A. I'm sorry, but the only thing you can do to reduce your salt or sugar intake is to eat healthier. If you are concerned about the weight gain effects of sugar, running works like a charm.

Does excess bubbles in the water of the toilet bowl when u urinate have anything 2do with the start of diabete?
Q. Someone told me that the bubbles are the sugar that the kidneys can not process so there is a chance I may be getting Sugar Diabetes.

A. Diabetics may have kidney damage that can cause this.

although "foamy" urine often indicates proteinuria, there can be other causes. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and retrograde ejaculation are 2 that come to mind. With your recent urinary symptoms and back pain, a UTI is most likely. In men, the most common source of the infection is the prostate gland (prostatitis). Symptoms that might occur with prostatitis include frequency of urination, slowing of the urinary stream, burning with voiding or ejaculation, burning in the penile tip unrelated to voiding, sexual dysfunction (such as difficulty with erection), aching in the penis, testicles, and discomfort in the lower abdomen, low back, groin, rectum or perineum (the area between the scrotum and rectum � betwixt the �wind and the rain�). The passage of blood at the initiation or termination of urination or in the semen can also be noted. During sexual arousal the prostate gland manufactures fluid that accounts for about 2/3 of the volume of ejaculate. The seminal vesicles are paired structures located behind the prostate gland that also manufacture fluid. Sperm from the testicles (which account for only 1-2% of the semen) travel up a series of tubes (epididymis and vas deferens) on each side to join the seminal vesicles forming the paired ejaculatory ducts. These structures empty into the prostatic portion of the urethra. At the time of ejaculation, prostatic fluid is discharged into the urethra (urinary canal) where it mixes with discharge from the ejaculatory ducts forming the semen. The semen volume is in the 2-6 cc range. It is not uncommon for inflammation and/or infection to spread in a retrograde manner into the vas and epididymis. Even without such spread, prostatic discomfort is?often referred into the testicle. Too frequent or too infrequent ejaculation, sexual arousal without ejaculation, withdraw at the time of ejaculation, aggressive bike or horse back riding, and excessive spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine in the diet can predispose you to this. Sitting for long periods of time, especially in an automotive vehicle, can put undo pressure on the prostate and aggravate the condition. For the latter, it is best not to sit more than 2-3 hours at a time. Stop the vehicle periodically, take a short walk and go to the bathroom to urinate. A thick pad or piece of sponge rubber on your seat will also help to cushion the prostate. One should avoid any of the above that apply. Eliminating all of the factors that apply to you are just as important, if not more so, than taking medication! Ejaculation beyond the tolerance of the prostate to fill and empty may also cause discomfort. Likewise if one does so infrequently, fluid still builds up from thoughts, dreams, fantasies, etc. and has to be released periodically to decompress the gland and relieve the symptoms. For most men, ejaculation in moderation, perhaps 1-2 times a week, is reasonable. A daily warm bath for 10-15 minutes 1-2 times daily also lessens the discomfort. Attention to sexual activity and warm bathes should be utilized regardless of the type of prostatitis and whether or not medications are prescribed.

Does having type 2 diabetes make it harder to lose weight?
Q. My family has a history of sugar diabetes. I don't know if I have it... haven't been checked but I try to lose weight by cutting back and nothing happens. Plus I have a weekness for sugary things. Could I have diabetes and could this be the cause for my weight gain and trouble losing weight?

A. Insulin resistance can make weight loss difficult, as can hypothyroidism.

Craving sugar has nothing to do with diabetes. I'm not sure where this idea comes from, although a lot of people on Yahoo Answers seem to share it. Perhaps the confusion stems from the fact that "blood sugar" contains the word "sugar." I am diabetic and I used to eat dessert a couple times a year, mainly on holidays. My weakness was really salty snack foods before I was diagnosed. My grandmother ate cookies and pie several times a week, as well as a large Coke every day, and she never once developed diabetes. While sugar is unhealthy, you're not more likely to crave it because of diabetes. Weight loss can be more difficult if you're binging on sugar, too.

Because you have a family history of diabetes, you may have insulin resistance lurking in the background. You might also just be making the wrong diet choices. It's hard to say. People with genetic susceptibility should get tested for diabetes regularly, anyway, so schedule an appointment with your doctor. If you do have IR, a low-carbohydrate diet and maybe even a small dosage of Metformin could help tremendously with your weight loss goals.
