Is glycogen storage disorder type 2 a curable disease?

---

SINCE I HAVE A CHILD 16 MONTHS OLD AND HE WAS DIAGONISED AT THE AGE OF SIX MONTHS GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISORDER TYPE 2 AFTER DOING BONE MARROW TEST AND LIVER BIOPSY.
You have to ask the paeditrician who specialises in endocrinology for an answer. Probably it can be managed but he has to take insulin or other medication for the rest of his life. Try Spirulina, it is a very healthy food when he is older, which may heal his diabetic-related condition.  (+ info)

My daughter was diagnosed with Glycogen Storage Disease type 1b.?

---

She was10 month old. She is 2 now and doing fine. Anyone out there with similar experience? How are these children doing now? Can you share some tips? It would be really helpful. Thank you!
A glycogen storage disease (GSD) is the result of an enzyme defect. These enzymes normally catalyze reactions that ultimately convert glycogen compounds to glucose. Enzyme deficiency results in glycogen accumulation in tissues. In many cases, the defect has systemic consequences, but, in some cases, the defect is limited to specific tissues. Most patients experience muscle symptoms, such as weakness and cramps, although certain GSDs manifest as specific syndromes, such as hypoglycemic seizures or atomically.

I don't know much about it but when it comes to muscle enzymes, particular attention has to be paid to the kidneys.

is diabetes considered a glycogen storage disease?

---

i am a type 1 diabetic and filling out college scholarship information and when i got to the "disabilities" section diabetes is not an option but glycogen storage disease is so im wondering if diabetes is included in that? or should i just mark off medical disability?
i know what diabetes is. i just am confused as to why diabetes is not an opption when it seems like everything else under the sun is. i dont consider myself disabled but i dont consider lots of the options in this section disabled either. so idk?
No, I don't think so, glycogen storage disease should be something else, glycogen is a complex form of sugar than can be broken down into glucose when there is a need for it. If anything I think it would fall more likely to hypoglycemia, maybe there is an a (other) you could mark and name diabetes, if not it doesn't matter just make sure your friend now you are a diabetic in case of an emergency.  (+ info)

It is hard to cope with and often times I just suffer the consequences - because I love food -- and eat some of forbidden stuff---
Try eating as much of nutrient dense food as we cannot retain - digest most of it and it just goes in to the drain. I hate it when people look at me as if I am anorexic when I am not - it is a condition that there is no cure.
if you are good with meat, and cheese have bun less burgers all day long, alomond milk shakes etc
