Q: Discuss the patient’s diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. How would you diagnosis a child with this?
Case Study #1: Diabetes

Hannah is a 10-year-old girl who has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. She is a 4th grade student at Hendricks Elementary School. Prior to her diagnosis, Hannah was very involved in sports and played on the girls volleyball team. Her mother is concerned about how the diagnosis will affect Hannah.

1. Discuss the patient’s diagnosis. Include a definition of the actual disease or condition.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus once known as “juvenile onset” diabetes or “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,” is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism caused by inadequate production of insulin by the pancreas or faulty use of insulin by the cells. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) into energy. Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it typically appears during childhood or adolescence.

2. Identify the factors which could have caused or lead to the particular disease or condition.

3. Describe the signs and symptoms which are associated with the disease or condition.

4. Discuss the diagnostic testing that is usually performed in order to formally diagnose the particular disease or condition.

5. Identify the appropriate treatment (including therapies, medications, etc) which the patient may be prescribed for his/her particular diagnosis.

6. Discuss potential barriers to therapy which the patient may experience due to their unique situation.

7. Discuss alternative treatments which may also benefit the patient.

8. Describe the typical prognosis for a patient with the disease or condition.

9. Identify patient teaching which would benefit the patient in your case study.

I have to do a paper for school and looking for a good website to answer these question.

A: WWW.diabetes.org is the official website for the American Diabetes Assoc.

c) Diabetes insipidus
d) Type II diabetes mellitus
e) None of the above

I'm pretty sure it's NOT A, B, or C.

A: D is the correct answer.

Q: information (thesis) required?
i want some information/thesis on the following topics
- the role of trace elements in juvenile diabetes mellitus
- chromium and other minerals in diabetes mellitus
- micronutrient status in diabetes mellitus

A: Zinc is a constituent of all commercially available Insulins.Naturally occuring Insulin also contains small quantities of Zinc in it. Chromium is a constituent of Glucose tolerance factor of lower animals.Absolute Chromium deficiency caused by prolonged parenteral nutrition causes Impaired glucose tolerance that is corrected by abministration of Chromium in picograms called Chromium picolinate..All juvenile diabetics show mineral deficiencies including Iron. Increasing ingestion of tinned,canned ,fast and pickled foods is causing diabetes and these foods lack micronutrients.

Q: Does milk really suck? Or is it nutritional?
We are the only mammals besides cats who drink milk after infancy. The odd thing is that after infancy, instead of continuing drinking our others milk, we drink cow milk.
On milksucks.com it tells you how keeping your bones strong are easier than you think, and milk isn't required to do the job. In fact, there is an article on why milk and dairy products WON'T help you maintain healthy bones.
Got Breast Cancer? Milksucks.com says this:
Consuming dairy products is linked to an increased risk for breast cancer because dairy products are high in fat, animal protein, and hormones, each of which increases cancer risk. Since the 1980’s, study after study has linked dairy consumption to a high incidence of breast and other cancers. Women seeking to minimize their chances of breast cancer should avoid milk, other dairy products, and meat."
What about heart disease?
Milksucks.com says: Since the early 1970s, study after study after study has implicated cow's milk and other dairy products as a cause of heart disease and clogged arteries. One researcher, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn from the Cleveland Clinic (the top-rated heart clinic in the U.S.), makes people "heart attack-proof" by putting them on a vegan diet (check out his groundbreaking paper in the American Journal of Cardiology, August 99).

Do you or your teens have acne?
Will drinking milk make you greasy, grimy, and pimply? Some doctors suspect that the fat, animal protein, sugar, and hormones in milk irritate the skin, causing break-outs.

Dr. Jerome K. Fisher conducted a clinical study of 1,088 teen-age patients over 10 years and reported to the American Dermatological Association that milk was a principal contributor to some patients' acne. Dr. Fisher found that their acne tapered off as their milk consumption did.

Are your kids sick?

Cow's milk is the number one source of allergies in children, and research links consumption of dairy products, including cow's milk, to colic (stomach cramps), autism, chronic ear infections, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1 or "juvenile-onset" diabetes), acne, obesity, flatulence, constipation, mucus, and a variety of other ailments.

So the question is:
Is milk as good as we think it is?

A: i don't know. i am open for info
i notice i get sick when i drink milk i don't drink it any more. that is a wonderful question

Q: Informed Consent for Infant formula.?

Do you think this should be required information for all families?
For those of you that have jumped on the negative bandwagon, all of this information has been well documented in medical journals. I did both with my twins, breast and bottle.
On alcohol they have warnings because it is a dangerous substance, so is formula. It is undeniable that it kills 1.5 million children per year. WIC in many states is having people sign an informed consent with this information. I am just seeing what others think.
If you don't agree with facts you don't have to be rude.

If you want a specific journal article I can send a link... For the lady that wanted info on appendicitis, here is the link http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/310/6983/836

A: I think informed consent for use of infant formula is a good idea. I don't think the information you've posted in your question is defensible, however.
