year ago, reach work and too many things to do, short few hours to long from half to one day, if in a week its about4 days, started from the back of head and pain moving towards foreword, yes it spreads, dun think ithere is trigger factor as its starts its own, mostly where i go to room and sleep or rest, no other problems occur during the headacheOriginally posted by renorenal:Prior to assuming it is migraine... care to tell me more about your headache?
When it started?
How it started?
How long does the pain last?
How frequent do you get the pain?
Where is the headache?
Can you describe the pain?
Does it spreads to other places?
Any trigger factors like ice cream or cheese?
Any relieving factors like going to a dark place and quiet environment?
Any associated problems when the headache comes?
Are you also coughing?
Any toothache?
Any earache?
Do you have sinusitis?
Are you having recurrent throat infection?
Describe the nature of your stress... -

certain things chinese doctors are more capable of solving it...certain things, must go to western doctors...

erm... i thought type 2 is not genetic.... they usually occur in adults who are obese because they constantly take in glucose, and hence, they insulin levels are practically high the whole day. and where this persists, their cells are no longer receptive to insulin (since they are over exposed to it already).Originally posted by renorenal:Type 2 is genetic
Type 1 is usually not genetic... it is associated more with other autoimmune diseases like DM, thyroid disorders, hormonal disorders and other kidney problems...
Hmmm... so you have been having this problem for 6 years now?
Any questions you would want me to help you with?
Type 1 is the genetic one, since it is your body's inability to synthesize the correct functional insulin molecules.....
anyway, back to topic about chinese senseis.... i think i go to them only for sprains and stuff, for them to tui the sprain. helps to circulate the blood and maybe remove internal blood clots... it helps in faster healing process... if u go to the western doctors, they just put a cast, or bandage it such that you dun perform uncomfortable twists to the injured ankle to prevent further aggrevation.... but the healing process takes longer... -
What you explain is purely theory based...Originally posted by starblue:erm... i thought type 2 is not genetic.... they usually occur in adults who are obese because they constantly take in glucose, and hence, they insulin levels are practically high the whole day. and where this persists, their cells are no longer receptive to insulin (since they are over exposed to it already).

I once believed in what you explained, but after entering clinical school and practicing medicine, this is never true...
In clinical practice, this is not true... If you were to focus on clinical practice, you would see many Type 2 diabetics have a strong family history of DM, whereas those of Type 1 has none or only a few...
Type 1 is not purely genetic, because it occurs in a clump of other autoimmune disorders... They occur with other disorders as well like what I have mentioned previously. Hence some may get the other conditions and escape from DM... -
lolz.. erm... you see Type 2 with strong family history prob cos of correlational factors like diet and lifestyle la... cos eating habits are inculcated from young mah... if the parent is obese, he may pass his eating and lifestyle habits to his son mah... lolz...Originally posted by renorenal:What you explain is purely theory based...

Type 2: Hereditary in Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
Other Risk Factors : Obesity, Environment, Age, Ethnicity
Type 1: Environmental (Viral Infection Hypothesis), Autoimmune (most VITAL & COMMON contributing factor), Genetic (not as strong as Type 2) -
That may be true... but again... these are more of ethnicity contributing factors to diabetes...Originally posted by starblue:lolz.. erm... you see Type 2 with strong family history prob cos of correlational factors like diet and lifestyle la... cos eating habits are inculcated from young mah... if the parent is obese, he may pass his eating and lifestyle habits to his son mah... lolz... -
Genes and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) comprises a group of entities with different genetic causes. In most patients, T2DM results from alterations of various genes, each having a partial and additive effect. The inheritance pattern is thus complex, and environmental factors play an important role in favoring or delaying the expression of the disease. The identification of susceptibility genes and genetic variants requires different methodological approaches. Here we address some of the most important strategies and findings on the genomic basis of T2DM, as well as evidence of genetic heterogeneity among populations. The identification of the underlying genetic causes of T2DM and other related traits such as obesity and hypertension will lead to the development of new therapeutic targets likely to impact the way we treat these diseases. Survival and quality of life for T2DM patients is expected to eventually increase, significantly lessening the socioeconomic burden of the disease.
In this research, it was found that from young, the genes for insulin resistance are already present, it only depends on environmental factors to aggravate it or to delay it. -
now no diff mah chinese docters need to register also i like chinese because bah mai better than stethoscope but chinese medicine not nice

hmmm... icic... my lecturer left that out... she only told us about the obese thing... dreads... now i'm wondering if all my lectures are for nothing. lolz...Originally posted by renorenal:Genes and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

sinseh's MC bo par kayOriginally posted by seow:Anyone knows?
Some people insist on seeing those "certified" ang mo pai doctor in clinics while others swear by those "chinese sinsehs".
Whats your opinion?
