  DIABETES RELATED DEFINITIONS
  AND EXPLANATIONS
  =========================

  ACARBOSE
  An oral medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. It blocks the
  enzymes that digest starches in food. The result is a slower
  and lower rise in blood glucose throughout the day, especially
  right after meals. Belongs to the class of medicines called
  alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. (Brand name: Precose.)

  BIGUANIDE
  A class of oral medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes
  that lowers blood glucose by reducing the amount of
  glucose produced by the liver and by helping the body
  respond better to insulin. (Generic name: metformin.)

  BUNION
  A bulge on the first joint of the big toe, caused
  by the swelling of a fluid sac under the skin.
  This spot can become red, sore, and infected.

  VITRECTOMY
  Surgery to restore sight in which the surgeon
  removes the cloudy vitreous humor in the eye
  and replaces it with a salt solution.

  DIABETES Q AND A:
  =========================

  QUESTION:

  If someone switches to only unprocessed and low-sodium
  foods, is there a risk they won't get enough sodium?

  ANSWER:

  You'll almost surely get plenty of sodium in your diet even if
  you eat only unprocessed and low-sodium foods. The most recent
  national recommendations call for keeping sodium to no more
  than 1500-2300 milligrams (mg) daily (depending on age and
  other factors). Those are the amounts we should not exceed.

  Some low-sodium foods contain up to 140 mg of sodium per
  serving, and even if you eat only special low-sodium bread,
  cereal, vegetables, soups and condiments and salt-free fats,
  you'll still total at least 250 to 500 mg of sodium per day.
  That's more than we really need, as people can survive with
  even less than 200 mg daily.

  The major exception to this would be people who sweat
  excessively from extremely hard labor in heat, such as
  might be experienced by foundry workers or elite athletes.
  Some medical conditions can also cause large sodium losses,
  but these are quite unusual. For most of us, lack of enough
  sodium is just not an issue.
