The reason I’m asking this is because lately my heart just seems to be feeling odd like it’s working harder than it used to for no reason on a daily basis. Sometimes it really hurts to the point that I have to hold my chest. And the blood circulation in my wrists and legs just seem to well… feel like they’re tightening, sensitive, and/or feeling empty(or a little numb) and I don’t know why.
There are several signs of diabetes. The ones you have are not consistent with any of them. I have two recommendations… First, see a doctor. Second, you can’t hurt anything by adopting a healthy, nutrient rich, natural foods based diet along with some moderate daily exercise.

I already exercise almost everyday, limit alchohol, sweets, sugars and carbs. Sleep 8 hours a night, and do yoga. What else can I do?
You are doing all you need to do. But, let me tell you if you’re parents have diabetes it is possible you will still get it even though you are doing all you can do. I have been told that Type 1 Diabetes is hereditary, that’s the one you get as a child. And type 2 is not hereditary, which is the one you get as an adult. Type 2 Diabetes, I think is easier to control because people with type 2 can take pills or even control their diabetes with diet and exercise alone. Best of luck to you and your family.

I am 27 weeks pregnant, I go in for my glucose test in 3 weeks. I was just wondering if there are any warning signs that I may have gestational diabetes. This is my second pregnancy, I didn’t have any problems with my first pregnancy nor do I have a history of diabetes or high blood pressure or anything like that. I have just been feeling really sick the past few days. Every time I eat I feel very nauseous and sometimes even have stomach pain. Does anyone know if this is normal? Thanks.
increased thirst and urination
swelling of hand and feet
nausia and dizzyness
feeling shaky before meals
same as if you had high blood sugar.
also the baby may show to be large in size on an ultrasound. as far as your symptomes thats just pregnancy in general.

The other day, my mom was not feeling well, and so she was not thinking clearly, and got distracted while preparing her Insulin. She thinks she might have actually forgot to put any insulin into the syringe! But she had pulled the syringe back enough to allow the air in, so she would have injected just air into herself. Is this dangerous? What could happen?
Air is only dangerous when it enters the vein. There’s all this hype about air bubbles causing you to die. This is called an air embolus, and if an air bubble reaches your lungs you very well could die. However, the amount of air has to be a lot! Not tiny little air bubbles…
You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Notice that the air has to be injected into the vein. Insulin is always injected into the subcutaneous (fat) tissue. Even if she did inject a whole insulin syringe full of air into herself, it would have gone into her fatty tissue, not her vein, and therefore poses no threat. If she doesn’t know if she took her insulin though, she needs to check her blood sugar often to make sure that her sugar doesn’t get too high.

While Type 1 Diabetes is not preventable, Type 2 Diabetes can be prevented through 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day and healthy eating habits. Split moderate exercises up into 10 minute increments to help prevent diabetes with tips from a family nurse practitioner in this free video on diabetes prevention.
