Infected diabetee = Gangrene

ya aloha,
sad to say. miss the training. no replacement yesterday. still off shore.
today only back to kth. chopper etd 1045.
my next hitch scheduled on 14.12.2011 - 3.1.2012
we'd spent more than 10K to save my father inlaw's leg.
all started 1 week before this hitch. he got something like 'bisul'
internally. the leg was swollen badly.
sent to hospital. antibiotik and medicine given.
aloha , just to share this with u and friends. diabetes have no mercy. just
see what it can do in one week. u see the bone. pls pray to allah that he
save my father's leg.
we're working with modern and traditional treatment.
history:
he had the diabetes since 15 yrs ago. but under control. last ramadhan he
took cabonated drinks almost every day during and after breakfast. loves so
much on glutennuose cakes and bubur.
i was not there. at that time i myself suffering from diabetes unknowingly
at south china sea oil rigs.
nobody could stop him. stubbornsome this fellow. (sorry ayah!) if i am
there, he will listen to me.
menantu kesayangan lah katakan.. (why not.. i gave him 6 grandchildrens...
lol)
started from there, the sugar level always shooting up and very slow coming
down.
i put him on zhahab until his sugar level dropped to 6.5mmol/l . that was
very good until he missed the supply and missed his insulin also. then the
breaking point to this current situation.
so aloha and friends : beware and always control what is going into your
stomach.
pls share.
ok
adios!!
yeahh..going home. good bye "terra non firma."
be back next week to another platform.

Another Symptoms of Diabetes – muscles cramps

There two types of muscles self movement (automatic).

• First is ‘twitch’ – twitch is a short but rapid movement by muscles
• Second is ‘cramp’ – muscles cramp happened when too much lactic acid presence in the muscles resulting the muscles jammed.

This happened to me a few times. At first I thought it is normal. Once a while having cramps on the calf during normal activities. Then it started to attack at night which was never happen before. It started to cramp and I could not bear the pains because all the calf muscles started to cramped alternately. Like a major twitching. I cannot even move. Even slight movement will start the major twitching. The whole calf muscles moving just like an aliens moving inside the flesh. It is moving from tendons joining the knee until downwards. Even the toe fingers having the same. I do not know what to do. The luck was that I have a set of cupping devices at home. So I performed the dry cupping method almost to all spots I can place the cups on. Then the same thing happened to another leg. I was so busy that night. Fighting the pain and with the help of my wife I managed to control the cramp/twitching. After one hour, the muscles back to normal. (The dry cupping will force the tissues to disengaged and loosing the sliding movement of the tissues) But that night I slept with my legs tied and pinned with bolsters to reduce movement.

How cramps happened

Blood should carry enough oxygen to every cells and tissues and organs. When too much glucose stuck to it, the absorption of oxygen from the lung is minimized significantly. Meant that not enough oxygen flowing to all the cells. Our body burned the glucose to produce energy. This oxygen is used during the aerobic (in presence of oxygen) metabolism. But when insufficient of oxygen, our body will go to anaerobic phase. This is where lactic acid is produced. When too much lactic acid accumulated inside the cells, it will stop the activities. This will caused the fatigue and this is jamming the muscles and this is what we know as cramp. Normally cramp could happen to lower part of body because it is further from the heart. Most oxygen is already taken during the circulation. Those further down cells, tissues and organ will become oxygen hungry states.

It is common to see athletes suffering calf cramped during practices or tournament. This happened because usage of oxygen is more than lung can supply. Oxygen hungry cells will go to anaerobic metabolism to produce more energy. Resulting accumulation of lactic acid.
