weight loss If you are suspecting that your kid may have diabetes, it is very important that you keep an eye on him. Spotting symptoms of diabetes in children is not always that simple, but you must have an easier time after reading some important facts.
As the kid with diabetes eats, the food is digested and sugar is still released in the process of digestion. The sugar is immersed into the bloodstream and is imported to the cells. Unfortunately, the pancreas does not react by producing insulin, so the sugar cannot go into the cells. A domino effect is mobilized when the sugar stays locked out of the cells.
The kid may become worn-out because the cells are exactly ravenous for energy. In the meantime, sugar keeps on building up in the blood. If this continues, the blood would sooner or later become too thick and syrupy in texture. It would run through the veins. Luckily, the kidneys function and do their job. These organs clean the blood and get rid of toxic substances that may otherwise damage the body.
1. The Frequent Diaper Rash
One thing that you may tend to ignore or may not have known before is the truth that recurrent diaper rash is one of the most common symptoms of diabetes in kids. If you are certain that you are very strict in terms of cleanliness when it comes to your baby, yeast may be the one to blame.
People with diabetes cannot defend against yeast as well as others. The excessive quantity of yeast in the system causes the diaper rash.
The body starts to use the liquid within the body tissues to satisfy itself when the levels of sugar are very high. Usually, this is not enough and the person affected is left with a tremendous feeling of thirst. Because drinking liquid excessively appears like the only way to satiate this thirst, they end up urinating far more than the usual frequency and amount. If you have observed these diabetes symptoms in your kids, it is a smart move to consult a doctor.
2. Kids Get Very Hungry So Often
There are several days when kids are more very hungry than others, but this should serve as a warning sign and you must be concerned if this occurs more often than the normal. If your kid seems to be like a never-ending pit, there is a high probability that he or she has diabetes.
Or course, a healthy desire for food is not an instant indicator of this kind of disease, but it is certainly something that you must want to keep an eye on, especially if the appetite of your child is normal rather than delicate.
3. Your Child Is Eating So Much Yet Losing Weight
You must absolutely worry about diabetes if your kid is eating much more than normal, yet he or she is losing weight. This is such a huge problem because these symptoms usually do not exist together; unless an individual suffers from diabetes. You can find some natural products called garcinia cambogia that may help with gluscose excess at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Supplement-Garcina-Cambogia-Capsules/dp/B00DFGBKGY.
Given that excessive sugar causes the levels of energy to rise, the fat is burned off with no any actual effort being exerted. This may seem a good thing if your kid is in the overweight group, but this can essentially trigger more danger than it is worth.
4. Blurred Vision
Another obvious symptom of diabetes in kids is blurred vision. When the levels of sugar in the blood are very high, the body occasionally attempts to pull the fluid it needs from the eyes. This results in blurred vision.
Although it is only temporary, it is definitely something that you should worry about. Fortunately, the vision is later restored when the body is hydrated again. Of course, there are other health problems that may provoke blurred vision, but diabetes is one of the most usual culprits.
5. The Child Changes Mood More Often Than Normal
Have you noticed that your child switches mood very often these days? Although mood swings are normal for kids of all ages, there is a possibility that their irritability is caused by uncontrolled glucose levels.
As a parent, you have to talk to your child and ask if there is something that bothers him. If he or she tells you that there is nothing unusual at that specific moment, you must think about the fact that your child may be affected by diabetes. Also, this condition runs in the family.
6. Increased Thirst and Frequent Urination
Fluids are pulled from the tissues as the excessive sugar keeps building up in the bloodstream of a child. This makes the child thirsty. Consequently, your kid may drink a lot and urinate frequently.
7. Dry Mouth Or Throat
According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 2 main reasons of dry mouth for individuals with diabetes: high blood sugar levels and medication side effects. Other cause may not straightforwardly relate to diabetes, but which can aggravate the problem, are breathing through the mouth and poor hydration. Dry mouth can also be an effect of having diabetic neuropathy.
Dry mouth is a result when there is poor saliva production. Additionally, saliva is very important in the process of food digestion. It washes food particles and bacteria from your teeth as well as it counterbalances the acid in the mouth.
Saliva helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay. For that reason, a lack of saliva increases the risk of gingivitis and cavities. Also, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the condition leads to other issues, which include mouth sores, salivary gland infections, and irritation around the mouth.
8. Kussmaul Breathing
Heavy, rapid breathing or Kussmaul breathing is usually linked with serious metabolic acidosis, specifically diabetic ketoacidosis or DKA as well as kidney failure. This is a form of hyperventilation, which refers to any breathing pattern that lowers the carbon dioxide level in the blood due to increased depth and frequency of respiration.
If your child’s diabetes is not treated, it can lead to rapid and shallow breathing. If the condition worsens and still undiagnosed, it will become labored, deep and gasping. Later, it will result in a breathing pattern.
If your child shows 1 or more of these symptoms, the problem is definitely a serious matter. Keep calm and deal with it in your best possible manner. The most excellent course of action would be to see and discuss it with a physician. Let him know that your child may have diabetes and you want to be sure to have it treated.

online poker Just a brief update one year after this article was written: not much has changed really, so most of it is still current news.
As of June 2011 the US online poker landscape looks like a battle field with very few survivors. Indeed if you like to play poker online and you live in the United States, very few choices are currently available to you for real money games.
In fact Cake Poker seems to be pretty much the only way to play poker online currently. Carbon Poker and Bodog poker just announced that they are not welcoming US players for the near term. Doyles’ Room and True Poker were shut down by the FBI 2 weeks ago. PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, UB Poker and Absolute Poker were banished from the US market 2 months ago when the Department of Justice seized their .com domains (later released). And of course 5 years ago after the implementation of infamous UIGEA the major rooms of the time already left, such as 888poker, Party Poker and Pacific Poker to name a few.
This witch hunting crusade has no goal other then satisfying the bigots in the USA as well as the ego of a few officials in the DOJ who have a very ambitious career plan. Remember that Rudy Guliani started his ascension to political prominence by conducting a similar crusade about some of the investments bankers on Wall Street. And this certainly led him a long way as he was a Republican presidential candidate at some point. So here we go again, if the DOJ can indict some of these online poker rooms and collect a few billion dollars in fees in the process, what a victory will it be for the district attorneys at the top of this process.
But this is a story very unlike the one of Drexel Burnham Lambert and Michael Milken who robbed the public of hundreds of millions of dollars. Here the DOJ is simply trying to restrict the freedom of millions of online poker players who love the game of poker and love to play it on the Internet. They are using a technicality regarding deposit and withdrawal processes to indict and close these businesses, adding to unemployment while doing so.
Let’s just hope that this fiasco leads to a clean online gambling regulation in the near term so that the major players are allowed to offer the game to everyone who decides to enjoy his favorite hobby.

online blackjack You probably have heard me talk about my love for blackjack time and time again. I love anything having to do with blackjack. The dealer, whether real or virtual, the smell of the deck, the sound of chips being tossed together.
Being in an actual casino has its many benefits, as does playing online. When playing online you do not have to worry about tipping the dealer, but when playing in a brick and mortar casino you want to make sure to treat the dealer in a proper manner.
Nothing frustrates me more than playing blackjack with a bunch of uneducated rookies. I don’t mind a rookie, someone willing to be taught. But someone who thinks they have it all figured out, it just really chaps my you know what. Here are just simple tips that I use for tipping the dealer, but you can find many different ways of tipping with a simple google search.
Now be weary that although tipping is encouraged, no dealer is going to fault you for not tipping if you lose. But, if you have a nice run from the dealer it’s nice to show him your appreciation. I like to tip around one to two dollars per hand if I’m playing at a lower end table. If I’m playing at a $50 minimum table then I tip five dollars a game.
Use these dealers though, they want you to win. They’ll tell you what to do if you ask. After all they are making the same wage whether the casino takes you money or not, but if you happen to win they know they will benefit from a nice tip from you.

gambling What are the main poker news at the start of 2012? So far in 2012 there is no major news, mostly small stories that are a continuation of the 2011 stories.
The main story which we have not yet heard much about is Full Tilt Poker and the Group Tapie acquisition of their assets. As both the US Department of Justice and the current shareholders of the private company have given their approval to this deal, the technical details are now negotiated and finalized between Tapie and the DOJ. That step is expected to be completed for the most part in the next few months. Then the final step will be the reopening of the poker room and how they handle existing players’ bankrolls. This is the big question in the online poker community. It was even rumoured that some players will be reimbursed in shares of the new company. This type of transaction would only make sense for the largest bankrolls and it remains to be seen if this goes through.
Another news is the building up of the team of pros at lock poker. In the past Full Tilt and Pokerstars were the rooms hiring a lot of pros, and there were quite a few at UB Poker too. These were the major hirers of pros, now obviously a lot of these pros are looking for a new home. Interestingly Pokerstars has been somehow bucking the trend as they have let go a number of their top pros, Joe Hachem most recently. So with respect to Lock Poker, they are the ones doing a lot of hiring at this time, and they just added Kevin “Civell” Vandersmissen to their stable. Kevin is a young gun from Belgium who has been noticed in particular for finishing second at two EPT events. Lock Poker has not always been lucky with their pros as they was a cheating scandal last year involving one of their previous pros: José “Girah” Macedo. The latter could not resist the temptation to fleece his unknowingly students as he could see their hole cards. Lock Poker now have the largest stable of poker pros outside the majors and they are one of the dominant operators of US online poker.
Another interesting story is about what is going on with Phil Ivey. Phil was the leading player at Full Tilt Poker and is considered by most as the best living poker player (possibly the best poker player ever if he continues to be successful long enough to outshine Doyle Brunson and Stu Ungar). Phil was not just their top player, he was also a major shareholder and he took a big hit on both fronts after the downfall following Black Friday. Since April last year Ivey was nowhere to be found, not even at the WSOP. He was seen at the end of the last year at the Macau high stakes tables, but not at any online poker site. In fact given his caliber he could only possibly play at one site other than Full Tilt, and this is pokerstars. Coincidentally rumours are now spreading that a pokerstars poker player under the username ‘RaiseOnce’ is none other than Ivey himself. There is enough evidence including his playing style to be almost certain that this player is none other than ‘No Home Jerome’. A player to watch for sure.

online gambling In case you are a sports enthusiast you definitely probably already noticed the fact that there are many online bookies available on the internet. The number of online sports betting websites has significantly increased during the last couple of years thanks to the fact that we are dealing with a fast expanding market, since more and more people start to notice that by placing sport bets over the internet they get to save both time and money. Time because you will no longer have to drive over to the local bet shop and money because the odds offered by online sports betting websites are a lot better compared to what the local shop can offer you.
The moment you want to start placing a bet over the internet you definitely want to use only the most reliable online sports betting websites. This way you can be sure that your money is safe and at the same time you will get paid in case you manage to win a few bets. One of the easiest ways to tell whether an online sportsbook can be trusted or not, is by looking at the payment methods that you can use to make deposits. Those online sports betting websites that accept Paypal as a payment method have been carefully selected and went through some rigorous tests before being accepted. And this way you can be sure that your money is going to be safe while placing online bets.
Paypal is right now the world’s most popular online payment processor. The reason why this is happening is because it’s very simple to use and at the same time your money is going to be protected all the time against fraud thanks to a great security system. With the help of paypal not only you can make deposits at some of the world’s largest online betting websites but you can use this payment method also to cash out your winnings.
Along with all the online sports betting websites that are accepting paypal you will also get the chance to use paypal for thousands of other merchants on the internet. Paypal is currently known to be one of the most universally accepted online payment method.
Here you can find the complete list with all the online sportsbooks out there that are accepting Paypal as a payment method: PartyBets, 888 Sports, Bet365 Betting, Ladbrokes Betting, Paddy Betting, BWIN SportsBook and BetFred. You can select any of those internet gambling websites and you will be able to make a deposit or to cash out your winnings with the help of Paypal.
Even if there are many online sportsbooks right now that accept paypal as a payment method the US players are not going to be allowed to use paypal as a payment method. This means that in case you are located in the US, you will have to look for another payment method. But the Europeans have absolutely no interdiction regarding this.

online poker The biggest mistakes in sit and go poker is probably playing too loose early in the game.
I have made an observation that I wish to share with you about the single biggest mistake I see in the online sit’n go poker games. This affects virtually all newcomers to the game and even many experienced players.
Many of your opponents will play far too many hands at the beginning of a sit’n go game. This is especially true of low limit sit’n go games and newer players. One of the most common examples of this is playing ace – rag (an ace with a small kicker). Such hands make for very difficult decisions after the flop and should usually be avoided in early sit’n go play. When you play only the best hands early in the game you will enjoy the following advantages:
1. Increased probability that you will make the final money positions,
2. You are able to sit back and watch the table to learn player types and betting patterns,
3. Bigger pots raked in from loose players when you do have monster hands,
4. You conserve chips so you have more available to push when you hit the monster hands,
5. You will frequently make the later stage of the game with a solid chip stack.
Play Tight Aggressive Poker in the early stage of a sit n go poker game.
Here is a tip for you: if your opponents are playing too loosely (as they almost certainly will be) make strong raises when you are dealt premium hands and rake in the chips from your looser opponents.
The key in single table sit and go tournaments is to play tight early in order to survive to the later stages, but when you reach them it is then time to play looser as the number of opponent decreases. The lower the number of players at the table, the stronger your hands naturally become. So if You have A9o at the beginning of the game in early position, you probably want to toss that hand. But if there are only 3 or 4 players left, this is now a strong hand even if you are first to act.

online gambling PlayTech is a large company which develops and provides software used by online casinos. Distinguished by its rapid development, it is currently valued at 1 billion USD, which says a lot about its reputation and reliability. The company is second only to MicroGaming, which currently powers the most number of online casinos. The top three online casinos that use PlayTech’s software are Golden Palace, Tropez Mobile Casino, and XXL Club Casino.
I have recently had the chance to try out one of the casinos, so I chose to XXL Club Casino which leads the group in terms of customer support. I signed up following a link that offers a bonus of $10 (which I quickly used up playing $2 per spin in a game of slots). After that, I immediately made a deposit online, and then played my favorite games.
I started with Blackjack betting the minimum stake of $2. Interestingly enough, I won 57 times and lost 38 times with 5 pushes. I had 3 losses at a time followed by 8 gains and a push at the middle. But when I doubled, the results were not as impressive: 2 wins out of 7. This makes the probability of gain over 50%. Overall, the results were unpredictable—which is a good sign for any casino game. I won a lot, but the doubling results leave much to be desired. I ended up walking away from the virtual blackjack table $33 richer.
I then tried my hand with Video Poker and played the standard Jack or Better with a normal payment table 6/9. Casinos that use PlayTech software have a wider range of stakes – 5¢ to $5. I wagered five 25¢ and got odd results: 14 pairs, 15 two pairs, 12 treys, and three fulls. There is no way to explain how my pairs became treys and full-houses, nevertheless, I won $10. The doubles were vaguely around 50-50.
Just for fun, I also tried the casino’s European style roulette. I placed a bet and pressed the spin button. The advantage is that there is an option to make blank spins. However, the minimum bet is $2. After a few spins, a quote by Albert Einstein came to my mind: ‘you cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it,’ which apparently holds true in my case.
Generally, I was lucky in my winnings since the random losses could not be explained, at least statistically. There’s nothing bad to say about PlayTech online casinos, they run a fair game and rarely encounter problems—none at all in my case. The graphics were high-quality for each of their wide range of games. Their joystick interface was useful and convenient with a normal speed of half an hour per 100 hands and the downloading was fast.
In my opinion, PlayTech gives players a stable platform for online gambling – neat graphics, cool interface, and the greatest convenience for players. Few casinos use this software, but its adoption is sure to increase. The bottom line is that PlayTech is one of the top recommended software for gambling in online casinos. Any online casino running PlayTech’s software will surely be worth your time.

online poker I came in 250th in a recent tournament. That was only out of 450 players! Why did it happen? What can I do to improve my play? The answers may surprise you. Read on for a full confession and honest analysis after my heartbreaking session of NL Texas Holdem at Full Tilt.
Yesterday night I played in a freeroll at full tilt poker. I got the entrance as I just signed up with a full tilt bonus code. The competition was tough. I went into the event nervous. Big mistake. You can’t play your best when you feel outclassed. I lost the tournament, went out in 250th place. I didn’t do that well – trust me, there were only 450 entrants. I made a lot of mistakes.
The first one as I mentioned beforehand was going into the game nervous. I put too much importance on it. I wanted the prize money. I needed the prize money. I had it spent in my mind. Any poker book will tell you that it is a mistake. I play better in free rolls where I can earn less than $10 for my time than I did in this match. Why? I felt inferior. I assumed when I planned my pre-tournament strategy that they all knew what they were doing. I gave them a lot more respect than I should have and much more respect than I gave myself.
The point is – in fact the point of this whole article is this – there is so much advice out there about poker. I listened to my brother’s advice. I asked him how to play hands during this tournament. I second-guessed and over-analyzed myself. Then, I saw hands that I wanted to play – that my gut told me to play that I ignored playing because I was too rigidly playing the way others had told me to.
I didn’t trust myself. I was playing everyone’s game except my own. That was my biggest mistake – not listening to my intuition. If I could do it over again, I’d be excited – not nervous – to play. I’d be ready to put in hours upon hours of playing time to knock out this field of pretty decent Texas Hold ‘Em players – because that’s what they were – decent holdem players. Some were fantastic; but, most were just okay.
I wasn’t any worse off than the rest. We started with equal chips – and, I wager, pretty equal skill levels. I was no better or worse than my competition! Luck, in my opinion, is also equal over time. Some people seem to have it one night and others will get it another. However, the difference was that I let my own insecurities throw me off my game. I let others’ advice dictate my actions at the table. I also let the other players at the table bully me around.
I will take this loss as a huge learning experience. I’ll get back on the poker bandwagon. I’ll play my ‘A’ game or I won’t play at all. I’ll take chances. I’ll be me. Most of all – I’ll have fun and play poker like it’s a game because that’s all it is in the end, a game. It’s a beautiful, wonderful, fantastic game that I truly love. I lost sight of that because I wanted to buy some extra presents for my kids. And I got angry at myself for failing. Unfortunately, if I was half as smart as I think I am, I would have figured this all out before I entered into that tournament. Live, learn and move on to play another day. That’s my new poker mantra.

gambling I’m not really an advocate of laying down strong hands on the river. But sometimes, sometimes only in rare occurrences should you consider doing that. This one was not the hardest of tough folds. It looks a tougher than it is because if I am folding trips plus a low in stud/8, this is not such a big deal.
The key to making a good fold easily is knowing when your opponent is a good player and when your opponent is a nutcase. With nuts case holding a board of 6624, there is no way that good player is raising because he has a strong low hand. While he does in fact have a rough six, that’s just not enough for him to go to town here. Coupled with the fact that nuts case jammed on 4th street as well as the river and I get to kiss my set goodbye. This isn’t always going to be a fold because you’ll often find yourself at the river with two players like that nuts case. In that case, it’s hold on for dear life.
I also play a lot of limit hold’em, and there are some things which are true about the game which just boggle the mind. For example, there are situations in which you lose money when you call with a hand, or you lose more money when you raise, then call any reraises with that same hand. But it is profitable to raise and reraise with that same hand. Strange but true. And actually not all that uncommon.
