Definition

By Mayo Clinic staff

High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) affects people who have diabetes. Several factors can contribute to hyperglycemia in people with diabetes, including food and physical activity choices, illness, nondiabetes medications, or not taking enough glucose-lowering medication.

It's important to treat hyperglycemia, because if left untreated, hyperglycemia can become severe and lead to serious complications requiring emergency care, such as diabetic coma. In the long term, persistent hyperglycemia, even if not severe can lead to complications affecting your eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart.

Symptoms

By Mayo Clinic staff

Hyperglycemia doesn't cause symptoms until glucose values are significantly elevated — above 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 11 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Symptoms of hyperglycemia develop slowly over several days or weeks. The longer blood sugar levels stay high, the more serious the symptoms become.

Early signs and symptoms 
Recognizing early symptoms of hyperglycemia can help you treat the condition promptly. Watch for:

• Frequent urination
• Increased thirst
• Blurred vision
• Fatigue
• Headache

Later signs and symptoms 
If hyperglycemia goes untreated, it can cause toxic acids (ketones) to build up in your blood and urine (ketoacidosis). Signs and symptoms include:

• Fruity-smelling breath
• Nausea and vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Dry mouth
• Weakness
• Confusion
• Coma
• Abdominal pain

When to see a doctor 
Call  emergency medical assistance if:

• You're sick and can't keep any food or fluids down, and
• Your blood glucose levels are persistently above 240 mg/dL (13 mmol/L) with ketones in your urine

Make an appointment with your doctor if:

• You experience ongoing diarrhea or vomiting, but you're able to take some foods or drinks
• You have a fever that lasts more than 24 hours
• Your blood glucose is more than 240 mg/dL (13 mmol/L) even though you've taken your diabetes medication
• You have trouble keeping your blood glucose within the desired range

10 Foods that Look And Help Body Parts!

You are what you eat, but as it turns out, there is a larger similarity between the human body and food than we initially thought. We found 10 foods that look a lot like the body part they actually help. A coincidence? Maybe, but it doesn't take away from this handy advice!

Carrot - Eyes

If you slice a carrot, you will easily identify the similarities between this vegetable and the eye. Indeed, the carrot is wonderful for the eyes; it's rich in vitamins and antioxidants such as beta carotene, which diminish the risk of ocular degeneration, the number one reason for loss of sight among adults.

 

 

Walnut - Brain

The folds, wrinkles and shape of the walnut are reminiscent of that of the brain, and it's little wonder that walnuts are called: "Brain food". Walnuts are full of linoleic alpha acid, an Omega 3 fatty acid, which is essential to the biological process of the body. The amino acid plays an important role in building brain cells and keeping them functioning properly.

 

 

Celery - Bones

The long and thin stems of the celery not only look like bones, they help them too. Celery is an excellent source of silicon, which is part of the molecular structure that gives bones their enormous strength. An interesting coincidence is that bones contain 23% sodium, and so does celery.

 

 

Avocado - Womb

It looks like a womb and it is great for fertility. The avocado is a great source of folic acid, which has been found to reduce the risk of displacement of the cervix. Also, folic acid is recommended for pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant, as it helps in the prevention of birth defects.

 

 

Oysters - Testicles

Research shows that oysters are very beneficial for male sexual organs. Research conducted in Holland found that a diet rich in oysters contains a lot of zinc and folic acid, which vastly improves the quality of the sperm.

 

- 

 

 

Grapefruit- Breast 

The similarity between citric fruits and the female breast might be a coincidence, but it is backed by clear health advantages. The peel of the grapefruit contains a petrochemical called Limonoid, and research done on lab animals and human cells has proven that it helps to delay the reproduction of cancer cells, especially breast cancer.

 

 

Tomato - Heart

If you slice a tomato in half, you'll notice a variety of cells that remind us of the structure of the heart. Research has found that the Lycopene in tomatoes serves as an antioxidant and protects the cellular structures and DNA from free radicals that damage healthy cells, which may contribute to cancer growth. Also, Lycopene reduces cholesterol levels, which may cause heart damage, and also heart disease. Furthermore, adding a little unsaturated fat to tomatoes (such as olive oil or avocado oil), will allow your body to better absorb the Lycopene.

Red Wine - Blood

Red wine is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, including a material called Resveratrol which contains a wealth of health benefits. The resveratrol protects from damaging factors in the blood, including bad cholesterol (LDL). It also lowers the risk of blood clots and prevents the contraction of the blood vessels, which allows for a better blood flow.

 

 

Ginger - Stomach

Anyone who's suffered a stomach ache and drank tea with ginger has already felt the influence of this spice, so it only makes sense that it resembles the digestive system. Ginger is known to fight stomach cramps, reduce vomiting and nausea, help with gassy digestions and strengthen the mucus layer in the stomach.

 

 

Sweet potato - Pancreas

Another food that resembles the organ it helps. The sweet potato is rich in beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant that defends all the tissues in the body, including the pancreas, from damages related to old age or cancer.

[www.keralites.net] : Drinking Water is the First Step to Good Health

Drinking Water is the First Step to Good Health

While we cannot survive a full day without water, so few of us actively drink water each day. But if you shy away from what you may classify as a 'bland' beverage, it could be costing you in a number of other areas. Here are some common ailments that usually result from dehydration and a reminder on just how important drinking water is to our health.

1. Fatigue

If you wake up tired after a full night's sleep or find yourself wanting a nap at mid-day, you may not be drinking enough water to keep you going. Water is a vital source of energy in the body, which keeps our enzymatic activity and bodily processes up to speed. If you are not drinking enough water, your body will take up the remaining water in your system to conduct its various actions, such as digestion. Before bed and after waking, try to drink at least 2 cups of water to ensure you are well hydrated at the end and the beginning of the day.

2. Asthma and Allergies

If you or someone you know has suddenly begun to suffer from allergies, it is possible that it's not the pollen's fault, but rather their own for not drinking enough water. When you are dehydrated, your body restricts airways in order to conserve water and keep it from exiting the body. In addition, as the body loses water, its histamine production increases, and allergy symptoms worsen.

3. High Blood Pressure

Although blood pressure fluctuates in response to a number of factors, it's possible that one of them is dehydration. The blood is made up of 92 percent water when the body is fully hydrated. But when we are dehydrated, the blood becomes thicker, causing a certain resistance to the blood flow and thus resulting in elevated blood pressure and an even higher risk of clotting.
 

4. High Cholesterol

blood pressure, high cholesterol could be the result of a number of factors, but it is certain that dehydration doesn't help. When the body is dehydrated, it produces more cholesterol to prevent water loss in the cells. As your body is in defense mode as a result of not drinking enough water, your cholesterol spikes to make up for the change.

5. Skin Disorders

If you suffer from dry skin, eczema or are prone to rashes and dandruff, it is possible that your skin is not receiving the moisture it needs. When you are dehydrated, the body's ability to eliminate toxins through the skin is impaired, making it more vulnerable to all kinds of skin disorders and dryness. Not drinking enough water could even cause premature wrinkling and discoloration in the skin, and these are all things we end up spending big bucks on in an attempt to find a miracle cream that works. Instead, make sure to drink your 8-10 cups of water daily and you may be able to save your skin and your wallet a lot of the effort.

 

 

 

6. Bladder and Kidney Problems

Dehydration triggers the accumulation of toxins and acid waste that creates an environment for bacteria to thrive. These bacteria-ridden areas can result in bladder and kidney problems, and increase the chances of infection, inflammation and pain in these areas.

7. Digestive Disorders

It's no secret that the key to a good digestive system is drinking enough water, especially lukewarm (room temperature) water. The shortage of water in your body also means a shortage of alkaline minerals calcium and magnesium. These minerals are essential for your digestive system to work effectively, and when you have a shortage, you become more prone to painful and uncomfortable conditions ulcers, gastritis and acid reflux.

8. Constipation

Possibly the most stressful of all digestive disorders, constipation is one of the earliest and clearest signs that your body is not getting the water it needs. Your colon (where the final stages of digestion take place) is one of the primary sources for water in the body. When you are dehydrated, the body continues to draw water from the colon, but this means that waste moves through the large intestine much slower or not at all. This results in painful cramps in your lower abdomen as well as frustrating constipation and discomfort.

 

9. Joint Pain and Stiffness

 

One of the most important parts of the joint, its cartilage padding, is composed mostly of water, so when you are dehydrated, this cartilage is weakened. This makes it difficult to move and use your joins freely, and if you have a problem or injury, the joints will recover and repair much more slowly.

 

10. Weight Gain

Probably one of the least obvious results of dehydration, weight gain can occur easily when an individual is not properly hydrated. Cells are depleted of energy and seem to cry out for more nutrients. The problem is that most individuals interpret the cells' cry for help as a reason to eat a sandwich, when what they really need is a glass or two of water.

11. Premature Aging

Don't put off drinking water until you're too old for it to count! When you are chronically dehydrated, the body's organs, including the skin, begin to wrinkle and 'wither', just your hands do after being in the bath for too long. Once this process begins, it is difficult to stop, and it may leave you looking a lot older than you actually are!

In order to control some of these conditions and to remain properly hydrated, it is recommended to drink between 8-10 8oz (250ml) glasses of water every day. You should especially drink more water when you are exercising, experience a change in environment, or when you are sick. Keep in mind that each day we lose about 10 cups of water by just breathing and sweating, so try and keep the balance in your favor.

 

If you aren't drinking water each day, and instead prefer soda, just remember that water has 0 calories and loads of health benefits while a can of soda has 35 grams of sugar and 140 calories. It's quite silly to be getting your sugar from drinks when all you need to stay hydrated is a sugar-free glass of water!
