Sick day managment in diabetic children and adolescentImtiaz Baig
This document outlines rules for managing sick days in children with diabetes to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis. It discusses increasing insulin needs during illness due to stress hormones and insulin resistance. Key rules include continuing oral intake, frequent blood sugar and ketone monitoring, giving scheduled insulin and extra rapid-acting insulin for high blood sugar or ketones as needed, treating nausea, preventing dehydration, resting, and knowing when to call the doctor for uncontrolled symptoms. Following these sick day rules can help keep diabetic children out of the hospital during illness.
Diabetes is a lifelong condition that requires careful blood glucose management through insulin, monitoring, diet, and exercise. It cannot be cured, and people with diabetes like Claire will always need insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels. Monitoring blood sugar levels several times a day is essential for control, and there are critical conditions like hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia that require treatment. Managing diabetes takes a team effort and planning for daily activities and emergencies.

PCOS can negatively impact mental health due to various factors such as stress from PCOS symptoms, genetic predisposition, chronic inflammation, abnormal hormone levels like anovulation and low progesterone, insulin resistance, and some birth control pills. Adopting an anti-inflammatory diet through weight loss, reducing sugar intake, and time-restricted eating as well as addressing insulin resistance by lowering carbohydrates, avoiding snacking, getting enough sleep, and reducing sitting can help improve mental health issues related to PCOS.
How to Keep Your Child with Diabetes Out of the Hospital or ERStephen Ponder
No, it is generally not recommended to treat high blood sugars and ketones with an insulin pump alone. When a person has both high blood sugar and ketones, it means they require more insulin than their basal rates can provide. It is safer in this situation to treat with injections of rapid-acting insulin until blood sugar and ketones start to improve. The pump basal rates may need to be increased temporarily as well. Treating only with the pump risks not delivering enough insulin quickly enough to address the problem. Shots provide a larger, faster-acting dose that is more appropriate in this medical emergency situation.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that is prescribed by physicians and monitored by dietitians to help control seizures, especially in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome whose seizures are resistant to medication. It works because without carbohydrates, the body uses fat as its primary fuel which produces ketones that may have an anticonvulsant effect in the brain. Strict adherence is required by carefully measuring calories, fluids and proteins. While difficult for adults to follow long-term, a modified Atkins diet can achieve similar effects.
Diabetes management requires good planning so when something like an illness sneaks in, it can throw everything off. Knowing what to do when you are sick can help cut down on the worry and panic.

This document summarizes a book called "The Diabetes Destroyer" that claims to provide a method for permanently reversing diabetes. It describes how the author, David Andrews, was able to cure his type 2 diabetes after being hospitalized. His friend Jonathan conducted additional research and they developed a unique method using diet and lifestyle changes to control insulin levels. The book contains their findings on managing diabetes naturally and reversing it within 4 weeks by regulating insulin production and glucose levels without medication. It claims readers can learn the "hidden secrets" doctors don't share to cure diabetes, even pre-diabetes, in as little as one week. Links are provided to posts about the book on Facebook, Pinterest, Google Plus and Academia.edu
This document discusses exercise guidelines and considerations for clients with diabetes. It defines the two main types of diabetes - type 1 where the body does not produce insulin and type 2 where cells are resistant to insulin. Exercise is beneficial for both types as it enhances glucose usage in muscles, improving blood sugar control. The document recommends low impact activities like cycling, walking and water aerobics from 20-60 minutes, 4-7 days per week at 50-90% of maximum heart rate. It stresses being aware of signs of hypoglycemia as exercise can lower blood sugar for hours after. Clients should check blood sugar before, during and after exercise and always have a carbohydrate snack available.
Early onset diabetes in fathers can lead to lower insulin secretion in offspring, according to studies of metabolic phenotypes and offspring of parents with and without diabetes. Additionally, children diagnosed with diabetes before age 15 are more likely to develop worse renal outcomes than those diagnosed after 15, as the disease acts as an autoimmune condition and causes microalbuminuria. New treatments like insulin pump therapy provide advantages over multiple daily injections for children with diabetes by allowing better glucose control and improved quality of life.
"The LEW.1WR1 rat is the only model so far that exhibits a low incidence of spontaneous diabetes that can be increased by perturbation. By far the most extensively studied of the models are the two BB rat strains, but all of them have provided interesting information. There are to date no rat models based on the insertion of transgenes, though genetic complementation has been used elegantly to identify the genetic defect in Komeda rats."
TAKING MEDICATIONS Why take insulin? How does Insulin work?
Diabetes is a progressive condition. Depending on what type a person has, their healthcare team will be able to determine which medications they should be taking and help them understand how your medications work. They can demonstrate how to inject insulin. Effective drug therapy in combination with healthy lifestyle choices, can lower blood glucose levels, reduce the risk for diabetes complications and produce other clinical benefits. The goal is for the patient to be knowledgeable about insulin, including its action, side effects, efficacy, toxicity, prescribed dosage, appropriate timing and frequency of administration, effect of missed and delayed doses and instructions for storage, travel and safety.
The document discusses the ketogenic diet and how it can help with weight loss and health conditions. Key points:
- When carbohydrate intake is limited, the body uses fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates, making it difficult to store fat.
- Two children and one adult saw a 90% reduction in seizures by achieving ketosis on the Atkins diet.
- Staying hydrated is important on a keto diet by drinking at least 3 liters of water per day for men and 2.4 liters for women.
- The author lost weight and improved their health using a low carb ketogenic diet after struggling with cancer and hypoglycemia.
Mrs. Douglas, a 76-year-old female with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and a history of heart failure and myocardial infarction, was admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath and swelling in her legs. Her lab values show elevated glucose, sodium, cholesterol, and triglycerides. A nutrition assessment found she consumes around 1800 calories daily but could benefit from following a cardiac diet lower in sodium, saturated fat and refined carbohydrates. A 1500 calorie diet is recommended for weight loss and heart health upon discharge.
CD is an autoimmune disease where ingesting gluten damages finger-like projections (villi) in the small intestine, preventing nutrient absorption. It affects people genetically susceptible and is diagnosed through blood tests detecting antibodies and intestinal biopsies. Managing CD requires a strict lifelong gluten-free diet to avoid symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition. While there is no cure, following the diet can control the disease.

The document discusses diabetes mellitus (DM) in pregnant women. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is glucose intolerance during pregnancy and its prevalence is increasing due to sedentary lifestyles and changes in diet. As pregnancy progresses, insulin resistance develops necessitating increased insulin secretion. When this compensation is inadequate, GDM develops. Women with GDM are at increased risk of future diabetes and their children are also at higher risk. Screening and managing GDM can help prevent transmitting glucose intolerance between generations.

Sugar Surfing with a CGM (copyright) TLC Advanced Diabetes Retreat April 26 2014Stephen Ponder
1) Managing diabetes well requires comprehending changing glucose levels, adjusting to situations, and frequent assessments like surfing glucose levels with a CGM.
2) Effective CGM use involves wearing it often, checking trends, understanding sensor and insulin lag times, and being willing to experiment to improve skills over time.
3) "Sugar surfing" with a CGM means anticipating glucose level changes and giving small, frequent insulin doses or carbohydrate intake to keep levels in target range despite fluxes, rather than large reactive doses.
This document provides information on diabetes including definitions, epidemiology, diagnosis, etiologic classifications, physiology, presentation, investigations, management, treatment, insulin types, and special considerations for pediatric diabetes. It defines diabetes as a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia caused by insulin deficiency or resistance. Key points include that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition resulting in absolute insulin deficiency, while type 2 involves insulin resistance with relative deficiency. Diagnosis requires hyperglycemic symptoms and blood glucose criteria. Management involves a multidisciplinary team, medical treatment including insulin administration and nutrition management, and screening for acute and long-term complications.
This document discusses diabetes in pregnancy, including gestational diabetes and pre-existing diabetes. It provides details on screening and managing gestational diabetes through medical nutrition therapy, exercise, glucose monitoring, and insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents if needed. It also discusses fetal surveillance, delivery planning, neonatal care, and postpartum management and follow-up. Case examples are presented to illustrate how these guidelines would be applied. The key aspects of managing diabetes in pregnancy are screening, glycemic control through lifestyle and medical interventions, close fetal and maternal monitoring, and delivery planning tailored to each woman's risk factors and disease status.
This document provides information on carbohydrate counting for diabetes management. It defines carbohydrate counting as a method to calculate grams of carbohydrates consumed. The goals are to maintain consistent carb intake, increase dietary flexibility, and manage blood glucose. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream. Foods like fruits, starches, grains and milk contain carbs. Counting carbs involves identifying carb-containing foods and determining servings equal to 15 grams of carbs. Tools like mobile apps, food labels and visual guides can help estimate carb amounts. Physical activity also impacts blood sugar, so carb intake may need adjustment based on activity level and intensity.
This document discusses neonatal hypoglycemia. It begins by defining neonatal hypoglycemia and describing the typical blood glucose levels in newborns compared to older children and adults. It then discusses the main causes of hypoglycemia including decreased production/stores, increased utilization, and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of neonatal hypoglycemia are described. Recurrent or resistant hypoglycemia may require additional treatment such as hydrocortisone, diazoxide, or octreotide to help control blood glucose levels. Infants with symptomatic hypoglycemia should be followed long term to monitor for potential neurological or developmental issues.
Type II diabetes and gestational diabetes can be treated through nutritional management. Obese individuals have the highest risk of developing type II diabetes due to insulin resistance and metabolic alterations caused by excess fat accumulation. Nutritional therapy focuses on controlling blood glucose levels through moderate calorie, low-fat, high-fiber diets with balanced macronutrients. For gestational diabetes, nutritional management is similar but carb intake is slightly lower to prevent ketosis in both mother and baby. The goal is to support a healthy pregnancy and delivery for both.
This case study describes a 4 year, 10 month old female client with epilepsy who is being treated with the anti-epileptic drug Keppra. The document provides an overview of epilepsy including prevalence, diagnosis, medical treatment and the role of medical nutrition therapy, specifically the ketogenic diet. It then assesses the client's current nutrition status and medications, finding her carbohydrate intake to be high. The nutrition diagnosis identifies a knowledge deficit around cup use. The intervention plans to offer a regular cup and increase protein intake while decreasing carbohydrates. Progress will be monitored at a follow up appointment.
The document discusses various aspects of the Atkins diet and other low-carb, high-protein diets. It notes that such diets can promote weight loss and improved health markers without limiting calories by increasing fat burning. While an adjustment, the body can adapt to eating fewer carbs and resisting cravings over time. Proper guidance is needed when transitioning children off of therapeutic ketogenic diets. Overall, consistency and a long-term mindset are keys to success with any diet plan.
This document provides a case study on a 41-year-old male patient with chronic kidney disease who is undergoing hemodialysis 3 times per week. It includes his medical history, social history, physical assessment, laboratory results, current diet, medication regimen, and recommendations for improving his diet. A registered dietitian provides an analysis of his current intake compared to goals, recommends an appropriate dietary pattern to meet his needs, and includes an ADIME note with interventions and monitoring plans.
This 15-year-old male presented with polyuria, fatigue, and weight loss over the past month. His labs showed severely elevated blood glucose and ketones, along with an A1C of 13%. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and started on basal and bolus insulin therapy. Type 1 diabetes results from beta cell destruction leading to insulin deficiency, whereas type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance along with relative insulin deficiency. This patient's presentation with ketoacidosis and need for insulin therapy indicates he has type 1 rather than type 2 diabetes.
The document introduces the ageLOC TR90 weight management and body shaping system. It claims the system helps maintain lean muscle mass while losing fat through gene expression science, resulting in a leaner, healthier appearance in 90 days. The system includes shakes, supplements, an eating plan focusing on protein and limiting sugars/processed foods, and an active lifestyle. Clinical results reportedly showed significant fat loss and weight reduction as well as decreased cravings and hunger.

This document discusses how people with diabetes can participate in sports and exercise safely by managing their blood glucose levels. It explains that all sports are allowed for people with diabetes, but they need a plan to monitor and adjust insulin doses and carbohydrate intake before, during, and after physical activity, as exercise can either increase or decrease blood glucose depending on its intensity and duration. The document provides specific tips, such as checking blood sugar more frequently during exercise and consuming carbohydrates to prevent or treat low blood sugar. It emphasizes the importance of education coaches and teammates about diabetes management as well as having necessary supplies available for physical activity.
Meaghan Anderson presented on challenging food situations for people with diabetes. She discussed macronutrients and their impact on blood glucose, how to calculate carbohydrates and estimate insulin needs. She explained glycemic index and load, and emphasized the importance of chewing food and using carb counting to estimate blood sugar impact of meals.
This document provides information on using temporary basal rates and advanced bolus options on insulin pumps. It discusses when to increase or decrease temporary basal rates for situations like illness, exercise, or fasting labs. Examples are given of setting temporary basal rates for activities like basketball practice when blood sugar may run low. The document also covers normal, extended, and dual/extended bolus options and provides examples of when each would be best for different types of meals. The concept of a "super bolus" is introduced which delivers additional insulin by suspending part of the basal rate. Tools for reminders and multiple basal patterns are also mentioned.
This document provides information on counting carbohydrates for managing blood sugar levels for those with diabetes. It discusses that carbohydrates have the greatest effect on post-meal blood sugar, and counting carbs allows for better glucose control and more flexibility. Standard serving sizes are outlined for various food groups containing carbohydrates like breads, fruits, milk, and starchy vegetables. Artificial sweeteners and proper portion sizes are also discussed as important factors for blood sugar management.

This is a presentation authored and developed by my friend and colleague Dr. Barbara Anderson of Baylor College of Medicine. The presentation is a module in the 2014 Advanced Diabetes Seminar, hosted by Texas Lions Camp.
In this discussion, Dr. Anderson dives into the topic of “Diabetes Family Teamwork with Teens: What is Success?”
Architects and architecture play a critical role in creating an inviting and safe atmosphere for the end user, but they are not clairvoyant about client culture. Organizations are best served and more likely to achieve their desired outcome by spending time educating designers about their organizational culture, vision and what will spell success when the project is completed.
The more information about the organization concerning outcomes and results that can be conveyed before the design phase even commences, the more likely the desired outcome will be achieved.
It was my privilege to present some of these ideas at the Texas Society of Architects in Austin.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
