How does adaptation and acclimation play a role in gestational diabetes which occurs during pregnancy?

Q. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy when the woman develops diabetes but loses it affect birth sometimes or when treated. I want to know how adaptation and acclimation play a part.

A. I got gestational diabetes when I was pregnant and my Dr. said the stress the baby causes on the body, causes you body to function as if you were in your 50s. The stress brings out any future conditions you may get. When the pregnancy was over I was diabetes free. But I will most likely get it again later if I do not control my diet, sugar intake and exercise regime for the rest of my life.


How does the development of diabetes directly relate to a feedback system?
Q. Paragraph on how Development of diabetes is directly related to feedback system, In your description describe how the feedback system works, organs, & molecules involved, also the direct effect of breakdown of a feedback system.

A. Does this bit of your homework really need to be explained? Glucose is high, pancreas releases insulin to bring it down. Glucose is low, pancreas releases glucagon to bring it up. It's a feedback system. Diabetes is when the insulin either can't be made, not enough can be made or the insulin doesn't work as well as it should and therefore the glucose level stays high.


What type of diabetes happens during pregnancy?
Q. Like the question states, what type of diabetes happens during pregnancy.
More importantly, why does the head of most babies are usually abnormally large after such a pregnancy?
I am more looking for an answer on why there heads are usually large after such a pregnancy.

It is a question my teacher has been asking and he wants to know why.

A. There is a slight increased risk of the fetus or newborn dying when the mother has gestational diabetes, but this risk is lowered with effective treatment and careful watching of the mother and fetus. High blood glucose levels often go back to normal after delivery. However, women with gestational diabetes should be watched closely after giving birth and at regular intervals to detect diabetes early.
Up to 40% of women with gestational diabetes develop full-blown diabetes within 5-10 years after delivery. The risk may be increased in obese women.
Please see the web pages for more details on Gestational diabetes.


What are the relationships between obesity and diabetes?
Q. Diabetes are greatly occur to diabetic person by several fold compare to a non-diabetic person. so there should be some medical explanations right. but i could not really find any relation between them. Help me please.

A. Okay first off lets set something straight, type II diabetes can strike anyone !

Type II diabetes is also mostly genetic, if a family member has it ie,
parent , uncle, grandfather, great aunt...etc.

Then you have a much higher chance of developing it.
You can excercise and diet all you want to ward it off, but that doesn't mean you won't get it !

A lot of medical people will tell you that eating wrong and being fat makes you a candidate for developing type II diabetes.

Thats not quite correct ! There are many thousands of over weight people, and obese people who do not ever develope diabetes.

Diabetes is not caused by what you put in your mouth, but by all means do excercise and eat healthy for other reasons.

It really pisses me off every time some ignoramus says type II
diabetes is caused by being fat and lazy and eating junk food !!!

I'm a type II diabetic and ive never been fat ! Ive never been over weight
and never shoved junk food and sweets down my throat !

I have it because my mother has it, and she too has always been as thin as rake.

But as i said diet and excercise will be of great help to you,
if a family member has it, then dieting and excercise
will not only keep you in shape, but may hold off a diabetes diagnoses
for yourself for many years.

What will happen if you had diabetes and it never got diagnosed?

Q. I'm doing a project on diabetes and i was just curious to see what could happen if you didn't get a blood test or didn't spot the symptoms and went on living with it. Would you go into a coma? Could you die? Whats the worst that could happen?

A. if you were truly diabetic, didn't get diagnosed, didn't get treated, and went about life with no concerns, you'd get very, very sick. you would end up in a hospital where the diabetes would be discovered & you'd get treatment. IF you got that sick & did not go to a hospital for treatment, then you would eventually die. blood sugar that goes high & out of control can kill. it messes up your organs, but you can also have seizures from severe readings (both high and low). the seizure itself could be deadly if you happen to be doing something like driving when it happens or using machinery (though not likely, as you'd already be too sick to do that anyway). you'd likely go into a coma before dying, so you wouldn't feel that. but i have to tell you, you'd most definitely be aware of feeling absolutely crummy before going to the point of coma. when your sugar is high enough to make you sick but not pass out, you can get very nauseous, lots of throwing up, possibly diarrhea, swell up (my husband's face swells up when he's too high). you'd be super tired, cranky, headache, you name it, you'd probably feel it all.


What is Diabetes and how does an unhealthy diets affect it?
Q. What is Diabetes and how does an unhealthy diet affect it?
what is arthritis and does an unhealthy diet affect it??

A. arthritis is pain swelling and stiffness of joints caused either by natural deterioration of cartilage over time (osteoarthritis) or by an autoimmune disease. Diet is not the biggest factor in arthritis but excess weight is not good for patients with arthritis as it puts more stress on joints and some foods are better for joints and the immune system than others. I know people with JRA who find it helpful to stick to a particular diet.


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 exactly is the difference between type1 and type 2 diabetes and what effect do they have on some one?
Q. i was jus curious on the difference between type 1 and 2 diabetes and the effects cause the internet has all these medical answers i juss want a simple answer..thanx

A. Type 2 can be treated with proper diet, medication, and exercise, because your body produces some insulin.

Type 1 can only be treated with insulin injections because your pancreas does not produce any insulin at all. ------------------------
