my girlfriend has type 1 diebeties what do i need to know about it??
Q. my girlfriend has type 1 diebeties and i just wanted to know what kind of things i need to help her keep an eye on when we are together?
A. type 1 diabetes is insulin dependent and juvenile onset. (Contrary to what people think type 2 diabetes does effect children and teens also just mostly adults)
The best thing you can do for your girlfriend is to find out how she controls it. Insulin Pump or Injections? Then what her Carb ratio is. If shes counting carbs and not the old "exchange" way then its simply a matter of knowing the carb count of what she is eating and how much insulin she takes for how many ingested carbs. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. If your not gonna get THAT involved in it, just remind her to take her blood sugar and if she has taken the insulin for what she ate. Ask her for her signs and symptoms of a low and watch for that when your with her. Sometimes a low blood sugar can sneak up on you and it interferes with the thought process and she may not be able to help herself.

What is Auto-Immune Response, in terms of diabetes and genetically engineered insulin?
Q. I am doing a project on Diabetes and what is Auto-Immune response? and what does it have to do with genetically engineered insulin? Is it the body rejecting this created insulin? If it is why is this? Thanks in advance!
A. an auto immune response is where the bodies immune system incorrectly reconginses cells from the body as "non-self" and attacks them, this is particularly important in Type I diebeties (ie childhood diabeties) because the cells of the immune system attack and destroy the Beta secretory cells of the pancreas, these cells are responsible for insulin secretion thus when they are destoryed we cant secrete insulin to control our blood glucose levels.
Every cell has a special combination of sugars and proteins on its exterior called the major histo-compatibility complex , this complex is what identifies cells as "friendly" and tells the immune system not to attack it. When we supply insulin to diabetics (both type I and II) we need to ensure that the immune system recognizes it as friendly otherwise the immune system will attack it and degrade it.

What can high sugar products do to you?
Q. Well im not really fat or anything, and yet i eat blocks of sugary snacks. Can it actually do anything to your digestive system?
