Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Rose, could you please direct me to where you saw on my website where it says that being overweight is the cause of diabetes..On the main diabetes page I found the following info for the cause of diabetes Sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and age accelerate development of the disease in susceptible individuals. The factors that determine whether an individual develops type 2 diabetes or not are mainly genetic (i.e., in the family). Thanks for any help you can give I hope this finds you and yours well Mark E.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Also Rose. On the introduction to Pancreatitis Here is the list that follows for the cause of pancreatitis Causes: The major causes are long-standing alcohol consumption and biliary stone disease. In developed countries, the most common cause of acute pancreatitis is alcohol abuse. On the cellular level, ethanol leads to intracellular accumulation of digestive enzymes and their premature activation and release. On the ductal level, ethanol increases the permeability of ductules, which allow enzymes to reach the parenchyma, resulting in pancreatic damage. Ethanol increases the protein content of the pancreatic juice and decreases bicarbonate levels and trypsin inhibitor concentrations. This leads to the formation of protein plugs that block the pancreatic outflow and obstruction. Another major cause of acute pancreatitis is biliary stone disease (eg, cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis). A biliary stone may lodge in the pancreatic duct or ampulla of Vater and obstruct the pancreatic duct, leading to extravasation of enzymes into the parenchyma. Minor causes of acute pancreatitis Medications, including azathioprine, corticosteroids, sulfonamides, thiazides, furosemides, NSAIDs, mercaptopurine, methyldopa, and tetracyclines Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Hypertriglyceridemia (When the triglyceride (TG) level exceeds 1000 mg/U, an episode of pancreatitis is more likely.) Peptic ulcer disease Abdominal or cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, which may insult the gland by ischemia Trauma to the abdomen or back, resulting in sudden compression of the gland against the spine posteriorly Carcinoma of the pancreas, which may lead to pancreatic outflow obstruction Viral infections, including mumps, sackievirus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis virus, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and rubella Bacterial infections, such as mycoplasma Intestinal parasites, such as ascaris, which can block the pancreatic outflow Pancreas divisum Scorpion and snake bites Vascular factors, such as ischemia or vasculitis I hope this helps in your opinion of the website, but please if you think I need to change something. I will be happy to look at it. This is our site and I need all the help I can get. I mean it. I appreciate all your input. I hope this finds you and yours well Mark E.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 I also developed Type II diabetes, also when all of this started, also right after my gallbladder surgery. Scary.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 It's never been a secret that a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight, along with some other factors can lead to Type II diabetes. That describes a great number of seniors and now, Baby Boomers. Remember the PSAs (public service announcements) on TV with the tired, 40ish chubby lady? This full-figured gal was very physically active until she became ill. I'd swim and walk miles each week. Now I'm lucky to be going back and forth to the toilet! -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Here is what it says on the FAQ section under diabetes......it say often associated and most physicians..... Type 2 diabetes is often associated with being overweight, and most physicians believe that maintaining a normal body weight can help reduce the risk of this condition in predisposed individuals. A number of studies have shown that regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. I can go in and edit this pretty easily. Mark E.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Here's an even scarier one, I developed what was called Type I (but doesn't always act like it) before I had my first known attack and I ran across an article somewhere (I'll have to dig it up) that stated that sometimes the first sign of chronic pancreatitis is diabetes, before even a pancreatic attack. Also, when I went to the symposium in october, we had an endocrinologist who spoke about diabetes and chronic pancreatitis and he said it isn't really type I or Type II, but a type III as it acts like both on different occasions (like mine does).

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 i just read some where that the only difference between type one and insulin dependent type two is that if you were able to control your diabetis with exersize, diet or pills at some point you are forever considered type two...type one is if you were insulin dependent right from the time you were diagnosed...thats the only difference --- Kimber wrote: > Here's an even scarier one, I developed what was > called Type I (but > doesn't always act like it) before I had my first > known attack and I ran > across an article somewhere (I'll have to dig it up) > that stated that > sometimes the first sign of chronic pancreatitis is > diabetes, before > even a pancreatic attack. > > Also, when I went to the symposium in october, we > had an endocrinologist > who spoke about diabetes and chronic pancreatitis > and he said it isn't > really type I or Type II, but a type III as it acts > like both on > different occasions (like mine does). > Kimber > > -- > > > > > Kimber > > hominid2@... > > California State Chapter Representative > > Pancreatitis Association, International > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Mark: I want to thank you for posting the article that included the list of meds that could cause pancreatitis. You see, I could not figure out what might have cause my current flare up and realized that it might have been triggered by my going back to methyldopa for hypertension. I had been off of it for a very long time because it made me very groggy. It also lowered my pressure too much. My pressure began to rise recently and my internist advised me to reintroduce a smaller dose. Hmmmmmm? -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
