What are the chances our baby girl could get diabetes?

My boyfriend got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 3 days before our daughter was born, 3 months later I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am really worried for our 8 month old baby girl. We are going to watch her carb intake as she gets older but wanted to know what the chances were for her getting it are.

As you know, diabetes does not come from eating too many carbs.
I have a daughter that was dxed when she was 2 yrs old.She is now 20 and doing fine.
I agree with you that not allowing her to eat just McNuggets and cool aid are just healthy habits to get into.
You can’t just sit around and worry every day.The chances are not known.
Enjoy your daughter .

What is the accurate level of diabetes during pregnancy?

Hi i am 28 weeks pregnant and i am suffering from gestational diabetes and from last week i have been monitoring my blood sugar levels by following a special diet and regular exercise. And after all this my sugar level has come under control but sometimes it comes in between 5m/mol and sometimes its just under a required level that means 6.7m/mol (after meal). So i was just wondering as long it comes under 7m/mol is good or as lower is better?

Lower is better, but this is not something you should stress too much about as long as it’s under 7. Stress can actually raise blood glucose. Keep up the healthy diet, exercise daily, and don’t fret.

You should be aware that many women who have had gestational diabetes will develop type two diabetes later in life. You should also be aware that you can prevent it. The most important thing you can do right now is learn all you can about a healthy, high nutrient, low carb Calorie diet. Basically what that means is more raw natural fruits and vegetables and fewer man made products which are often stripped of important nutrients. The nutrients that keep your cells and organs healthy. When cells become unhealthy, they become insulin resistant. That’s when your pancreas produces too much insulin as the blood sugar levels go up. That can cause several things to happen and that is why such a high percentage of the population is unhealthy. For more, look up metabolic syndrome to see exactly what is going on in your body. Watch the video linked below, it’s revealing:

What happens if someone with bad diabetes refuses to amputate a dead foot?

If someone that has sugar diabetes does not amputate a bad foot… Can it kill them?
They are saying his heart rate is only 20% and is too weak to preform an amputation.

I am afraid they are all correct. There may be the possibility of doing the amputation under an epidural injection (like for having a baby). This is a lot less stress on the heart than a general anesthetic but isn’t free of risks either. It is also very stressful for the patient as they can hear the saws etc.

How does Diabetes hurt the skin? & what are the signs of Diabetes?

I read on the doctors wall where they have posters informing you of different diseases and they had one where diabetes can hurt your skin and said "Protect Your Skin" And I am just curious to know. How does diabetes hurt your skin? What would your skin look like when it is affected by diabetes?
My concern is because my mom know has Diabetes type 2 and I am concern for myself and not sure if I have the signs. No health insurance.

A lot of times certain diabetic medicines make your skin more susceptible to burns when being in the sun, and when your diabetic it takes a lot longer for your blood to clot when you get a scratch or a sore. Since it takes longer for these things to heal you also become more open to infections and etc.
