Diabetes EndocrinologistSo you have diabetes! Do you want to live healthy with diabetes? An Endocrinologist Doctor is an  important part of your life! This doctor will advise you on any areas that diabetes can affect.

They may look into any of these medical areas:

  • Feet (wounds, skin, toe nails)
  • A1C levels (previous three months of  glucose levels)
  • High Cholesterol
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Thyroid Disorders

Endocrinologist Doctors will also recommend you visit the Opthamologist (Doctor who studies diseases of the eye), and the Dentist!

But don’t sweat it! Take advantage of this doctor and use it to be healthy! Become friends with your doctors and with time they will respect you for your knowledge and your desire to be healthy.

Diabetes is not something to ignore. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you should visit your Endocrinologist Doctor every 3-6 months. (The doctor will make this decision based off of how well controlled your sugar levels have been.)

Before you know it, your Endocrinologist Doctor and his team can be your friend! You may have diabetes, but you can be in control and live a healthy life!

What is Gestational Diabetes? It’s diabetes that occurs in non-diabetic women during pregnancy. Like type one and type 2 diabetes, the pancreas is unable to produce insulin or use the insulin it produces in the proper way. Gestational Diabetes affects about 3 to 6 percent of all pregnant women. It usually begins in the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy weeks 24 and 28 and usually disappears shortly after delivery.

Pregnancy is a time of promise and expectation, but it can also raise the possibility for some women that they will develop Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or GDM. If you are uncertain if you have gestational diabetes, you need to check with your Doctor. High sugar levels can harm your baby and your own body if not kept under control.

This is a wonderful video of some of the important aspects with what is Gestational Diabetes in pregnancy. Please watch this video and then get more information about diabetes from my blog and the other related links on the left side of my website.
