diagnosed with Type one diabetes. I haven't seen my kidney specialist since. But should I make an appointment? Is it possible that things are different now that I have diabetes?
Thanks!

A. Yes , different and not for the better. Git with it , dialysis is a real pain. In fact , my cousin had two treatments and he ordered them to pull the plug. They did. And that is the rest of the story>>>

What should a person do?
If a person has diabetes, hypertension, or both, the first goal of treatment will be to control blood glucose, also called blood sugar, and blood pressure. People with diabetes should test their blood glucose often, follow a healthy eating plan, take prescribed medicines, and get the amount of exercise recommended by their doctor. A person with diabetes and high blood pressure may need a medicine from a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or a similar class called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). These drugs have been found to protect kidney function even more than other drugs that provide the same level of blood pressure control. Many patients with proteinuria but without hypertension may also benefit from ACE inhibitors or ARBs. The American Diabetes Association and the American College of Cardiology recommend that people with diabetes keep their blood pressure below 130/80.3

People who have high blood pressure and proteinuria, but not diabetes, also benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor or ARB. The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends that people with kidney disease keep their blood pressure below 130/80.4 To maintain this target, a person may need to take a combination of two or more blood pressure medicines. A doctor may also prescribe a diuretic in addition to an ACE inhibitor or ARB. Diuretics are also called �water pills� because they help a person urinate and get rid of excess fluid in the body.

In addition to blood glucose and blood pressure control, the National Kidney Foundation recommends restricting dietary salt and protein. A doctor may refer a patient to a dietitian to help develop and follow a healthy eating plan.

How do diabetes and high blood pressure effect each other?
Q. Almost daily, I am dizzy and have blurred vision. It is during the morning hours that it is the worst. I don't have the other symptoms (thirst and frequent urination) of diabetes, however. Recently, my blood pressure has been higher (160/110), during the morning hours, than usual. Though, it isn't high every morning I feel dizzy and have blurred vision.

A. Hi
Diabetes and high blood pressure are definitely connected. Exercise and the elimination of high carbohydrate foods from the diet would be the first important step to take.

The combination of diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, has been called The Metabolic Syndrome.

Some links that might help:

Highly recommended book by Dr. Bernstein on controlling blood sugar:
http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Bernsteins-Diabetes-Solution-Achieving/dp/0316099066

All about high blood pressure at the Life Extension Foundation website. Use the pull-down menu "Select Health Concerns" to look up diabetes and other conditions:

Free online nutrition plan that will help both conditions at Dr. Mercola's site:

You might consider finding a doctor that will focus on lifestyle factors rather than drugs since diabetes 2 and high blood pressure are very much connected to obesity, diet and exercise.
