Healing For Diabetes

Preventing this type of diabetes can be of two types:
Primary prevention, which is conducted before the start of the disease, and secondary, when there is a clinical stage of disease.

Primary prevention consists of the following events:
Conducting genetic studies in children whose parents suffer from diabetes. In the near future in the developed countries plan to introduce screening of all newborns in order to identify genetic susceptibility to type I diabetes. Currently, such surveys are underway in Finland and in parts of Italy. Continue reading »

In order to conduct an effective treatment of diabetes, it is necessary constantly to monitor blood sugar levels. There are special devices designed for use mainly in the home, called a blood glucose meter.

Blood glucose meters are not used to diagnose diabetes, but only to monitor changes in blood sugar levels.

In addition to the instrument itself, the package usually includes a test strip, stick to pierce, battery, manual, carrying case. In selling a large number of blood glucose meters, which differ by the following Continue reading »

In order to be confident in the effectiveness of insulin, it is necessary not only to calculate correctly the dose, but also strictly abide by all the “process”. Otherwise, it may be a change in unpredictable blood glucose levels and, consequently, increases the risk of acute complications.

When deciding whether to change the dose of insulin due to insufficient action of the drug should be necessarily ruled out the error in the technique of insulin administration. Manipulation of the bottle must be carried out Continue reading »

On insulin therapy of type II diabetes become subject to the following indications:

The ineffectiveness of diet and maximum dose glucose-lowering medicaments, resulting in recording the following parameters: НbА1с > 7,5 %.

Fasting glucose> 8 mmol / liter.

The appearance of acute complications of diabetes.

On insulin also mapped by the need for surgery (this is usually Continue reading »

Diabetic foot syndrome – is a collective term that represents the totality of foot disease in diabetes mellitus. All these diseases are associated with lesions of the skin, soft tissues, bones and joints. They are manifested in the form of venous ulcers, skin-articular changes and necrotic processes. This is due to arise on the background of diabetes and neurological disorders, reduced trunk blood flow in the arteries of the lower limbs of varying severity.

This syndrome occurs in each 8-10th of a patient with diabetes mellitus, and every second is at risk. In diabetes mellitus type II, this syndrome develops in 10 times more frequent than in type I diabetes and may occur at the outset of the disease (and sometimes the first sign of Continue reading »

Elevated blood sugar is harmful to the kidneys of diabetic nephropathy development. This is specific vascular lesion of kidneys in diabetes, in the final stage of which develops chronic renal failure.

For 20 years, every second patient with diabetes mellitus (I or type II) developed kidney disease of varying degrees.

The causes of kidney damage.

High blood sugar levels. The worse your blood sugar is controlled, the higher the probability of occurrence of diabetic nephropathy. Continue reading »

In diabetes as a result of hyperglycemia may develop eye diseases that lead to impaired vision until the loss. The most common and dangerous complication is diabetic retinopathy.

The causes of retinopathy.
The most important causes that affect the occurrence and rate of development of retinopathy is the blood glucose level and duration of diabetes. Other important factors include age, presence and degree of hypertension, lipid disorders, smoking, renal disease and pregnancy.

How develops retinopathy?
The retina lines the eye and receives light from within. Food to the retina Continue reading »

Osmotic pressure in the blood is maintained by dynamic equilibrium diffusion processes between blood cells and the intercellular space. By developing pathological processes associated with an excess of blood osmolality (hyperosmolar), resulting to decrease of the less concentrated solution – the body’s cells, the fluid becomes more concentrated solution – the blood. As a result, fluid is drawn as it arises from the cells and their dehydration (dehydration).

Now we give the definition of this complication.
Hyperosmolar coma – is an acute complication of diabetes caused by insulin deficiency and characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperosmolar blood Continue reading »

It should be noted that hypoglycemia is an unavoidable consequence of a good compensation of diabetes mellitus on the background of insulin. However, even mild hypoglycemia should not be too frequent (more than three per week).

The study on control of diabetes and complications has been shown that hypoglycemia – a lesser evil compared with late complications of diabetes.

Hypoglycemia as a cause of death is very rare, because a significant reduction in blood glucose in the body included the processes of self-regulation, increased sugar and Continue reading »

Hypoglycemia that occurs during the night. A distinctive feature of this type of hypoglycemia is that person in a dream can not control himself and to recognize impending hypoglycemia.

Causes of the Night Hypoglycemia:

intense physical activity;

alcohol intake;

violation of the usual interval between the administration of insulin and dinner;

insufficient dinner;

large dose of the extended evening insulin (pods lowering drugs). Continue reading »
