All in all, I suppose it is safe to say that there is a broad range of variance in what some people consider to be a healthy food, I suppose it is really just amatter of degree, however. For example, while some would argue that homemade cookies and gourmet cokkies are better than the store bought varieties of cookies, it is clear that even homemade cookkies with organic ingredients are not as good for your health as, say Himalayan goji juice or acai juice, for example. It is clear that acai or goji juice is a superood whereas the cookies are simply a slight upgrade in a sense.

The debates about nutrition being used to battle diseases like type 2 diabetes is that with each study that is released there is different information leaving America’s parents unsure of what they should do to help their children. These debates even include whether soy products are safe in place of homogenized milk or margarine.

Another thing that has been under debate and is confusing for parents of obese children is the labels on products, this while helpful is still not clear enough for the average consumer according to experts.

1) Recognized onset during growth between ages 0-14 years (Infantile or Childhood Diabetics). These patients usually present with severe initial symptoms of diabetes and rapidly become insulin-dependent.

2) Recognized onset between 15 and 24 years (Young Diabetics). These patients usually have an acute onset of symptoms of diabetes and most may be expected to become insulin-dependent.

3) Recognized onset between 25 and 64 years (Adult Diabetics). Growth onset, insulin-dependent diabetes may occur up to the age 22 or 23 years, but between 20 and 35 years, such cases merge into the adult-onset cases that are much less insulin-dependent. These patients begin with variable symptoms of diabetes and may or may not need insulin.

4) Recognized onset over 65 years of age (Elderly diabetics). These patients frequently present with symptoms of the complications of diabetes and can often be controlled without insulin.

It should be noted that all classifications refer to the age when the diabetes was recognized, not the current age of the patient.

Other types you must know

1) Asymptomatic or Unrecognized diabetes also known as pre-diabetes. It is termed asymptomatic or unrecognized diabetes because it doesn’t show or produce indications of a disease or other medical condition. Lots of people in the universe today are suffering from pre-diabetes and feel healthy because medical tests have not proven them diabetic. The symptoms of diabetes which are associated with pre-diabetes are the ones that are noticeable in case of type 2 diabetes.

Such symptoms as frequent urination and excessive thirst are the most common symptoms of type 2. Other symptoms of type 2 diabetes which may appear during pre diabetes are excessive appetite, unexplained weight loss or weight gain, weakness and fatigue.

Blurred vision can show up as a symptom of type 2 diabetes in some people. Wounds take a longer time to heal and there is low sensitivity in the limbs. Skin and gum infections are also common. Other symptoms of type 2 diabetes that show up are vaginal or bladder infections.

2) Juvenile: This term refers to cases of any age group who require insulin and who are prone to attacks of ketosis.

3) Brittle: It was recommended that this term be used as little as possible. It refers to juvenile cases that prove difficult to stabilize. Genuine brittle diabetics are very uncommon and the brittle state does not necessarily persist.

4) Insulin-resistant: This term should be reserved for patients requiring over 200 units insulin daily.
