These may cause impaired brain development, foetal abnormalities, development delays, pre-term deliveries, low birth-weight infants andmay even lead to miscarriages. Don't get scared. Just know what to eat and what not. Here are some tips on happy eating during pregnancy. 

Food to avoid.

Raw meat: Resist from consuming uncooked and raw meat and seafood like sushi. That is because these expose you to a high risk of Listeria and Salmonella poisoning that can cause miscarriage. Listeria is also known to cause blood poisoning in foetus.

Deli meat: Deli meat may be contaminated with Listeria bacteria which results in miscarriage or even still-birth. If you cannot resist that hot dog, reheat it until it is steaming hot.

Refrigerated pates or meat spreads: The Listeria contamination is the reason why these should be avoided as well. It is safe to eat the canned or shelf-stable versions only.

Raw eggs: These may contain Salmonella. Avoid food that might contain raw egg Like raw cake batter, raw cookie dough, homemade ice cream, custards, mayonnaise, unpasteurized egg nog or Hollandaise sauce as well as some ceasar salad dressings.

Soft cheese: They are yummy, agreed, but try to stay from them for a while. Avoid Feta, Brie, and Camembert cheese, blue-veined cheese, Queso Blanco, Queso Fresco and Panela. They are safe to eat only if they are labeled “pasteurized”.

Liver:  Although liver is a rich source of iron, it contains a high levels of Vitamin A which can be harmful to the baby when eaten in excess and lead to severe birth defects like bulging fontanelles or vision impairment.

Unpasteurized milk and juices:  In other words, raw milk and untreated juices stored for a long time should be avoided. It is advisable to have Milk and juices available in tetrapacks as they have been pasteurized.

Alcohol: Many foetal abnormalities and birth defects have been documented and associated with use of alcohol during pregnancy.

By practicing a few restraints till the time your baby comes to the world can lead to a healthy and problem free pregnancy.

Juvenile diabetes is an autoimmune disorder which can be due to environmental trigger or virus, which hampers the function of beta cell. Once the beta cells are destroyed the body is unable to produce insulin.

Weight fluctuations also fall under the umbrella of possible diabetes signs and symptoms. When you lose sugar through frequent urination, you also lose calories. At the same time, diabetes may keep the sugar from your food from reaching your cells — leading to constant hunger. The combined effect is potentially rapid weight loss, especially if you have type 1 diabetes.


























When you have diabetes, excess sugar (glucose) builds up in your blood. Your kidneys are forced to work overtime to filter and absorb the excess sugar. If your kidneys can't keep up, the excess sugar is excreted into your urine along with fluids drawn from your tissues. This triggers more frequent urination, which may leave you dehydrated. As you drink more fluids to quench your thirst, you'll urinate even more




Excessive thirst can be a symptom of diabetes mellitus, and is usually accompanied by passing excessive amounts of urine

The classical symptoms of untreated diabetes are loss of weight, polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger). Symptoms may develop rapidly (weeks or months) in type 1 diabetes, while they usually develop much more slowly and may be subtle or absent in type 2 diabetes.

Prolonged high blood glucose can cause glucose absorption in the lens of the eye, which leads to changes in its shape, resulting in vision changes. Blurred vision is a common complaint leading to a diabetes diagnosis; type 1 should always be suspected in cases of rapid vision change, whereas with type 2 change is generally more gradual, but should still be suspected A number of skin rashes that can occur in diabetes are collectively known as diabetic dermadromes.

Complications

All forms of diabetes increase the risk of long-term complications. These typically develop after many years (10–20), but may be the first symptom in those who have otherwise not received a diagnosis before that time. The major long-term complications relate to damage to blood vessels. Diabetes doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease.^[12] The main "macrovascular" diseases (related to atherosclerosis of larger arteries) are ischemic heart disease (angina and myocardial infarction), stroke andperipheral vascular disease.s sometimes involve your vision. High levels of blood sugar pull fluid from your tissues, including the lenses of your eyes. This affects your ability to focus.

Left untreated, diabetes can cause new blood vessels to form in your retina — the back part of your eye — as well as damage established vessels. For most people, these early changes do not cause vision problems. However, if these changes progress undetected, they can lead to vision loss and blindness.

The major goal in treating diabetes is to minimize any elevation of blood sugar (glucose) without causing abnormally low levels of blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin,exercise, and a diabetic diet

 Diabetes also causes "microvascular" complications—damage to the small blood vessels.Diabetic retinopathy, which affects blood vessel formation in the retina of the eye, can lead to visual symptoms, reduced vision, and potentially blindness. Diabetic nephropathy, the impact of diabetes on the kidneys, can lead to scarring changes in the kidney tissue, loss of small or progressively larger amounts of protein in the urine, and eventually chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis. Diabetic neuropathy is the impact of diabetes on the nervous system, most commonly causing numbness, tingling and pain in the feet and also increasing the risk of skin damage due to altered sensation. Together with vascular disease in the legs, neuropathy contributes to the risk of diabetes-related foot problems (such as diabetic foot ulcers) that can be difficult to treat and occasionally require amputation.

Diabetic emergencies

People (usually with type 1 diabetes) may also present with diabetic ketoacidosis, a state of metabolic dysregulation characterized by the smell ofacetone, a rapid, deep breathing known as Kussmaul breathing, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, and altered states of consciousness.

A rare but equally severe possibility is hyperosmolar nonketotic state, which is more common in type 2 diabetes and is mainly the result of dehydration.

 Message for parents
Type 1 diabetes is not a death sentence and parents should not over react in this situation. Encourage the child to continue with normal social activities and stress the similarities rather than the differences between a message for parents diabetic and other normal child. A child’s self esteem and self image can be threatened by diabetes. Be aware of it. Consider counseling, not only for your diabetic child, but for the whole family.   image:internet
