Q. For Health class I need to put together a project on diabetes, and I need some ideas of what I can do for it.
A. Get the following information:
what diabetes is
what can cause it
the difference between type 1 and type 2
how it is treated and who invented the treatment
what the symptoms are
you could go through Y!A and see if there is anyone you could interview with a couple of brief questions like "what type do you have?" "how old were you when you were diagnosed?" "how has diabetes affected your everyday life?"
then compile your information into a pamphlet or poster.
good luck!

How do they test you for diabetes?
Q. Also are these symptoms of diabetes?
Going to toilet a lot
Thirsty all the time even after having a drink
My eyes go blurry and I have to blink to clear them up
Also more tired than usual
Going to doctors this week for blood test should I mention about these symptoms then?

A. These are symptoms that you might have diabetes. A simply blood sugar test will tell you if you what your blood sugar levels are. If they are really high, you should go to the doctor immediately and they will help you get your blood sugar levels under control (you might need insulin).

How strongly is sugar intake linked to the onset of diabetes, among people who are not overweight?
Q. and is there a figure for daily intake of sugar, above which there is a significantly higher chance of diabetes?
like, does it jump? or is your intake of sugar steadily correlated with the likelihood of you getting diabetes?

A. There is no food that causes diabetes. Consumption of sugar will not cause diabetes or any other condition. It may be interesting for you to know that it's not just sugar that affects people with diabetes - it is any carbohydrate at all including bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, corn etc
All carbs convert into a type of sugar when digested.
So long story short - there is no link between sugar consumption and diabetes.
For more information look up the American Diabetes Association web site

Where can I find good resources on diabetes in the immigrant Latino culture?
Q. I am doing a research paper on finding out the causes and solutions to the problems but I only found two sites including the Kaiser site that have any relevent information. I need anything that has solid statistics and objective viewpoints(or at least close to it) on the subject. Thanks!
A. Besides google, you can check out the websites of the major insulin manufacturers. Novo-nordisk, Bayer, Eli Lily,Takeda and others have information for health care providers and have done studies in relation to their products. You can also look into medical journals like JAMA and Lancet for relevant papers and articles. Hope that helps.
