Help for Diabetes, Gout and More
Overview of Gout Gout is a systemic disease caused by the
buildup of uric acid in the joints, causing inflammation,
swelling, and pain. This condition can develop for two reasons.
The liver may produce more uric acid than the body can excrete
in the urine, or a diet of rich foods (e.g., red meat, cream
sauces, red wine) puts more uric acid into the bloodstream than
the kidneys can filter. In both cases, a condition called
hyperuricemia results. Over time, the uric acid crystallizes and
settles in the joint spaces, most commonly in the first
metatarsal phalangeal joint of the big toe or in the ankle
joint. Signs and Symptoms The most common symptoms of gout are
inflammation, swelling, and tenderness in the joint of the first
toe. Touching or moving it is intensely painful and patients
often say it hurts to have as much as a bedsheet over the toe.
Gout develops quickly and typically occurs in only one joint at
a time. Symptoms may develop in two or three joints
simultaneously, but this is rare. If widespread symptoms occur,
the condition is probably not gout. Diagnosis The most reliable
way to diagnose gout is to examine the joint fluid for uric acid
crystals. This is done by drawing fluid from the joint with a
needle and examining it under a polarized light microscope.
Although the test is invasive, the results are definitive, and a
positive result facilitates proper treatment and quick relief.
Treatment Treatment for gout involves decreasing the amount of
uric acid in the joint. If dietary habits are the cause, the
patient's lifestyle must be changed to avoid the condition. Gout
is readily corrected with patient cooperation, and it is usually
not treated unless it occurs frequently. Colchicine is a common
medication for treating acute gout attacks. If continuous
medication is necessary, the two most common choices are
probenecid and allopurinol. Prevention Alcohol and rich foods
are primary contributors to excessive uric acid levels. Although
some patients have a genetic predisposition to excessive uric
acid production, most gout patients have normal kidneys and
uncontrolled dietary habits. Prevention is the best defense
against the disease. Many patients who suffer from gout continue
to indulge, and suffer frequent attacks as a result. Although
medication makes it possible to live with gout, the continued
accumulation of uric acid in the joints eventually damages them,
seriously inhibiting movement.

dietary goals while eating out also can be very challenging '
see comments below. 20 million Americans and Canadians have
diabetes. Nearly 7 million don't know it. Type 2 diabetes
usually develops slowly, and the symptoms often go unnoticed.
Our son developed a puffiness to his face which we noticed right
away because we saw him only a couple of times a year. He and
his wife put it down to simple weight gain. After 2' years they
finally snapped to there being something wrong and when he was
finally checked out his diabetes was 'off the charts'.
Fortunately, they caught it in time, but it should have been
caught over a year earlier. Nearly 90 to 95% of all people with
diabetes have type 2. Who gets it? Just about any body. Fat,
skinny, regular build, it makes no difference; just about
everyone can develop diabetes. Most at risk are people
regardless of body build who live on a high intake of 'junk
food'. Least at risk are people who eat a regular balanced diet.
What you may not know about diabetes ' the truth about insulin
resistance. 92% of people with type 2 diabetes have insulin
resistance. Get the facts ' go to your local diabetes agency or
research it on the internet.
Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes. Obesity is not a
guarantee you will develop diabetes and many obese persons never
develop it, but persons who are obese

A key to diabetes management is maintaining a regular exercise
program. Its never too late to start and you can do it with a
simple walking program. Just walk 1 kilometer a day and over a
period of a month build it up to two miles (3 kilometers) a day.
Sticking to dietary goals while eating out can be very
challenging. Many, even most, restaurants cater to people with
special dietary needs ' just ask. And learn those restaurants
which do not and avoid them.

J.D. Windblad. I have long-term gout (since 1977), damage from
gout including numbness and pain in the feet, a prostate which
had ceased functioning for the past 2 years, and in Jan 2004 I
was diagnosed with a lazy thyroid. By the end of January my
thyroid was functioning normally, by April I was noticing an

coming back into my feet. This is written in June 2004 and its
all still getting better.
