Leo Galland See book keywords and concepts | Recent evidence suggests that destruction of the pancreas by nitric oxide is an early event in the genesis of juvenile diabetes.18
Nitric oxide is a classic mediator: it is multifunctional; it participates in the formation of numerous different, unrelated "diseases"; it does nothing by itself, acting only in conjunction with other mediators that inhibit, mimic, or stimulate its effects; its baseline activity is modulated by diet. | James S. Gordon, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | While I was still working as an intern in San Francisco, Salvador Minuchin, the psychiatrist and pioneering family therapist who directed the Philadelphia Child Guidance Center, began a series of simple but elegant studies on children and adolescents with serious physical illnesses, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, anorexia nervosa, and juvenile diabetes. Minuchin's hypothesis was that these were emotional as well as physical conditions, and that family interactions could profoundly affect their course and outcome. | Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | As its name implies, juvenile diabetes strikes during childhood and is caused by the failure of the pancreas to produce enough insulin, the hormone that breaks down glucose or sugar so that it can be utilized by body cells. Type I diabetes is typically treated with supplemental insulin, as well as a carefully restricted, low-sugar diet. If you are born with type I diabetes or develop it early in life, you will require medical attention by a qualified physician, preferably one who specializes in diabetes.
Type II diabetes is an entirely different problem: It is a problem of insulin resistance. |

In the more common Type II (or adult-onset) diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, but not enough. There may be some symptoms—slow-healing cuts or bruises, recurring skin, gum or bladder infections or slight tingling or numbness in the hands or feet—but many guys don't really notice these subtle changes or simply shrug them off. | Gary Null See book keywords and concepts | This is a serious condition. In juvenile diabetes, because the urine washes away the glucose that would normally be used for energy and life, severe sugar starvation can result in death if insulin replacement does not intervene.69
Summary
If you have trouble digesting and utilizing carbohydrates, and your diet is good—high in complex carbohydrates and other nutritious foods, and very low in refined and junk foods—then it's possible that medical conditions are complicating the process of digestion. Antibiotics and gout medications can disrupt digestion. | H.J. Roberts, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | For example, 10 major research grants—most in amounts of $40,000 or more—were given to the juvenile diabetes Foundation, according to its 1988 report. A scenario could be conceived wherein a recipient of such largess might read, as an anonymous reviewer for a peer-reviewed journal, a manuscript submitted about aspartame-associated reactions with a trace of self-serving bias. | Richard Gerber, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | For example, certain individuals with juvenile diabetes were discovered to have evidence of both viral invasion of pancreatic tissue and also autoantibodies against pancreatic tissue. These same diabetic patients were found to have a common genetic background as defined by HLA typing, a measure of immunologic similarity between individuals. Circulating antibodies directed against the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas could be found in these diabetic children. | Velma J. Keith and Monteen Gordon See book keywords and concepts | | In the case of juvenile diabetes, a pancreas weakness may have been received at birth. However, in some cases parasites in the isle of pancreas, or viral disease injuring the pancreas may be the cause. At any rate, in diabetes, the pancreas is extremely damaged and in some cases not functioning at all. Diabetics, like all people with chronic problems, need to realize that it took time to get where they are and it is going to take time to get back. | Bradley J. Willcox, D. Craig Willcox, and Makoto Suzuki See book keywords and concepts | Finally, the protein in cow's milk has been fingered as a potential cause of juvenile diabetes and allergies in infants.11 This finding is controversial and still under investigation.
If you do eat dairy, go for the nonfat or low-fat varieties. They're available in most dairy products from milk to ice cream to yogurt. If you eat yogurt, incidentally, check the label to make sure it contains live acidophilus cultures, which keep intestinal flora healthy and aid digestion.12 The bottom line with dairy is: no more than two servings per day for adults. | James S. Gordon, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Minuchin concluded that sometimes juvenile diabetes, one of the most clearly delineated of biomedical disease states, is in fact a family illness as well as an individual one; its proper treatment requires not only dietary management and injectible insulin but family therapy.
And it's not just children whose illnesses are entwined with family functioning. At about the same time Minuchin was doing his work, a Ph.D. candidate named Fred Hoebel was taking a look at a group of men with coronary artery disease. | Martin L. Cross See book keywords and concepts | The doctor explained that Type II diabetes, which usually starts after fifty, is quite different from juvenile diabetes, a malfunction of the pancreas in which the organ does not secrete enough insulin. Adult-onset diabetes strikes adults who are generally overweight, sedentary, older, and who have a history of the disease in the family. It affects people across the spectrum, but for some reason it affects Jews and Native Americans excessively, and sometimes blacks as well. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | Types of Diabetes
There are two major forms of diabetes, insulin-dependent juvenile diabetes (Type I) and non-insulin-dependent adult-onset diabetes (Type II).
In Type I diabetes, the body is unable to produce enough insulin. As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream and spills over into the urine,
- while the body literally "starves" because the cells cannot get the nourishment, which is provided by glucose, to produce energy for the cells' normal functions. Symptoms of Type I diabetes include excessive thirst, hunger, urination, and dehydration, often accompanied by weight loss. | | C, of San Francisco, California, he had been diagnosed with acute juvenile diabetes. His blood sugar level had been 700 (compared to a normal range of 70-120) and already he had been hospitalized a few times.
His health history revealed the causes of his diabetes. When Billy's mother gave birth to him, she had a yeast infection (candidiasis), which meant Billy was born with a fungal infection. When he drank his mother's breast milk, the candidiasis became seated in his intestines and blood. | Mark Bricklin See book keywords and concepts | Diabetes
There are two basic kinds of diabetes: juvenile diabetes, which occurs during youth, and adult-onset diabetes. The latter is far more common, and unless otherwise specified, that is the kind of diabetes we are discussing here.
The most important single factor in the diabetic's diet is weight control. Excessive weight makes the body less sensitive to insulin, the hormone needed to control the level of glucose in the blood. But when weight goes down, the sensitivity to glucose and insulin often returns. And the blood sugar level goes back to normal. | Alan Keith Tillotson, Ph.D., A.H.G., D.Ay. See book keywords and concepts | Type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or IDDM) is also called "juvenile diabetes," as it appears most often in children under the age of 15. This autoimmune disease affects about 10% of the diabetic population.
The more prevalent Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or NIDDM), is also called "adult-onset diabetes," as it appears most frequently in adults over the age of 20. The age-related terms are becoming outdated, however, because NIDDM is now showing up in increasing numbers in children, and IDDM is appearing more frequently in adults. | Mark Bricklin See book keywords and concepts | The high-fiber diet is also good for children with juvenile diabetes, say English researchers at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. Children receiving 60 grams of fiber a day were shown to have more stable blood sugar than children who received 20 grams of fiber a day (Archives of Disease in Childhood, March, 1982).
Recent trials have demonstrated that lentils and other legumes are particularly effective in a diabetic diet because of their slow release of carbohydrates (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, June, 1982). | Earl Mindell See book keywords and concepts | International juvenile diabetes Foundation

•Diet...Since diabetes and heart disease are so closely related, many complementary physicians recommend that diabetics follow the same type of low-fat diet used by heart patients. This diet consists of organic vegetarian foods, with lots of high-fiber vegetables eaten raw, sprouted, steamed, baked, or stir fried with little or no oil. | James S. Gordon, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Teenagers with juvenile diabetes, who are furious at their illness and those who remind them of it, may turn their insulin and diet regimen into an occasion of all-out war against worried and exasperated parents and professionals: "Oh yeah," I have heard one guilelessly remark, just before he lapsed into coma on the hospital gurney, "I probably shouldn't have had four Twinkies and a six-pack of beer. |
