As diabetes is associated with hyperglycemia and several other pathological changes such as infections, inflammation, foot ulcers and impairment of wound healing, these additional effects besides hypoglycemic effect of O. hispidum may be proved as a breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes.

Following 2 weeks of electrical stimulation, the blood glucose level was significantly (t = 5.026, P = 0.001) reduced in experimental group, but there was an insignificant fall in the same for the control group. Our results suggest that electrical stimulation can be used to assist in the control of blood glucose level in type 2 diabetic patients.

DN is classically understood as a glomerular disease. However, this understanding is currently being contested with recent studies suggesting a pivotal role of the tubulointerstitium in the initiation and progression of DN. We performed a review of the current literature as detailed below. The literature suggests that chronic hyperglycemia may orchestrate several structural and functional abnormalities of the tubulointerstitium before significant glomerular changes.

Extensive infrapopliteal calcification and occlusions, without the presence of collaterals, are common in diabetic patients. When the diabetic patient presents with a nonhealing ulcer, the investigation of first choice should be duplex ultrasound. Ultrasound is not only safe and noninvasive, it also serves to guide further patient management. In a subset of patient in whom intervention is planned, catheter angiogram is the best choice; if the patient has diabetic nephropathy, MR angiogram is an alternative.

Glipizide lowered body weight, BMI, total cholesterol (P < 0.05), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P < 0.01) and MDA levels (P < 0.05). Metformin reduced body weight (P < 0.01), BMI (P < 0.01), LDL-C, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) and improved high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); however, it raised Hcy levels (P < 0.01). Rosiglitazone treatment increased body weight (P < 0.01) and LDL-C (P < 0.01); however, it improved HDL-C (P < 0.01) and decreased sVCAM-1 (P < 0.05) and MDA (P < 0.05) levels.

Despite significant attempts to understand the contributing disease mechanisms for diabetes, there is still no solution for a cure. Investigators are continuously working on strategies for pancreatic transplantation and islet cell replacement. Adult stem cells that appear to be precursors to islet cells and embryonic stem cells that produce insulin seem to have caught the attention of researchers worldwide. However, the universal consensus is that until a therapeutically useful source of human islet cells is developed, a persistent searc...

Half of the interviewed population had some awareness about diabetes and its symptoms. But more than half (75%) of them were not aware of the long term effects of diabetes and diabetic care. The common perception about diet in diabetes was to avoid sweets, rice and fruits and to consume more ragi, millet and wheat chapattis. Diabetes in young adults is common. Relevant knowledge about diabetes is poor in rural population. Hence community level awareness programs have to be organized. Healthcare providers must be aware of community perceptions and practices.

The syndrome encompasses a localized cellulitis with variable swelling and ulceration of the hands to progressive, fulminant hand sepsis, potentially fatal. Since this syndrome is less recognized it is often under-reported. Authors present two cases of TDHS and emphasize on aggressive glycemic control and surgical therapy to prevent potential crippling or fatal complications.

The theme is that time is running out for Africa and that, as was for HIV/AIDS, by the time the governments wake up and stop denying the catastrophic potential of the epidemic, diabetes will simply overwhelm the continent's resources, and the world will witness the death of millions of Africans. The last section is a call for action against diabetes in terms of advocacy, promotion of awareness, and public health policies that empower people to diabetes self-management.

Among different sensibility measures of neuropathy, two-point discrimination (TPD) has been suggested as a reliable method; however, the correlation of TPD with other well-known measures is not known. We measured the loss of protective sensation using Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments (SWMF), hardness of the foot sole using shore meter (sh), power ratio (PR) using pedopowergraph and TPD using esthesiometer in foot areas of both left and right legs in 14 DM subjects. We have found no correlation either between TPD and shore values (sh) or between TPD and PR. The SW...

However, to be effective, oral agents must include a secretogogue i.e. glimeperide in addition to a sensitizer i.e. metformin and not multiple sensitizers without a secretogogue. Moreover, this regimen apparently is also the most preferred by the patients, and is cost effective.
