What is wrong with my feet?
Im a 15 year old diabetic, and for as long as I can remember I have had issues with my feet. This had varied from Achilles tendons to ingrown toenails, and now I am suffering more so than ever. Just for the record, I have always tried my hardest to keep my feet well looked after, ive used pumice rocks, creams, moisturisers, insoles dried them when they got wet etc, but im really beginning to give up on them. There just another complication amongst other things in my life and there really getting me down. My most recent problems are with the side of my big toes and the balls ( on both feet). I also have burning pains down the side of my feet and into my heels. On my toes, the skin is very thin and falls/peels off itself in layers which often results in discomfort and bleeding. I do play alot of sport, mainly tennis. But I have always worn suitable footwear, for example K-Swiss, and my school shoes are cushioned and made properly as apose to those plimsolls things that everyone else wears.I have spoken to my diabetic nurse about this, and she has written to the board of 'feet care' ( cant remember the official name). But she has said that im looking at 18months before i even get a consultation. I think by that time if I do not get any help im going to chop them both off!!! All im asking for is if anyone knows what's going on, and also where / how i can get them sorted one and for all!!! I have been sent for xrays a few years ago, and all that they showed was that the joints in my toes, were not where they should be, and in some cases, they are missing completely! I have since been discharged from the practise and now have to start the case from scratch. Please help :(

I need weight loss advice
I need weight loss advice?
I'm a 19 year old female. I'm about 5'7 and I weigh about 228 lbs. I don't look like I weigh 228 (meaning i don't have much flab or jelly). and people I know are usually shocked at my weight because i don't look like it, even the nurse double checked. I have always had trouble with my weight since I could remember. I am very picky about what I eat. I eat breakfast in the morning which consist of a sandwich with oven roaster turkey and swiss cheese no butter or anything added, and some tea to drink. I usually don't eat lunch but if i do it would be chicken soup. For dinner I have smaller proportions. I don't eat out and i don't eat fried foods and I treat myself to a chocolate treat once in a while. I am constantly working around my house cooking and cleaning and I run errands all the time. Thyroids is a problem in my family but i've had them checked. I also have a family history of Diabetes, obesity, High blood Pressure, and heart disease. but I have clear from all that--for now which is why I feel the need to lose this weight that wont come off. I really want to lose some weight and I would like some advice as to what I can do to lose weight. I hate feeling the way i do, i have a bruised self esteem. and I would love help to get that boosted. Thank you I also get pretty stressed. I am a freshman in college, I'm trying to find a job while keeping up grades in school and doing house work. I have a 17 year old sister who doesn't do anything in the house so I fight with her. I am constantly being called on to drive people every where. Maybe stress could be a part of me not losing the weight

Avoid processed food, and fast food places. Have bowls of vegetables and fruit around the house so you'll have a healthy snack within your reach. A healthy diet includes carbs, so don't skip them. Instead, substitute white for whole wheat. As for exersise, try to get at least 10 minutes a day. Take a walk, ride your bike, take the stairs, or dance to some music. You don't have to do a 10 mile jog. Remember not to get obsessed with what society veiws as 'beauty', because being underweight is unhealthy and not beautiful. Healthy is beautiful, so stay healthy!

For every 3500 calories that you burn more than you consume you will lose about a pound. To break it down by days: If you consume 500 less calories than you burn per day, you will safely lose about a pound per week. Some foods like pickles, cucumbers, celery, and some others actually act like negative calories. It takes as much or more calories to digest the food than the food has. Fruits and vegetables make great snacks. Fill up on them and eat less at your big meals. You should never go hungry while dieting. You can use the calculators below to figure out how much weight you will lose and to make adjustments to your carorie intake and burning to make your goal.

how can i make a cut heal faster, plus more questions
how can i make a cut heal faster, plus more questions?
hey so last night i cut myself with a swiss army knife(i know i'm a retard). it was bleeding alot so i cleaned it by putting listerine on cuz it was the alchohol i had. i put alot of pressure on the cut and rapped it in gauze. the next day when i took off the gauze it was still bleeding so i cleaned it out with listerine and rewrapped it. when i went to school and saw the nurse the bleeding stopped so she put bacitracin and another bandaid and i was fine. later, being a retard again, i strated playing basketball and some kid tore the bandaid off and it started bleeding again. i went straight to the nurse, and she made me clean it with soap and water and she put some more bacitracin on and then she put another bandaid on. i took it off a few minutes ago wen i went into the shower and it wasn;t bleeding and it didn;t start bleeding again. do u think i have an infection? the cut was really deep by the way. is wrapping the bandaid tight around it bad? what can i do to make it heal faster, and what can i do to prevent and infection from happening?

Cleanse well with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide (It may bring out a mere 'yikes' out of you...then put on a cream antibacterial ointment/something to keep loose dirt from getting deep into the wound which may cause infection. Thanks!

In general, animal products have all the essential amino acids, whereas plant products (including nuts) don't. The combination of beans + rice does. Fat-soluble vitamins are not excreted easily. As a result your body tends to store up a lot and it can take a while before a dietary deficiency manifests. Yes, night blindness is caused by vitamin A deficiency. Most people get their thiamine from grains. A, D, E, K, and retinol are all fat-soluble. The B vitamins are all water soluble (as is vitamin C). B12 injections are used to treat pernicious anemia.
