Is there a cure for type 1 diabetes? Even a temporary one? I am depressed. Is it really that bad?

Question 1
Is there a cure for type 1 diabetes? Even a temporary one? I am depressed. Is it really that bad?...  I am 15 and I just found out that I might have type 1 diabetes, and after thinking about it, I'm about 87% sure that I have it. I've basically just convinced myself i have it now, because I know it would take a miracle for me to not. I just feel so depressed and hopeless. I want to kill myself. I can't wait to know, and I feel like I'm waiting for an HIV test or death sentence.

There are already so many things wrong with me. I have other conditions too and my mom has rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, rls, and loads of other stuff and I just know I'll end up with it all. Things always seem to work negatively on my behalf.

The only hope for me is that there is a cure. Is there? Can I just get some stem cells implanted into me or get a pancreas transplant or get my brain rewired? Nanotechnology? I'm willing to possibly become a semi-android if it means curing this horrible disease that I have. If not, I just want to die. I don't want to live anymore. I don't think I was meant to live in this world, and that there is something horribly wrong with me. I can never just have a regular life.

But if there's not one now, I don't think there will ever be a cure. the government makes millions of dollars each year on cancer, hiv, treatment for autoimmune diseases, etc.. These big companies would make no money if a cure was let out. There are even conspiracy theories that there are cures, but they won't allow them out to the public. It makes perfect sense.

But I just feel so hopeless and depressed. I am getting tested but I am extremely sure I have it, it's almost inevitable. I've been thinking about it, and I told myself that if I ever get rich (which I plan to do) I will do what I can to help find a cure for and help everyone with this horrible disease. Is there a cure and do you think there will ever be? What is it like to have this disease? Is it really that bad?

1)   about it you can get information from here http://mdcan19.notlong.com/0AAYmts - Modesty Izzard

2)   There is no cure. You'll need to learn how to manage your blood sugar levels to live a happy and healthy life. If diabetes is left to get out of control it can destroy organs or your sight and even lead to coma and death. - Bibigirl

3)   There is no cure yet, but research on stem cells has produced a temporary cure so far, up to three years. In Type 1 diabetes, you lose all your Beta cells that produce insulin. Stem cells can be introduced into your body to regrow Beta cells. These cells than produce insulin again. So far, the longest "cure" has been three years. The problem is the underlying condition that cause the loss of the Beta cells continues, so the new Beta cells are lost again. - NAP BQ

4)   There is no cure at this time but that doesn't mean something won't be discovered in your lifetime.

You can live a long time if you manage the disease. Since you don't know yet that you have the disease I'd suggest not worrying about it. For all you know you have the Type 2 kind since that's more prevelant than the Type 1. - Melius

5)   Please do not rush to judgment. Saying that you 'might' have it does not mean that you do have it. Await the definitive tests rather than causing yourself so much stress. If you prove to have type 1 diabetes the treatment is insulin and no there is no 'cure'. Diabetes - whether type 1 or type 2 - is not fun. It is a lot of hard work. But you are not alone as there are many young people in exactly your position. The degree to which you express feelings of hopelessness, depression, wanting to die and so on is dis-proportionate to the possible diagnosis. I would suggest that you ask your parents to take you to the physician. If you have anxiety, depression, or other related disorders there are many available treatments. If these problems are addressed you might find that you are better able to cope with diabetes should it turn out that you do in fact have type 1 diabetes. - john e russo md facm faafp

Question 3
Okay, I'm having a bit of a crisis with my acne. Can you help?!?...  I have had acne for like 2 years now and I'm pretty tired of it. I'm like the only one in my grade (10th) that has it and it's embarrassing. (I'm a 15 year old girl btw). I have been to the dermatologist and she gave me some pills-Minocycline or something like that, and some cream-Benzoclyine (not sure how to spell that either) I do wash my face every morning and every night with the green Neutrogena beaded cleanser stuff. It doesn't seem to get rid of my acne. So, I was wondering if I should try out a new face wash like Clean & Clear or something. Don't suggest those acne kits because I've tried Proactive, did nothing, and the Neutrogena one, which did nothing also. Is there anything I can do to help get rid of my acne like are there any certain foods I should eat? Drink? Will I ever grow out of it? Oh yeah one more thing, on my forehead I have acne scars and I was wondering if there was any cream out there I could just buy at like Target or Walmart to help get rid of them (that isn't expensive) Thank you so much for you help! (:

Answers
1)   i had the same problem. i went to the derm. and got dozens of different perscriptions and none of them worked. but i got referred to get surgury done. basically they will burn layers of skin off your face, and close and shring your pores. it sounds painful, but it's not that bad. honestly it worked. within 2 months my face was clear. if you dont have the money or the resources the best thing to do is was your face and stick to perscriptions until you outgrow it.

oh, there is accutane. but it's highly risky and very dangerous. i dont recommend that. - Jack M

Question 4
7 facts about malaria?...  Go on....

Answers
1)   ws47is7uis6uausa46u7ase46u - Ekramul

2)   1. Courtines with hot, humid climates like Africa are the most affected.
2. The most severe form, plasmoudium falciparum, is on the increase in British travellers.
3. An average of nine Brits die from malaria every year after contracting it abroad.
4. Worldwide, it is one of the leader causes of death, claiming up to 2.7 million lives a year.
5. The infection is preventable, but can be fatal if left untreated.
6.One bite from an infected mosquito is all it takes to contact malaria, A parasite then travels throught the liver into the bloodstream, depleting the body of oxygen and causing a fever.
7. Infected red blood cells can then clog up vital organs, such as the brain. - Xlilnatx

3)   I'll give you 10...


Fact 1

Malaria is a disease which can be transmitted to people of all ages. It is caused by parasites of the species plasmodium that are spread from person to person through the bites of infected mosquitoes. If not treated promptly with effective medicines, malaria can often be fatal.


Fact 2

About 3.3 billion people - half of the world's population - are at risk of malaria. Every year, this leads to about 250 million malaria cases and nearly one million deaths. People living in the poorest countries are the most vulnerable.


Fact 3

One in five (20%) of all childhood deaths in Africa are due to malaria. It is estimated that an African child has on average between 1.6 and 5.4 episodes of malaria fever each year. Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria in Africa.


Fact 4

Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are two basic elements of malaria control. Early and effective treatment of malaria can shorten the duration of the infection and prevent further complications including the great majority of deaths. Access to disease management should be seen not only as a component of malaria control but a fundamental right of all populations at risk.


Fact 5

Inappropriate use of antimalarial drugs in the past century contributed to widespread resistance in the malaria parasite to drugs such as chloroquine, leading to rising rates of sickness and death. Over the past decade, a new group of antimalarials – known as artemisinin-based combination therapies – has brought new hope in the fight against malaria.


Fact 6

The main objective of malaria vector control is to significantly reduce the rate and number of cases of both parasite infection and clinical malaria. This is achieved by controlling the malaria-bearing mosquito and thereby reducing or interrupting transmission.


Fact 7

Long-lasting insecticidal nets can be used to provide protection to risk groups, especially young children and pregnant women in high transmission areas. This provides personal protection. The nets can also protect communities when coverage is high enough (more than 80% of people in a target community sleeping inside them). The nets are effective for a number of years (3 to 5 years, depending on models and conditions of use).


Fact 8

Indoor residual spraying is the most effective means of rapidly reducing mosquito density. Its full potential is obtained when at least 80 % of premises with malaria vectors are sprayed. Indoor spraying is effective for 3 to 6 months, depending on the insecticide used and the type of surface on which it is sprayed. (DDT is effective for longer periods, up to 12 months in some cases).


Fact 9

Pregnant women are at high risk not only of dying from the complications of severe malaria, but also spontaneous abortion, premature delivery or stillbirth. Malaria is also a cause of severe maternal anemia and is responsible for about one third of preventable low birth weight babies. It contributes to the deaths of an estimated 10 000 pregnant women and up to
200 000 infants each year in Africa alone.


Fact 10

Malaria causes an average loss of 1.3% of annual economic growth in countries with intense transmission. It traps families and communities in a downward spiral of poverty, disproportionately affecting marginalized and poor people who cannot afford treatment or who have limited access to health care. Malaria has lifelong effects through increased poverty and impaired learning. It cuts attendance at schools and workplaces. However, it is preventable and curable. - FLAWDA::BABii
