Diabetes cures has been attempted from 20th century only even though it was known to all civilizations right from prehistoric times. U.S.A National diabetes Statistics 2007 explains that diabetes is caused by high levels of blood glucose, called blood sugar. It is due to the defects in insulin production by the body due to pancreatic disorder. It can lead to serious complications but the patients of diabetes can take corrective steps to control the same.
As per the same statistics, 7.8 per cent of U.S population is in the grip of this dreadful malaise. If not controlled, diabetes may lead to complications like diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy and arteriosclerosis. The comfortable lifestyle of the most advanced country on earth (U.S.A) has contributed to the prevalence of this disease. But the silver lining is, slight changes in lifestyle and diet combined with regular check ups and medicine intake, will keep this under control.
The easiest way to control diabetes consists of injecting insulin to lower blood sugar and regulate diet intake. The causes of origin of diabetes are heredity factors, stress as well as viral infections. Insulin injection vials and syringes are easily available with diabetes testing supplies stores all over the country.
James Wells, Ph.D of Cincinnati Children’s hospital, and his team of scientists have identified a master regulator gene for early embryonic development of pancreas and other organs, putting researchers closer to coaxing stem cells into pancreatic cells, for diabetes cures.
One Islet Foundation having bases in various countries is heading for a major breakthrough in transplantation if specially grown pigs’ islets into human beings. Very encouraging results have been reported with the recipients showing absolutely no diabetic symptom for over a year. Further trials are being undertaken with slight changes in anti rejection drugs and transplantation protocols.
Scientists at Bath Israel Deaconess Medical Center(BIDMC) Israel have come out with a theory that by restoring the leptin sensitivity to a tiny area of POMC in brain’s hypothalamus, mice are cured of severe diabetes. This study will help in understanding the role of leptin in regulating the basic reasons behind obesity and control of glucose. This will be a big booster to the Diabetes cures efforts.
Many Medical Journals in U.S.A have recommended that brisk walking for about an hour daily curtails the onset chances of breast cancer by 20%, heart by 30% and diabetes by 50%. The definition of brisk walk was given as 3 to 3.9 miles per hour or per mile 15 to 20 minutes. This is a child’s play for most Americans. Conducting of frequent checks by testing equipments of diabetes testing supplies has to be done diligently.
Bitter Melon (Momordica Charantia) - Bitter Melon, also known as balsam pear, is a tropical vegetable mainly cultivated in Asia, Africa and South America, and has chiefly been used as a remedy for diabetes. The blood sugar reducing action of the fresh juice or extract of the unripe fruit has been proved beyond doubt. It contains Charantin which is a hypoglycemic agent composed of mixed steroids and is more potent than tolbutamide, used in the treatment of diabetes. Thus diabetes cures is progressing rapidly.
