Question by crime_scene223: Is diabetes a contributing factor if someone is having a hard time swallowing?
I know someone that occasionally has problems swallowing when he is eating. It makes him feel like he is about to choke, as the food doesn’t go down. He is a diabetic. Is diabetes a contributing factor if someone is having a hard time swallowing?

Best answer:

Answer by J B
No. Having scar tissue or a stricture in the esophagus would be the cause of this. He could schedule an endoscopy to have this checked out and if there is a narrowed area, they can stretch it back out and he won’t have probably again for a while (this has a tendency to come back).

You really need to talk to a genealogist for a proper answer to this question as depending on who in your family/his family has it and the type of diabetes/age of onset may have a bearing on it talk to your doctor/obstetric and see if he advises further investigation into this matter

Question by Barlow: What are the chances of our baby having diabetes?
Right now I’m sort of seeing the man I hope to marry and the other day we brought up the subject of babies. We discussing that there may be a high risk if we had children that one of our babies would have diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family and I believe it runs in his. He is a diabetic and I’m not. We figure we are in a very high risk category, but since at this time we’re not married or planning to have kids yet we haven’t asked a doctor. We would both like your opinions and answers.

Question by kitty: Is having diabetes and insulin dependent considered a disability legally?
I have a friend who was told her can’t get his driving permit or license untill he goes 2 or 2 whole years w/o a seizure from his diabetes. He is almost 18 now. He is insulin dependant. He has to take it after EVERYTHING he eats. I understand people will say “diabetes is a disease not a disability” but I beg to differ. A disease such as diabetes can also be a disability in alot of cases! I just need some other opinions on this.

Best answer:

Answer by John B
Disability?? Only if you are stupid enough not to control it. Thank God someone is willing to protect others from someone driving with seizures.

What are you after the words Social Security Disability?

It can be a pain in the rear but controlled with education it is certainly not a disability in 99.99% of the cases.
