Question by : What affect could dislocating a shoulder have on a person with type 1 diabetes?
My friend and I are trying to role play a scene and her character (a detective with diabetes) just dislocated his shoulder. My character is a doctor and I wanted my response to be as medically accurate as possible. Could someone who knows more about diabetes tell me how a trauma like this might affect a person with type 1 diabetes?

Best answer:

Answer by syl c.
Any trauma to the body will affect a diabetic since infection/injury will play a role in altering your numbers. The trauma plus if you have to take antibiotics if your shoulder gets infected or if you have to take painkillers will also affect your diabetes until this injury is fixed.

Question by Momiji: What activity could I do to entertain and inform my listeners about diabetes?
I am doing a presentation on diabetes and I need to keep my audience entertained and informed.
What activity could I do to make a presentation about diabetes fun. I already have all the information that I need but it just seems boring especially for a bunch of 17-19 year olds. Can anyone help me? My presentation revolves around teen and adult diabetes if that helps.

Best answer:

Answer by Lindsey
Well..
I have type one diabetes and anyone who knows anyone about the disease (as I’m sure you do) knows it’s not something ‘fun’.
But of course, you don’t want to bore your audience to death.

I cannot really think of any way to make if fun, but don’t just throw facts at the audience. Use examples, tell stories, ect. I know what I’m much more interested in a more personal presentation than someone naming stupid statistics.

Wish I could be more help.
Feel free to message me if you need any info.

Best answer:

Answer by tiger_nutter
Well you’re more likely to get diabetes if you’re overweight and don’t eat healthily so if you went on a diabetic diet then you would be eating healthily and therefore lower the risk.

Question by Steph: What are the chances our baby girl could get diabetes?
My boyfriend got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 3 days before our daughter was born, 3 months later I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am really worried for our 8 month old baby girl. We are going to watch her carb intake as she gets older but wanted to know what the chances were for her getting it are.

Best answer:

Answer by T money
Most type 1 diabetics are in their later teens. My brother was seventeen. There has to be an auto immune process for type 1. Babies are still far to young for that stuff so it’s rare for kids. . . after ten maybe be looking for signs. Is it something your uncles or aunts or grandparents have also? Your boyfriends side especially. It’s genetically influenced along with environmental factors. The stress of you having the baby may or may not have added your boyfriends immune response. My brother was having a lot of physical stress when he was diagnosed during high school sports. He was also getting over a virus/cold. Our parents both have immediate relatives that are type 1 so it was in the genetic cards for him. He does great though. By the time your new baby is his age we’ll probably have a cure :)
