2Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at
Mount Sinai and the Karolinska Institutet have
found that gestational diabetes raises the risk
of postpartum depression (PPD) in first-time
mothers. This is the largest study of its kind to
date, including more than 700,000 women. The
results were published online on 1/18/17 in the
journal Depression and Anxiety. The researchers
also established that women with a history of
depression are more than 20 times more likely to
experience PPD than mothers without a previous
clinical diagnosis of depression. And while
gestational diabetes alone increased risk for
PPD, a history of maternal depression in
conjunction with gestational diabetes further
increased the likelihood of PPD.
3If you are a diabetic it goes without saying that
you need to be very careful about not just what
you eat, but also what you drink! Pick the wrong
type of drink, and your sugar levels will spike
in no time!!! Beverages will sneak in those extra
sugars and carbs that you need to monitor when on
a diabetic diet. Fret not, for help is at hand!
Today, we will share with you a list of beverages
for a diabetic that you can guzzle down with
confidence and some that you rather pour down the
sink!!
Before we get started, here are some basics you
must know. The human body is made up of close to
two-thirds water, so it is important that you
drink enough water to stay healthy and
hydrated. Do tea, coffee, milk, juices and
smoothies count? Yes, they do. In fact, we also
get fluids from the food we consume, especially
from veggies and fruits.
4Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the
destruction of pancreatic ß cells. Replacing ß
cell mass by pancreatic islet transplantation has
been shown to be curative in principle but is
limited by the availability of donor cells,
immunological complications, and transplant
survival. More ideal approach would be generating
new insulin-producing cells from other cell types
in the body of a person with type 1 diabetes.
