Guest guest Posted August 11, 1998 Report Share Posted August 11, 1998 , We were just discussing speech/developmental delays yesterday and over half the kids on the list have it. However, we have found a new trend, cuz the docs dont know anything about it. SJHarlow@... http://www.c4isr.com/harlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that this is not uncommon in my family. His speech is not delayed. Keep in mind he did not have a feeding tube until he was two. He is very short for his age (bottom of the chart). He has cherub type cheeks and is rather solid looking. Jen ( 11/7/95, eosinophilic esophagitis, food allergies, asthma) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 1998 Report Share Posted August 12, 1998 My son used to have that kind of chest. He has always been very pale. His dirty diapers were even white sometimes (I mean, the poo poo was white in color). As far as big eyes go, I don't know, because big eyes runs in our family. He does always have bags under his eyes, always!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I'm in Adelaide, Australia. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 6 years ago and have now been on insulin for about 2 1/2 years. No major complications, but it is a constant battle to maintain some form of control. Having a read through the messages so far, here are a few points that I have learned: 1: Exercise is a big help. Not only to 'burn off' glucose but to lower weight, and to help one's insulin work more effectively. Aerobic actvitiy (for me) works better. Helps with the stress (and energy levels) too. 2: My Dietician told me it is PROTEIN that tells us that we have eaten. Include protein in meals to stop feeling hungry (if you are worried about cholesterol, how about some tuna or other fish, say a tuna salad..fish oils can be VERY healthy). 3: Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. Sugars (of which there are diffferent types) are forms of carbohydrate). The cells in the body usually burn the simplest sugar called GLUCOSE, and insulin regulates the level of glucose in the bloodstream. There are other forms of sugar such as fructose (found in fruit) and Lactose (found in milk) but the body needs to convert these into glucose before it can use them (they are usually glucose units chained together in some form). 4: As carbodyrates need to be converted into glucose before they can be used, they have less of an effect on glucose levels than straight glucose (found in cane sugar). Foods such as whole weat pasta take quite a while, so they don't raise the glucose level much - but keep the level for much longer. This is particularly good for diabetics where the pancreas does work to some degree. It allows the necessary insulin to be produced over a longer period of time, giving a more even glucose level (and also gives you energy for longer). There is a number used to give an idea on this called the GLYCAEMIC INDEX (GI). The lower the number, the lower the effect on blood glucose levels. 5: Most of managing diabetes comes down to a healthy lifestyle: Healthy eating (low GI, low fat), Plenty of exercise, avoid stress and no smoking. 6: Support of family & friends is very important. Being diagnosed with diabetes changes onnes life - and it is a hard life as well. 7: Everybody is different. What works for one person may not work for another. Part of coming to terms with diabetes is learning how it affects the body. In terms of chat..I am generally online during office hours - which is basically Sunday-Thursday evenings in the 'States. All the best, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
