There Drug Therapy Helps Diabetes

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 06:34:00 -0700

Diabetes clearly increases the risk of one of various cardiovascular disorders, including heart attacks, hypertension, or stroke. To reduce the risk of heart disease, doctors will usually give medicine to restore the abnormal levels of blood fats.

Unfortunately, recent studies show drug therapy to control blood pressure and lower blood sugar does not help prevent cardiovascular disease. In fact, drug therapy in some cases cause side effects.

A decade ago, health officials in the United States conducted three studies to see whether the three types of intensive therapy to lower blood sugar, blood pressure or blood fats effective for preventing heart attacks and strokes in diabetics (diabetes).

A study of blood sugar was stopped two years ago when researchers saw blood sugar control treatment was not much effect. However, two studies are in progress.

In studies of blood fats (triglycerides) which made the researchers from Columbia University and 5500 diabetes involves the risk factors also have other heart disease, namely hypertension and high cholesterol.

All the respondents received statins, cholesterol-lowering medication. Half of the respondents have triglyceride-lowering drugs and the rest a dummy drug. Five years later the entire group of respondents known to have the incidence of heart attacks and strokes are the same. This means that drug therapy does not help much.

From the results of research, proven therapies that incentives by drug-oatan not able to reduce the incidence of heart attacks, though can prevent a stroke. However, experts do not recommend that the diabetes to stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

So what to do with the diabetes? Stay focused on diet and healthy lifestyle and keep trying medications doctors recommended to reduce the risk of disease. Dr.Clyde according to Yancy, a cardiologist and president of the American Heart Association.

For people with diabetes, are advised to eat a varied diet in order to achieve a balance between carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Some have diabetes can control their blood sugar by eating only three meals a day and avoid sweet foods. While the rest need a strict diet.

To reduce the risk of heart disease, do the exercise because it increases blood flow through blood vessels smaller and increase the efficiency of heart pumping power.

Diabetes Symptoms

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:06:00 -0800

The classic triad of diabetes symptoms is polyuria (lots of urine), polydipsia (drinking a lot) and polyphagia (eating more). These symptoms may develop; a really fast set printed 1, particularly in children (months or weeks) but may be difficult to separate or to completely miss & & mdash; as well as developing the much more slowly & mdash; set printed 2. Set printed 1 [in / to] there may also be weight loss / weight (in addition to the normal or increased eating) and fatigue that can not be reduced anymore. These symptoms may also manifest set printed 2 diabetes in the diabetes patients who are poorly controlled. Initial symptoms related to direct effects of blood sugar levels are high. If blood sugar levels to above 160-180 mg / dL, the glucose will be up to the urine. If the higher levels, the kidneys remove extra water to dilute a large number of glucose is lost. Because the kidneys produce urine in excessive amounts, then the patient often urinate in significant amounts (poliuri).

As a result of the sufferer feel poliuri excessive thirst, so much to drink (polidipsi).

A large number of calories lost into the urine, patients experienced weight loss. To compensate for these patients often feel tremendous hunger so much food (polifagi).

Other symptoms are blurred vision, dizziness, nausea and decreased endurance during exercise. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes are more susceptible to infection.

Because of the severe lack of insulin, so before undergoing treatment with type I diabetes is almost always lose weight. Most type II diabetics do not experience weight loss.

In type I diabetes, symptoms begin suddenly and can develop rapidly into a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis. Sugar levels in the blood is high, but because most of the cells can not use sugar without insulin, so these cells take energy from other sources. Broken down fat cells and produce ketones, which is a toxic chemical that can cause the blood to be acidic (ketoacidosis). The early symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis is thirst and frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and abdominal pain (especially in children). Breathing becomes deep and rapid as the body attempts to improve blood acidity. Patient breath smell like the smell of acetone. Without treatment, diabetic ketoacidosis can progress to coma, sometimes in just a few hours.

Even after starting insulin therapy, type I diabetes can develop ketoacidosis if they missed an insulin injection once or experiencing stress due to infection, accident or serious illness.

Type II diabetes may not show symptoms for several years. If the more severe insulin deficiency, the symptoms arose in the form of frequent urination and thirst. Ketoacidosis is rare. If your blood sugar level is very high (up to more than 1000 mg / dL, usually results from stress-such as infections or drugs), then the patient will experience severe dehydration, which can cause mental confusion, dizziness, convulsions and a condition called coma hiperglikemik-hyperosmolar non-ketotik.

Chocolate Fix DIabetes Blood Work

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:13:00 -0800

Chocolate and Diabetes | There's good news for persons with diabetes mellitus - diabetes mellitus or diabetes. Research conducted in the German experts concluded, a cup of chocolate believed to be able to improve the work of blood vessels in diabetes.

In the research, the experts give three cups of chocolate that have been specially formulated every day for a month to have diabetes. The result, their blood vessels which had been severely damaged, returned to normal functioning.

Allegedly, it happened because of flavanol, one of the active substance contained in chocolate. Besides chocolate, antioxidants are also found in some types of vegetables, fruit, green tea, and others. Several other studies have also revealed the health benefits of flavanol for.

In another study, researchers from University Hospital Aachen, Germany, using a chocolate that have been enriched with flavanol. Dr Malte Kelm, who led the research said, flavanol work by increasing production of nitric oxide, a chemical substance in the body that will help limber up and widen blood vessels.

"Person with type II diabetes certainly okay to eat chocolate to their healthy lifestyle, but this study did not aim to encourage diabetes to consume more cocoa," Kelm said.

He added that research shows the flavanol intake may be necessary to prevent the complications of cardiovascular problems in diabetes. (bbchealth / hid / ri)

Red Box of Blood Glucose Lowering

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:42:00 -0800

Red betel Piper crocatum Latin language, is now present not only as an ornamental plant, but also traditional medicinal plants diabetic (diabetes mellitus - DM).

Community Sleman, Yogyakarta in particular, have taken advantage of properties of red betel leaf is hereditary. Empirically, in addition to diabetes, red betel leaves are often used as an alternative medicine hemorrhoid, inflammation, cancer, gout, hypertension (blood Cleaner), hepatitis, fatigue and ulcers.

Phytochemical compounds contained in red betel leaf that is alkoloid, saponins, tannins, and flavonoids. According to Ivorra, MD in the book "A Review of Natural Products and Plants as Potential antidiabetic," compound
active alkoloid and flavonoids have hypoglycemic activity or lowering blood glucose levels. Hara (1993) states tannins and saponins compounds can be used as an antimicrobial (bacteria and viruses).

Characteristic of this tropical plants, purplish green round trunked and not flowering. The leaves are heart-stemmed form the top and tapering. Leaves the surface shiny and uneven. As betel green, red betel plants also grow vines on the fence or trees. Leaves a bitter taste vibration, but it smelled more fragrant than the green betel. When torn, the red betel leaves slimy.

Red betel plants like the shade, cool and berhawa sun 60-75 percent. Red betel plants flourish and the good in the mountains. When grown in hot areas, direct sunlight, the stem dries quickly. In addition, the red leaves will fade. And Khasiatnya lies in the possibility of chemical compounds contained in red leaves.

Safe to eat

Young researchers from the Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), Mega Safithri and Farah have examined Fahma toxicity of water extract of red leaves and its ability to lower blood glucose levels of rats.
Making red betel leaf extract is very easy.
A total of 200 grams of red betel leaves boiled with 1 liter of water until the volume is 100 milliliters lives. Comparison of red betel leaves heavy with boiled extract volume of the drink is 200 grams: 100 milliliters or 2: 1.

To check the security level and the side effects that are antiseptic leaves this, Mega toxicity test. Extracts with concentrations 0, 5, 10, 20 grams per kilogram of body weight given orally to each of the six Sparague dawley rats. After seven days pencekokan, the body weight of mice was increased 24 and healthy wal-alfiat. Means, giving doses of the extract up to 20 grams per kilogram of body weight is safe and not toxic (poisonous).

Appropriate dose as militus diabetes drug, could be determined through testing antihiperglikemik on six groups of rats. Each group consisted of four mice. Group A consists mice received 0.9 per cent NaCl induced weight per volume and cekok akuades. Group B contains aloksan rats induced dose 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight and cekok akuades.

In the experiment, rats that suffered accidental millitus diabetes, by giving 150 milligrams aloksan dose per kilogram of body weight.

Group C contains aloksan rats induced dose 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight and antidiabetes drug cekok commercial Daonil 3.22 milligrams per kilogram. Group D, E, F contains aloksan rats induced dose 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight and cekok consecutive red betel leaf extract 100 x dose Daonil, 1000 x Daonil dose, and 20 grams per kilogram of body weight.

The treatment lasted 10 days. The result, blood glucose level group E and F mice showed no significantly different or the same group of normal mice. Red betel leaf extract dose of 20 grams per kilogram of body weight can reduce blood glucose levels for 34 mice, 3 per cent. Penurunnya higher than anti-diabetes drug delivery militus komesial Daonil 3.22 milligrams per kilogram of which only 27 percent lower blood glucose of rats.

The results of this study can be applied to human diabetics. Dose is the patient weight multiplied by 20 grams per kilogram of body weight. If the patient weight multiplied by degan 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. If the patient weight 50 kilograms, he takes 1 kilogram of fresh red betel leaves or 500 ml of boiled water extracts. This can Ektrak taken twice a day every morning and evening as much as 250 ml. However demikina clinical trials in people with diabetes has not been done.

There's Artificial Pancreas for Diabetes Patients!

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:37:00 -0800

THE scientist in Cambridge, England, showing artificial pancreas could serve to regulate blood sugar levels in children with type 1 diabetes. The results of this research is a step forward in diabetes research.

In these trials, the scientists combine sensors "real time" which measures glucose levels with insulin pumps that deliver so that they can control blood sugar levels overnight. This will significantly reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (blood sugar too low).

Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces only a little insulin or none at all. Without insulin circulating in the blood, the sugar will not be able to enter body cells and will remain in the blood. To replace the insulin the body does not produce it, type 1 diabetics rely on insulin medication or injections.

In research conducted in the UK, 17 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes participated in the study for 54 nights in the hospital. In general, glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps are used in this research is widely used and sold freely.

However, for the patient's condition monitoring system can be deeper, the researchers made a sophisticated algorithm to calculate the amount of insulin delivered based on current glucose levels (real time).

The researchers then measured the work of artificial pancreas to control glucose levels compared with patients who use insulin pumps. In general, artificial pancreas is able to keep blood sugar within normal levels around 60 percent, compared with the insulin pump that only 40 percent.

Since the late 1970s, doctors had to transplant the pancreas. If the transplant is successful, a lot of people with diabetes it does not take insulin or need to frequently measure blood sugar.

However, transplantation is not always successful. In addition to the risks associated with any surgery, there is also a reaction to rejection of new organs. Therefore, the doctors recommend the use of medications and lifestyle changes to control diabetes.

Hopefully, with the success of artificial pancreas test this, open the hope for people with diabetes avoid the dangers of high blood sugar fluctuations.

Treat Diabetes Through Insulin Not Enough

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:37:00 -0800

Up to now unknown, treatment for diabetes is done by giving insulin to regulate blood sugar levels within the normal range. However, it is not believed to be providing enough insulin to cure diabetes. Thus disclosed Chairman Metabolic and Endocrine Division, Department of Internal Medicine FK UI, Prof.. Sidartawan Soegondo in Jakarta, earlier this week.

It said Sidarta, insulin-glucose only duty is to enter into the cell. Besides producing insulin, the body also produces glucagon. This hormone has the opposite character of insulin. That is, when the body produces the hormone diabetics insulin is limited then things turned around where the production of the hormone glucagon that increases blood glucose levels contribute to increase.

In a normal person or not diabetes, insulin works to increase cellular glucose retrieval, so a decline in plasma glucose levels. Meanwhile, glucagon working raise plasma glucose levels by increasing liver glucose production (hepatic glucose production - HGP) and gluconeogenesis. The increase in plasma glucose concentration will give a signal for the secretion of insulin and glucagon secretion, which formed a normal glucose balance.

Not only that, in the body there are also hormones that play a role in inkretin regulate blood sugar levels. These hormones consist of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic Polypeptide). Two core of this hormone works to regulate blood glucose control and improve the function of the balance between glucagon and insulin.

"In type 2 diabetes, there is a shortage so inkretin glucagon and insulin balance disturbed. Inkretin likened to the shortage of the key (insulin) to open the door (Glucagon) for glucose into the cell does not fit. This is even more complicated, "he said. Whether or not fitted the key, he added, because inhibition of DPP-4 (Dipeptidly peptidase-4), a type of protein that breaks the system and alpha beta cells in the pancreas.

In addition, he said, disrupted the balance of insulin and glucagon increased lipolisis in the body. Lipolisis is a form of fat solution. Secretion that result in increased fatty acid levels in the blood. If liposis effects of insulin deficiency is accompanied by a heavy can cause ketosis.

Ketosis is the result of incomplete metabolism of fatty acids. Body fragments to form fatty acids into substances called ketones. Ketones are toxic to the body and the body system out through the urine. "This can be dangerous for the kidneys because it can cause kidney failure," he said.

Sidarta then underlines not only limited to diabetes treated with insulin therapy alone. But it is also followed by other therapy that serves to balance the hormones associated with diabetes. "Of course the homework for us, there is much to be learned again," he said.

Comprehensive treatment of food patterns diibaratkanya set. As is known, for people with diabetes should pay attention to three things namely cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar levels, because interconnected with each other.

He gave an example, to keep blood sugar levels so diabetics should minimize the consumption of food that tastes sweet, then this part is considered too salty to control blood pressure. Meanwhile, avoid greasy foods should be done as an effort to prevent high levels of cholesterol in the blood. "If only to avoid sweet, then why would" he said.

According to him, rather than reducing diabetic diet but arranged with the levels of food intake balanced content. "At least it was better because it still has a clear yardstick. Another thing that I think is dangerous because it does not have a dose is smoking, "he concluded. (cr2/rin)

Sweet ending Diabetes

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:36:00 -0800

An abscess on the wrist to signal the arrival of deadly diseases. At first, Assia Siti hands itch, and then came endless ulcers healed. At the same time he was quickly exhausted. 'And I ate and drank a lot, how could quickly tired? "He said. Culprit of all health problems are high levels of blood sugar: 650 mg / dl. Normal blood sugar levels of fasting, 126 mg / dl and 2 hours after meals, 200 mg / dl.

Siti Assia absurdly shocked to know their blood sugar levels soar. But eventually he realized: it was the fruit of long habit of this. Understandably, he was a man who likes to eat high-carbohydrate sweets, 'If I had a meeting or seminar, I eat snacks all the sweet,' said the woman was 57 years. Unfortunately, an alumnus of the University of Education Indonesia was practically never exercised because of preoccupations.

Assia Siti lifestyle just Nasir Heni in Jember, East Java, who routinely consume cups of sweet tea every day. The man was 50 years previously felt tired. 'Like no muscle,' he said. In addition he was dizzy, body itching, and staggered. Disturbances that occurred in 3 months. Sliding weight 50 kg live from the previous 75 kg. Lab results showed his blood sugar level 450 mg / dl.
Lifestyle

According to Dr. Aris Wibudi dr SpPD, a specialist in internal medicine hospital Gatot Subroto Jakarta, the main triggers of diabetes mellitus is a bad lifestyle. It means less physical activity and lots of sweet foods and greasy. Sweet foods increase blood sugar levels. Greasy food? Fat-laden fried foods trigger increased body weight. With increasing weight, the body less sensitive to the effects of insulin, so blood sugar levels rise. "

About diet, Aris suggested, 'Look at the amount of food, do not go overboard, avoid greasy foods, and Silah consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid eating anything at least 3 hours before bed,' he said. Such recommendations are not a lifestyle or Nasir Siti Assia. That's why they eventually positive diabetes mellitus.

According to Aris Wibudi many people do not realize that they are actually suffering from diabetes. Initially it does not cause diabetes and pain complaints. Patients are often only hunger, thirst, and frequent urination. 'In one night, time out can be 3-5 times to urinate. If such symptoms appear, you should check your blood sugar to the doctor, "said Aris.

Main Causes of Diabetes Kidney Failure

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:35:00 -0800

The main causes of a person experiencing chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis services (dialysis) is due to diabetes and high blood.

"If the disease is well controlled through the regular treatment of kidney disease will be prevented or slowed as early as possible," said Chief General Hospital Dialysis Unit Pirngadi Medan, Prof Dr Harun, in Medan on Wednesday.

He said, chronic kidney disease also can increase the risk of heart disease and blood vessel (cardiovascular), which ultimately also the largest cause of death for people with kidney failure.

According to him, actually kidney failure can be prevented if detected early on through blood tests and urine. And the majority of them in developing countries who are at early stages of this disease usually do not know if it has suffered kidney failure.

"For the early detection of kidney irregularities become very important and allows the appropriate treatment before kidney damage or occur as complications manifest perparahan others.

Meanwhile, the head of the Medical Staff of Functional Medicine Pirngadi General Hospital in Medan, dr Zulhelmi, say, the general public is not aware of their kidneys because of the mild, renal impairment is often not perceived.

Disturbance may progress to kidney ultimately does not work anymore.

"Check the doctor, because through the lab with a little blood and urine samples can be known whether kidney function is still normal or already disturbed, so that treatment can be done as early as possible," he said.
He mentioned, early symptoms of kidney failure can be seen as interference of pain on urination, bleeding, out of stone, flank pain, pale and easily tired

Can Diabetes Leads to Blood Wash

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:32:00 -0800

Blood sugar levels in people with uncontrolled diabetes can cause various complications. One of the bad conditions and expensive is the cause of kidney failure sufferers forced to wash the blood.

"Most dialysis patients are usually people with diabetes and high blood followed," said Dante Saksono Harbuwono, specialist in diseases of Metabolic and Endocrine Division, University of Indonesia, in the speech arena of diabetes on Women Health Expo, Friday (5/2/2010) .

Just to illustrate, in the American study, 100 percent of dialysis patients, about 43 percent of whom are people with diabetes, 28 percent of people with high blood pressure, and the rest for other diseases.

Chronic diseases

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by blood sugar levels are high. High blood sugar levels were caused by the inability of the body to produce the hormone insulin or ineffective use of insulin production. Blood sugar may rise as food, stress, illness, and certain medications.

Dante said, when blood sugar is not controlled, complications can occur. Complications associated with metabolic changes. In the kidney, for example, an interruption or change in the circulation and filtration functions.

In the kidney there are millions of tiny blood vessels that act as filters to remove waste products from the blood. Blood sugar levels high to make the kidneys filter too much blood.

After a few years, a filter system so that the protein would leak out in the urine. Work kidney weight causes the kidneys lose the ability to filter blood, causing kidney failure. Control of blood sugar and blood pressure will reduce the possibility of kidney damage.

"Blood pressure should also be kept high not because the join effect on function as well," he said. How to keep blood sugar levels and blood pressure, among others, with proper diet, regular exercise, and consumption of drugs if necessary.

Flab

Another complication is the disruption of the heart. Approximately 75-80 percent of deaths in diabetes due to heart failure and blood vessels. This is because the incidence of fatty deposits in blood vessels so that blood flow was delayed. If it happens in the heart blood vessels, can cause a heart attack.

In addition, complications can also happen to other blood vessels in the eye (blindness), genitals, legs, and brain.

Trigger diabetes mellitus, among others, is the lack of motion, overeating, pregnancy, and lack of insulin production. Diabetes can not be cured, but the blood sugar levels can be controlled so that various complications can be prevented.

Dante said, type II diabetes problem more serious. The number of sufferers continues to grow. In Jakarta, for example, in 1980, the prevalence of diabetes of 2.8 per cent and in 2005 to 12.1 percent.

One obstacle is the handling of diabetes patients do not seek the correct information and try to treat themselves. Sufferers, for example, assume, consume the bitter-bitter, like brotowali, pare, or fruit mengkudu, will fight diabetes.

Often times after consuming the materials and do not do people with more control of the disease. Another problem is that people with low compliance. Having no symptoms, then the pattern of living with Asperger's bad back. (INE)

10 Plant Magic Lower Blood Sugar levels

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:30:00 -0800

Your Diabetes sufferers? If your blood sugar problem, there's no harm in trying the following 10 ingredients that help lower blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, lowers high blood pressure and cholesterol, and some other benefits.

1. Gymnema Sylvestre
The main functions: Lowering blood sugar
The usual dose: 200 - 250 milligrams per day
Plant Gymnema SylvestreNama Hindi means 'sugar destroyer', and the plant is said to have the ability to reduce the ability to detect sweet taste. The plant is considered as the most powerful plant to control blood sugar. Most likely, the way it works is by increasing the activity of enzymes that help the body cells to use glucose, or by stimulating production of insulin. Although there is intensive research, but have not found any serious side effects to the use of this plant.

2. Pare
The main functions: Lowering blood sugar
The usual dose: 50 - 100 milliliters (3-6 tablespoons) of juice per day
Pare this bitter considered able to help cells use glucose more effectively and reduce the absorption of sugar in the intestine. The researchers in the Philippines that examines the consumption pare the men and women in capsules for 3 months found a decrease in blood sugar, although a little, but constant. The problems that arise are digestive problems, but it is not clear what.

3. Magnesium
The main functions: Lowering blood sugar
The usual dose: 250 to 350 milligrams per day
Magnesium deficiency is not uncommon as a cause of diabetes, these symptoms even worsen the condition of blood sugar and insulin resistance. Several studies have shown that magnesium supplementation can improve insulin function and lower blood sugar. Try to consult with your doctor before taking insulin.

4. Prickly Pear Cactus (cactus fruit flesh)
The main functions: Lowering blood sugar
The usual dose: if consumed as food, 150 grams of cooked cactus per day.

Ripe fruit of this cactus can lower blood sugar levels in the body. Form which can be found is in the form of fruit, or juice, or powder. The researchers found that this fruit lower blood sugar levels because of the similar components with insulin. Fruit is also high in fiber.

5. Gamma-Linolenic Acid (gamma linoleic acid)
The main functions: Reduce neuralgia
The usual dose: 270 to 540 milligrams once a day
Gamma linoleic acid, or GLA is a fatty acid found in evening primrose oil. Several studies have shown that diabetes is a person who has a low GLA levels in the blood, and studies show that this supplementation can reduce, even prevent the nerve pain arising from diabetes

6. Chromium (Chromium)
The main functions: Lowering blood sugar levels
The usual dose: 200 micrograms per day.

These minerals were considered to improve the performance of insulin and is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Some penelituan shows that this mineral helps lower blood sugar, but only for those who are lack of chrome.

7. Bilberry
The main functions: Protect the eyes and nerves
The usual dose: 80-120 mg billberry standard extract per day.
Civil blueberries have powerful antioxidants in fruits and leaves. Antosianidin called antioxidants, helping prevent damage to small blood cells that can damage the nerve and retina. Research on animals shows a decrease in blood sugar are also due to consumption of fruit

8. Alpha-Lipoic Acid (Acid Lopoic Alpha)
The main functions: Reduce nerve pain, and lower blood sugar
The usual dose: 600-800 milligrams per day.

Abbreviated as ALA, vitamin-like substance that is neutralize the free radicals. The formation of free radicals is one factor increasing blood sugar, can create nerve damage and other problems. Jg ALA can help muscle cells to absorb blood sugar. In one German study, a group of 40 researchers check to see adults who consume ALA and placebo. At the end of the study for 4 weeks, found that ALA increases insulin sensitivity as much as 27 percent.

9. Fenugreek
The main functions: Lowering blood sugar
The usual dose: 5 to 30 grams setuap eating, or 15 to 90 grams per day.
Seeds used as a spice in Indian cuisine are able to lower blood pressure, improving insulin sensitivity, and lower cholesterol, according to several studies. This effect may arise because of the high levels of fiber. Jg seeds contain amino acids that increase production of insulin. In one study of fenugreek, 60 people who consumed 25 grams of this ingredient showed a good increase of blood sugar control.

10. Ginseng
The main functions: Lowering blood sugar
The usual dose: 1-3 grams per day in the form of capsules or tablets, 3-5 milliliters in the form of tinctures 3kali day.
Known for his ability to encourage the immune system, ginseng has few positive results regarding diabetes. The researchers found that ginseng slows carbohydrate absorption, increase the ability of cells to absorb glucose, and increased release of insulin from the pancreas. Found also in Toronto in a study, that ginseng can lower blood sugar levels up to 15-20 percent.

Nothing wrong with you try these natural supplements, but it's a good idea to consult with your doctor before taking them. If no change after one or two months, stop and do not waste money-back interest you.

10 Misconceptions About Diabetes

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:29:00 -0800

1. Diabetes not a disease Deadly - Wrong! In fact, diabetes is a global killer, which causes far more deaths than deaths from HIV / AIDS. This disease kills 3.8 million people a year. Every 10 seconds someone dies from dibetes or associated with diabetes.

2. Diabetes only on berdapampak rich ngeara state-only - Wrong!
Diabetes attacked all populations, regardless of income populations. This number continues to grow. More than 240 million people worldwide currently have diabetes. This figure will grow to more than 380 million by 2025. In some countries in Asia, the Middle East, Oceania and the Caribbean, diabetes, 12-20% of the population affected by diabetes. In 2025, 80% of cases of diabetes will occur in the country and middle-income rendaha.

3. Diabetes is funded large-scale globally - Wrong!
Offi cial Overseas Development Aid (the official foreign aid) for the health sector in 2002 reached USD 2.9 billion, and only 0.1% just to fund ALL of chronic non communicable diseases (non-communicable chronic disease). Most of the funds was EUR 2.9 billion for mendanani HIV / AIDS. Although far more deadly diabetes globally. When compared with the HIV / AIDS, funds for diabetes is only obtained from a fraction of that 0.1% of the funds available.
In addition, the bank duni to EUR 4.2 billion loan to fund health, population and nutrition between 1997 and 2002. Only 2.5% of the funds given to chronic diseases.

4. Diabetes can be treated with low cost - Wrong!
High cost of diabetes treatment and the potential to cripple any healthcare system. Pembanganan economic opportunities created by the United Nations wanted to developing countries would be eroded due to the effects of this diabetes problem.

5. Diabetes only affects old people - Wrong!
In fact, diabetes affects all age groups. Currently, an estimated 246 million people between the ages of 20 to 79 will be affected by diabetes. In developing countries diabetes on at least 80 million people anara ages 40-59.

6. Diabetes predominantly affects men, Wrong!
In fact, diabetes experienced by both men and women. In fact, more sedikti experienced by women. This also increased dramatically among youth and certain populations due to the risk factor genes.

7. Diabetes is the result of "lifestyle" is not well-Wrong!
The destitute and the children have only limited choices to live in terms of food and education. In short they are forced (or forced) to "lifestyle" is not healthy due to economic conditions and lack of education.

8. Diabetes can not be prevented - Wrong!
Above statements are true as to the case of type 1 diabetes, more than 80% of type 2 diabetes can be prevented with a healthy diet, increasing physical activity and encourage healthy lifestyles.

9. Diabetes be prevented with high cost - Wrong!
Many ways are cheap and low cost to prevent diabetes. Environmental improvements, changes in diet and increased physical activity can prevent diabetes pandemic.

10. After all, we are all going to die, by something because - True but. . .
Death is indeed inevitable, but death does not have experienced a gradual, painful or premature. Diabetes caused 3.8 million deaths globally. With awareness, prevention and appropriate treatment, this can be prevented.

New drugs Overcome Diabetes

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:24:00 -0800

New hope has emerged for people with diabetes (diabetes) in Indonesia, especially those on medication but had not a significant improvement.

Now, has come a new generation of drugs berzat active Vildagliptin, who claimed to have advantages over groups or generations.
GalviusGambar: Galvus (vildagliptin) is an oral drug taken once a day for patients with type 2 diabetes. Vildagliptin works by increasing the amount of two hormones inkretin found in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP).

Chairman of the Endocrinology Society of Indonesia (Perkeni), Dr. Soewondo Sp.PD Pradana-KEMD, stated, Vildagliptin is an oral diabetes medicine that uses a new approach.

"So far, the treatment of diabetes only for insulin (a hormone that lowers blood glucose levels), whereas glukagonnya (which increases blood glucose levels) have not been touched," said Suwondo Media Education in the Diabetes Management in Jakarta, Thursday (16/10).

Vildagliptin acts as an inhibitor of protein Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4 INH) are potent, selective and reversible. Simply put, this drug works by improving the function of pancreatic beta cells (cells that produce insulin) and pankeras alpha cells (which produce glucagon) as well as improve insulin sensitivity.

Inkretin
According Soewondo, other than lack of insulin, diabetes was also inkretin hormone deficiency, a type of hormone secreted intestinal tract when the food comes in, serves to regulate and control blood glucose. Inkretin also play a role in improving the function of the balance between glucagon and insulin.

Lack inkretin caused by the presence of DPP-4 protein that works to break inkretin. In fact, the lack of this hormone can interfere inkretin balance between glucagon and insulin.

"With the presence of inhibitors (inhibitors) DPP-4, the balance will be achieved so that the function of any organ of the pancreas will increase," said Suwondo.

Vildagliptin, he added, also produce effects farmakologik improve beta cell function is damaged and the only thing that worked against the alpha cells. The results of clinical trials indicate, patients who received vildagliptin 50 mg one tablet daily, beta cells more sensitive to glucose than not.

"In other words, Valdigliptin able to improve the function of improving the sensitivity of pancreatic secretion of glucagon on glucose and improve insulin sensitivity of glucose secretion," he said.

Vildagliptin will be marketed PT Dexa Medica October 2008 with effect from this. This drug was discovered by Novartis, the pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, but in Indonesia this drug will be marketed by Dexa Medica.

"Novartis and Dexa Medica conduct competency sharing to market these drugs to consumers in Indonesia. Socialization and introduction to the doctors will be conducted this week in 6 major cities, "said Head Marketing and Sales Synergy Dexa Medica, Dorothy Mary Dharma.

Diabetes mellitus type 1

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:00:00 -0800

World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes three forms of diabetes mellitus, ie type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (occurring during pregnancy)

Diabetes mellitus type 1

Diabetes mellitus type 1 - used to be called insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM, 'diabetes insulin-dependent "), or diabetes of children, characterized by loss of insulin-producing beta cells in the islands of Langerhans of the pancreas, causing insulin deficiency in the body. This type of diabetes may be suffered by children and adults.

Until now, type 1 diabetes can not be prevented. Diet and exercise can not reverse or prevent type 1 diabetes. Most people with type 1 diabetes have a health and a good weight when the disease began to suffer. In addition, the sensitivity and response of the body to insulin is generally normal in this type of diabetes, especially in the early stages.

The cause of most of the loss of beta cells in type 1 diabetes is a mistake autoimunitas reaction that destroys pancreatic beta cells. Autoimunitas reaction can be triggered by an infection in the body.

Currently, only type 1 diabetes can be treated with insulin, with careful monitoring of blood glucose levels through blood testing monitors. Basic treatment of type 1 diabetes, even though the earliest stages, is replacement of insulin. Without insulin, ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis can lead to coma and even death can result. Emphasis is also placed on lifestyle adjustments (diet and exercise). Apart from the common subcutaneous injections, also made possible the provision of insulin through a pump, which allows for the provision of inputs of insulin 24 hours a day at dose levels that have been determined, also possible dose (a bolus) of insulin as needed at meal times. Possible and also for providing inputs of insulin through a "inhaled powder".

Type 1 treatment must be continued indefinitely. Treatment does not impair normal activities, if sufficient awareness, appropriate care, and discipline in testing and medication is taken. Glucose levels on average for patients with type 1 diabetes should be as close as possible to the normal rate (80-120 mg / dl, 4-6 mmol / l). Some physicians suggest up to 140-150 mg / dl (7-7.5 mmol / l) for those with problems with a lower rate. such as "frequent hypoglycemic events". Values above 200 mg / dl (10 mmol / l) are often accompanied by discomfort and urinate too often leading to dehydration. Values above 300 mg / dl (15 mmol / l) usually require immediate treatment and can lead to ketoacidosis. The level of low blood glucose, called hypoglycemia, can lead to seizures or episodes of unconsciousness.

Know Before Fasting Diabetes Risk

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:46:00 -0800

In Indonesia there are approximately 25 million people with diabetes mellitus, while in Jakarta 1 of 7 people diabetes. And this number does not include the people who have risk factors.

Diabetes is a disorder of glucose use that occurs in the body. Diabetes does not happen just like that. Before a person diagnosed with diabetes, they have a normal phase, then increases to eventually suffer from prediabetes and diabetes.

"For diabetics, the concern now is the fasting blood sugar falls below normal (hypoglycemia), blood sugar rises above normal (hyperglycemia) and the complications that arise can be harmful," said Dr. Dante Saksono H, SpPD, PhD in the Mini Symposium 'Stay Healthy and Fit During the month of Ramadan' in the Hall FK-UI RSCM, August 19, 2009.

Dr. Dante divide the patients into three categories of diabetes risk, namely:

Low risk patients with diabetes, patients are usually controlled with diet, oral medication controlled by a single well and stable and no severe complications. Usually these groups are allowed to do the fasting.
Moderate risk patients with diabetes, these patients lived alone and uses insulin and also have medical conditions that affected, to heavy physical work, using a single dose of insulin, oral medication or a combination of advanced age. This group can do fast, but must get control of the doctors and diligent consultation.
High-risk patients with diabetes, have type 1 diabetes, using insulin doses or divided doses, experienced a severe illness, was pregnant and having complications. This group should not be done fast, if it wants to fast must have strict control of the doctor.

For that there are some things that should be done by people with diabetes are:

Do not push yourself, you should make a plan with your doctor before fasting and sought no dangerous complications.
Siasati good diet, consume complex carbohydrates such as rice or bread at dawn and sunset when combined with simple carbohydrates such as start dates or new tea followed by a complex carbohydrate or difficult to digest.
Arrange time and dose of the drug, there are several drugs that can make hypoglycemia, so it should first consult with your doctor what drug is better taken at dawn and at sunset. If there is only one drug is taken early morning so should be taken while fasting. For single-use insulin should be used when breaking and the dose reduced 10 percent.
Prevent dehydration, high blood sugar can ease a person affected by dehydration. But do not drink too much at dawn, but better to drink in stages since then break until dawn.
Know the signs of complications, complications which can occur due to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Check blood sugar in the first week on a regular basis three times a day during hours of 8, 12 and 17, if the blood sugar well controlled can continue fasting. Do not continue fasting if blood sugar is not well controlled and do consult with your doctor.

For patients with diabetes can do fast, if done in a planned and monitored properly.

AIIRA And Incident Diabetes Mellitus

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:40:00 -0800

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes worldwide continues to increase. In 2000 the number of patients around DM 171 million, while the year 2030 is expected to reach 366 million people. As already known DM had a very important effect on the health and quality of human life, therefore, efforts are made to reduce the incidence of DM is very important.

The results of various large clinical trials have shown that treatment with ACE inhibitors or AIIRA (Cancer groups) can prevent or slow the occurrence of DM, which is approximately 15-30% lower new-onset DM.

Research on losartan alone (LIFE: losartan Reduction Intervention For Endpoint) reduce the risk of new diabetes about 25%.

Although the exact mechanism is not known clearly, allegedly the renin-angiotensin system, aldosterone has an important role in glucose homeostasis.

Several mechanisms RAA system inhibitors in reducing the incidence of new diabetes, among others:

* Effect of protection against the cell? pancreas by inhibiting vasoconstriction and fibrotik effects of angiotensin II in the pancreas.
* Increased insulin sensitivity by increasing blood flow to skeletal muscle.
* Inhibits bad effects of angiotensin II on insulin signal pathways through protein kinase C signal in skeletal muscle and cardiovascular tissue (causing insulin resistance).
* Improving the transport of glucose by increasing the expression of muscle GLUT -4.
* Activation of PPARg system (regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats).
* To facilitate the change from preadiposit be adiposit mature cells (known to inhibit angiotensin II preadiposit changes adiposit into mature cells, which would cause the accumulation of fat in other tissues other than mature adiposit, namely liver, muscle and pancreas so that it will lead to insulin resistance).

650,000 Children Have Diabetes

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:37:00 -0800

Approximately 650,000 Indonesian children have diabetes mellitus type 2. Unhealthy lifestyles and unbalanced trigger an increasing number of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia.

Chairman of the Diabetes and Nutrition Center (PDN) RSU Dr. Surabaya Askandar Soetomo Tjokroprawiro said, the Ministry of Health recorded at least 13 million people of Indonesia have diabetes mellitus (DM). Five percent of them or about 650,000 people were children, who generally suffer from type 2 diabetes. "Type 2 diabetes is caused by a lifestyle that is not healthy to cause insulin resistance," explained Askandar, Tuesday (3 / 11).

Currently, type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes is most commonly found. "If the first type 2 diabetes associated with old age, it can attack since the age of children, adolescents, and adults age. Children today are a lot of unhealthy food and lack of move-prone type 2 diabetes suffer, "he said.

Parents should watch their eating habits and physical activity their children at home. In addition, parents also need to watch the development of child weight. Children who suffer from DM usually indicated often faster hungry and thirsty, urinate a lot, and her weight was never rises. "If you see these symptoms have to be careful. Try to encourage children to check their blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels are normal in children with normal glucose levels for adults, which ranges from 100-140 mg / dl, "Askandar explained.

Researchers at the PDN, Great Pranoto, say, increasing the number of people with DM is high enough. Nationally, the average sufferer rose 5.7 percent. However, in some big cities like Jakarta, increasing the number of sufferers could reach 12 percent per year. "This condition is of concern because the number of deaths due to diabetes is high. Throughout the world, an average of six people die every minute from complications of diabetes, "said Agung.

In fact, there is the possibility of DM patients in Indonesia more than that recorded in the Ministry of Health.

Askandar also revealed, DM sufferers prone to osteoporosis. High sugar levels in the blood stimulate hormones that reduce the level of bone density. Left untreated, people with DM will eventually osteoporosis and fractures easily.

Diabetes mellitus type 2

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:59:00 -0800

Diabetes mellitus type 2 - once called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM, "diabetes is not dependent on insulin") - occurs due to a combination of defective insulin secretion and insulin resistance or reduced insulin sensitivity (defective responsiveness of tissues to insulin), which involves the insulin receptor in cell membranes. In the early stages of the main abnormality is reduced insulin sensitivity, characterized by increased levels of insulin in the blood. At this stage hyperglycemia can be over in various ways and anti-diabetes drugs that increase insulin sensitivity or reduce glucose production by the liver, but the more severe the disease, diminished insulin secretion, and treatment with insulin often becomes necessary. There are several theories that the exact cause and mechanism of this resistance, but central obesity (fat concentrated around the waist in relation to Abdominal Organs, not it seems, subcutaneous fat) is known to predispose individuals for insulin resistance, possibly in connection with the expenditure of adipokines (a group of hormones) that impair glucose tolerance. Abdominal fat is especially active hormonally. Obesity is found in approximately 90% of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Other factors may include the hatch and a family history, although in the decade that was] the end [that] has continued to increase began to affect teenagers and children.

Type 2 diabetes may go unnoticed for years in some patients [before / in front of] the diagnostic results [as / when] the visible symptoms are typically soft or that does not exist, without ketoacidotic, and can be sporadic .. However, difficulties may be caused by irritating unnoticed type 2 diabetes, including failure associated with renal vascular disease (including diseases pulse / main street of a heart attack), vision damage, etc.

Type 2 diabetes is usually first, treated by way of physical activity change (usually increase), diet (generally to decrease carbohydrate intake), and weight loss. These can restore insulin sensitivity, even when the weight loss / weight is modest, for example, around 5 kg (10 to 15 lb), most especially when it is in abdominal fat deposits. The next step, if necessary, is treatment with oral [[antidiabetic drugs. [As / When / Because] insulin production is the treatment initially unimpaired, verbal (often used in combination) can still be used to improve insulin production (eg, sulfonylureas), to regulate the release / release that are not in accordance of glucose by the liver (and attenuate insulin resistance to some extent (eg, metformin), and to substantially attenuate insulin resistance (eg, thiazolidinediones). If this fails, insulin medicine will be needed to maintain normal or near normal glucose levels. A an orderly way of life of blood glucose checks is recommended in many cases, most particularly and most necessary when taking medication.

Beans Diabetes Drugs a Good & Cheap

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Tue, 9 Feb 2010 00:40:00 -0800

Diabetes or diabetes mellitus diidap many Indonesian people. A people with diabetes mellitus have blood sugar levels high so that the patient must be careful in applying the diet.

Doctors also often recommend that patients taking the drug in the discipline, diet, and exercise, and avoid stress. Many are drugs on the market to "cure" diabetes, but often expensive, because the materials must be imported. How to avoid stress when to buy drugs that exorbitant price just hard.

Lucky, have now found a cheap drug and can be obtained easily. In the traditional markets are muddy when rain and dust during the dry season, "drug" can be easily obtained. In the supermarket there, but if you want less expensive it is better to choose the traditional market. If you are reluctant to travel, we are just waiting for the builders vegetables through the house. Then the "drug" what's cheap? Beans.

Yeah, right. Fruit crops like beans, but shorter and fat were able to treat diabetes mellitus.

This was revealed in a dissertation Yayuk Andayani, who has presented his research titled "Mechanisms Bean Extract Antihiperglikemik activity in rats Diabetes and Active Component Identification" for the doctoral degree at the campus Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) Darmaga, some time ago.

In his research, Yayuk using white rats as experimental animals. White mice were three months old by Yayuk given induction treatment of diabetes. It means, "deliberately" made the white rat diabetes mellitus. Before injected with diabetes, these mice were given bean extract. It turned out that within 30 minutes after "intentionally" made to suffer diabetes, blood sugar pressure rats returned to normal, without experiencing a decrease in hypoglycemic levels (below the normal sugar level-red.).

The question arises, what is the "magic" beans, so just in time ½ hour could lower blood sugar levels to normal limits. Yayuk based analysis, the beans contained in a substance called B-sitosterol and stigmasterol. Both these substances are able to increase production of insulin.

Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by our bodies from the organ called the pancreas. Insulin works to lower blood sugar levels. Someone had diabetes mellitus when the pancreas produces little insulin or can not produce at all. It turned out that two substances were able to stimulate the pancreas to increase insulin production.

In addition to the two substances had, Yayuk obtain data that 100 grams of bean extract contained 7.81% carbohydrate, fat 0.28%, 1.77% protein, 2.07% crude fiber, and ash content of 0.32%.

For medical and pharmaceutical world, it's certainly Yayuk invention can be used as a reference to a diabetes drug with bean extract. Obviously many benefits, especially for communities, for diabetes drugs would be cheaper and easy to obtain with many materials available.

For society, the breakthrough could Yayuk comforting that many people with diabetes mellitus, particularly those of the incompetent. Enough to buy beans and eat vegetables regularly, blood sugar levels could fall. The benefits felt more beans when eaten as Lalapan. If cooked in the form of oseng-oseng with the addition of meat is fine.

Blessed are those who often eat Lalapan beans. It turned out that in addition to sweet, green beans can also prevent and eliminate diabetes..

Carnosinase Inhibitors

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Mon, 8 Feb 2010 00:41:00 -0800

Recently, Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and University of Heilderberg have found the existence of genes that contribute to the occurrence of chronic kidney disease (PGK) in patients with diabetes. As with known diabetes had the greatest cause of chronic kidney disease.

One of the initiators of dr.Fredman said that this has been 20 years done the search for genes that play a role in diabetes nephropati.

This gene named carnosinase 1 is located on chromosome 8. This carnosinase gene produces an enzyme called carnosinase; carnosinase contains 5 leucine/5leucine and called CNDP1 Manheim. It broke Carnosinase and menginaktifkan protective effects of carnosine. Carnosine is an enzyme that acts to have a protective effect on kidney tissue damage and as a destroyer of free radicals.

A study of 242 European white people found that those who have low levels carnosinase was better protected against the incidence of diabetes nephropati.

Based on the above, the potential of new therapies and markers for diabetes nephropati currently possible. Carnosinase inhibitors currently being tested in Germany. Currently evaluated whether the provision should carnosine or carnosinase inhibitors that will protect nephropati progression of diabetes.

Diabetes in children difficult to detect since the early

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Sun, 7 Feb 2010 00:42:00 -0800

Diabetes mellitus currently attacking not only adults, but had attacked the children and adolescents. Ironically again, diabetes in children is difficult to detect early stage even as a baby though.

According to doctors from the Child Specialist Hospital Luszy Gading Pluit Jakarta Arijanti, there are no specific signs of a baby who can prove that a child will be suffering from diabetes. "Usually the child will suffer from diabetes discovered at the age of 7 years and over," he said on the sidelines of diabetes mellitus Seminar, in Jakarta, Tuesday.

Luszy added, symptoms of diabetes in children is similar to symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, frequent bowel movements, decreased consciousness (coma), severe dehydration, seizures and so on. But the difference, the child's breath smelled of acid (acetone). This makes older people sometimes get stuck in it. "Many parents see signs like that think their children stricken with severe diarrhea. And she has developed diabetes. And no less a child with diabetes was taken to hospital in a coma, "he continued.

To anticipate, Luszy information, parents should pay attention to their children at home habits and the development of the child's weight. Children who suffer from DM usually indicated often quickly feel hungry and thirsty, urinate a lot and little weight never rises. "If parents see such symptoms, it must be careful and should immediately check blood sugar. Blood sugar levels are normal in children with normal glucose levels for adults that ranged between 100-140 mg / dl, "he said.

He explained, the children usually suffer from type 1 diabetes. This occurs due to deficiency of insulin due to damage pancreatic beta cells in the body. So that the child is experiencing shortage of the hormone insulin. Mention whether obese children can suffer DM, he said, not all obese children will surely suffer from DM. However, the obesity risk of children suffering from diabetes when he was a descendant with diabetes (genetic factors) 1.

According to him, diabetes in children can also cause death and can interfere with the process tumbuhkembangnya. DM-affected child should undergo insulin therapy rather than taking medication. Children with diabetes also need to be maintained diet and regular exercise. Luszy admit the children are a little difficult to manage his diet especially now that the presence of fast food is very popular with children. It was here that need parents, families and teachers in helping children to be watching a good diet.

Meanwhile, specialist doctors in the diabetalogi Gading Pluit Hospital, Benny Santosa said the DM can also attack a pregnant woman. Usually it is only known at the time of age entered the fourth month of pregnancy. "But it was not rare, occurs only during pregnancy alone. After giving birth, they had recovered from diabetes, "he said.

Benny reminded, pregnant women who have been convicted of a diabetic, should be able to manage your diet well. "Even after the birth of their declared cured, but the diet must be kept. Because if not, within the next 10 years, and they will suffer with diabetes, "he said.

Therefore, he mengajurkan to pregnant women who had diabetes during pregnancy handaknya insulin therapy and regular exercise. According to him, this insulin therapy does not interfere with the development of babies in the womb. "Akadar Lowers blood sugar of 40 mg / dl in pregnant women at the age of nine months of pregnancy or two weeks before birth, will not cause any negative impact for the baby," said Benny.

Protein Found Key Factors for Diabetes Pregnant Women

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Sat, 6 Feb 2010 00:43:00 -0800

Protein in the pancreas may be an impact to the mechanism for gestational diabetes or commonly known as diabetes in pregnant women, according to U.S. researchers said Saturday.

Researchers at Stanford University discovered a protein, which is Merrin who can act as a brake for the pancreas to control the production of cells needed to produce insulin which helps the body convert sugar into energy.

Pregnant mice with the way genetic engineering to produce Merrin made too much that he could not make the cells that make insulin and conditioned as a people with diabetes during pregnancy.

We feel the results of our research has opened a number of possibilities including the possibility to find out how to type 3 diabetes or diabetes during pregnancy and type 2 diabetes is diabetes that occurs in adulthood may occur, "said Kim Dr.Seung a professor of the Department of Development Biology at Stanford University who writes that his research in the journal Science.

Gestational diabetes or diabetes that occurs in a woman with diabetes who are not yet at the time she was pregnant body can not make and use insulin as needed so that excess sugar in the body.

In the United States there are 135 thousand cases of pregnant women with diabetes that can lead to the birth of deformed babies, and diabetes can reduce the child was conceived.

Other researchers, researchers have found that the hormone prolactin, was found during pregnancy, triggers the production of insulin or the cells that produce insulin during pregnancy.

Mechanism that is behind this process remains unclear, but Kim and his colleagues argue Merrin play an important role.

Merrin protein itself has shown its role in preventing pancreatic cancer in the gland by blocking cell growth.

At the time Kim and fellow research team gave prolactin to nonpregnant mice, the level Merrin and pancreas decrease in size increases, a similar condition as the condition of pregnancy.

Kim and colleagues argue colleagues lowered prolactin levels during pregnancy the amount Merrin, so that the body is conditioned to produce cells that produce insulin to support fetal growth.

"We conclude that the conditions for the occurrence of gestational diabetes which occurs where the inability of cells to produce insulin in response to growth signals such as prolactin," Kim commented.

He said the findings were further tested haruis but if it is proved true it would pave the way for a new test to predict the possibility of a diabetic woman during pregnancy.

It also would open the way to stimulate the cells that produce insulin in diabetics who do not have the number of cells that produce insulin in sufficient quantities so as to produce these cells the body needs, so stated Kim.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 5 Feb 2010 21:04:00 -0800

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) involves a combination of capability and expenditure hormonal reaction that is not enough insulin, mimicking type 2 diabetes in some recognition. Occur during pregnancy and can be cured after childbirth. GDM may be harmful to the fetus or the mother's health, and about 20-50% of women with GDM survive.

GDM occurs in about 2-5% of all pregnancies. GDM is temporary in nature and fully able to treat but, not treated, can cause problems with pregnancy, including macrosomia (high birth weigh), the fetus has defects and heart disease since birth. Patients requiring medical supervision throughout the pregnancy.

Risk of Fetal / Neonatal associated with GDM include anomaly since birth as related to the heart, the central nervous system, and [as / when / because] the form of muscle malformation. Insulin improved things can hinder fetal distress syndrome, surfactant production and cause things regarding fetal breathing. Hyperbilirubinemia may result from destruction of red blood cells. In the case of a nuisance, perinatal death may occur, most commonly as a result of placental abundance of weak / poor in relation to the destruction / weakening of the vascular. Induction / Appointment may be characterized by reduced placental function.

Diabetes mellitus

rudikenten@gmail.com (rudi) — Fri, 5 Feb 2010 21:03:00 -0800

Diabetes mellitus or diabetes is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar levels) is a constant and varied, especially after eating. Other sources mention that the reference to diabetes mellitus is a chronic state of hyperglycemia accompanied by metabolic disorders due to hormonal disorders, which cause a variety of chronic complications in the eyes, kidneys, and blood vessels, with lesions in the basal membrane with the electron microscope examination. [2]

All types of diabetes mellitus have similar symptoms and complications at advanced level. Hyperglycemia itself can lead to dehydration and ketoacidosis. Long-term complications include cardiovascular disease (double the risk), chronic renal failure (major cause of dialysis), retinal damage which can cause blindness, and nerve damage that can cause impotence and gangrene with risk of amputation. A more serious complication is more common when blood sugar control worse.
Causes

The formation of the major diabetes is due to a lack of insulin (diabetes mellitus type 1, the first known), or less sensitive tissues to insulin (diabetes mellitus type 2, a more general form). In addition, there are types of diabetes mellitus are also caused by insulin resistance that occurs in pregnant women. Type 1 requires insulin injections, while type 2 treated with oral medication and insulin needs only if the medicine is not effective.

Researchers at Rhode Island Hospital and Brown Medical School have found that insulin was not only produced in the pancreas but also in production in the brain, and allegedly can increase your risk of Alzheimer's disease.

"What we found is that insulin not only produced in the pancreas, but also in the brain. And we found that insulin and other growth factors important for the survival of brain cells, contribute to the development of Alzheimer's, "said senior author M. Suzanne de la Monte, a neuropathologist at Rhode Island Hospital and a professor of pathology at Brown Medical School.

He further said that, "This raises the possibility of Type 3 diabetes."
