Half of the participants had gastric banding surgery to reduce the size of their stomachs. The other half was treated in the usual way. The people who had surgery lost an average of 21% of their body weight. The other group lost less than 2% on average. Two years after treatment, 73% of those who had surgery (22 out of 29 patients) had blood sugar levels below the number used to diagnose diabetes -- and they were not taking medication! For this group, type 2 diabetes was considered to be "in remission." Only 13% of the group that did not have surgery had a remission at the two-year evaluation. Complications and side effects can occur from surgery. Also, surgery for obesity does not enable obese people t...

As someone that gives myself multiple shots a day, I can’t imagine having to do that with my dog as well. But it does happen. As this article states, many pet owners are diabetics themselves and understand about the disease when it comes to treating their pet. I think I would probably have much more sympathy for a dog that has diabetes now that I’m diabetic too, wouldn’t you?

What a wonderful concept! This will make a difference in so many communities. “It allows us to see the breadth of the severity of the disease by looking at various neighborhoods to see who is at risk, how they are being treated and whether they are being treated,” she said.

We might just have a new type of oral diabetes treatment. It is derived from yeast and yes, that did make me giggle since yeast is in bread and bread is carbs and carbs turns to sugar and… you get my point. It is called glucose tolerance factor, GTF, and is essential in understanding how your body builds a resistance to insulin and can use it an ineffective way at different parts of the day or in differing situations. The results indicate that GTF acts similarly to insulin in the rats, lowering the level of glucose, and of LDL-cholesterol, (the “bad” cholesterol), and raising the level of HDL-cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol). GTF inhibited oxidation processes that can cause atherosclerosis and result in further complications of the ...

It seems that US men have taken it upon themselves to be “screened” and to then follow through on diabetic treatment. In the 1970’s nearly half of diabetic men didn’t know that they had diabetes or even what would have caused it. Now, only one fifth of US men are in that same category. And thank goodness. It is great to see men take responsibility for their health and future. Maybe it is a new generation? Good health and all that goes along with it isn’t looked at as feminine or belittling like it was in the mid 1900’s. Men can be vulnerable and strong! Good job men!!!

The proverbial cure has always been a pill or a shot - just once. Problem solved. Well, if you look at the long list of Type 2 diabetics who have already been cured - it seems a cure will only come one way: the hard way! Google sent me to this page posted by the Alternative Cancer Treatment Centers. The information first explains where Type 2 diabetes derives: a derangement in essential fatty acids. Specifically and statistically speaking - the fact that we consume twice as many Omega 6s as Omega 3s. The Omega 6s have become the main building blocks of the fats in our diets and therefore the fat in our bodies. This seems to be a triggering event for the rising incidences ...

"New! Insulin Cigarettes!" In fact, it's rather more innocuous than that: scientists have engineered a type of insulin-containing tobacco plant that could - in theory, at least - be used as a diabetes treatment. A study has just been completed of its use. Once freeze-dried and broken down into powder, the insulin-containing tobacco leaves were administered to mice. The scientists who came up with the plant (and who are based at the University of Central Florida), found the powder successfully prevented diabetes symptoms in the mice after eight weeks. It seems pretty safe to assume, they speculate, that humans with type 1 diabetes could get similar re...

Here are the key numbers: In 2005, the federal government spent almost eighty billion dollars on diabetes care, writes Linda von Wartburg, reporting on a study commissioned by drug giant Novo Nordisk as part of its "Changing Diabetes" campaign. In fact, one in every eight healthcare dollars - or twelve percent of the budget - was spent on diabetes. Need some more perspective? Well, according to the Novo study, this amounts to more than the entire budget of the Department of Education. Phew.Yes, diabetes care is costing a lot of money. But the ballooning cost of diabetes treatment is only part of the problem. Of... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=734477 Sat, 14 Jul 2007 04:00:00 +0100 734477
