Yes!! It’s possible to treat diabetes with advanced technology

Image
In spite of its colossal effect, there is still no   remedy for diabetes. Most medicines assist patients with dealing with the indications somewhat, yet diabetics actually face numerous drawn-out unexpected issues. Diabetes is a significant reason for visual impairment, kidney disappointment, coronary episodes, and stroke. The quantity of individuals influenced by a wide range of diabetic problems is presently more than four times higher than only 40 years prior. Diabetes influences the guideline of insulin, a chemical needed for glucose take-up in cells, bringing about significant degrees of glucose. While there are a few similitudes in side effects, the two primary kinds of diabetes create in an unexpected way. Type 1 diabetes is an immune system sickness that annihilates insulin-creating beta-pancreatic cells . Interestingly, patients with type 2 diabetes foster insulin opposition, implying that it has less and less impact on lessening glucose. Insulin permits glucose in our b...

What are the effects of diabetes that occur on our body?

Image
  The word “ diabetes ” is commonly called as “Diabetes mellitus”. It is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar. The main source of energy in our body is “blood glucose” and it comes from food we eat. With diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it does make. When diabetes is detected early, it can be effectively treated. However, if left untreated, it can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and nerve damage, among other things. Normally, your body will break down sugars from meals and utilise them for energy in your cells after you eat or drink. Your pancreas must create the hormone insulin to accomplish this. Insulin aids in the process of sucking sugar from the bloodstream and storing it in the cells as energy. If you have diabetes, your pancreas produces either too little or no insulin. Insulin is unable to be used effectively. As a result, blood glucose levels rise while the rest of your cells go witho...

How the Seaweed helps in Thyroid?

Dates are also highly rich in a variety of nutrients . Some of the nutrients which are present in dates include magnesium and potassium. These nutrients are also a good source of fiber, carbohydrates, and antioxidants. The fibers which are present in dates are used in s...

Bitter Melon help to cure Diabetes! Myth or Fact?

Image
Bitter melon is connected to control the body's glucose which helps in treating diabetes in few cases; As the Bitter melon has properties that act like insulin, which carries glucose into the cells for energy which transforms and winds up in the circulatory system. The utilization of Bitter melon can help cells to use glucose and move it to the liver, muscles, and fat. Bitter melon is not only controlling the blood sugar, it is also used to cure various diseases like Respiratory disorders, Liver tonic, Immune system, Acne, Diabetes, Constipation, Weight loss, Kidney and bladder, Heart disease, Cancer. And it also contains numerous supplements which are helpful for wellbeing. But generally, bitter melon is not a scientifically or medically proven treatment or drug for prediabetes or diabetes and in some cases; it is also viewed as a reciprocal or elective medication for treating diabetes. Beyond this, it can be taken as a healthy diet which rich in vitamins A and C as well as iron...

What is Telemedicine? Does it really support Diabetes Healthcare!

  Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications to support health care. Now a day’s technology is playing a major role in human life, in the same way, to provide an accurate healthcare interpretation in diabetes the telemedicine is very helpful. The main motive of this methodology is to facilitate productive interaction between the patient and the health care provider to achieve improved treatment results and lower treatment costs. This shows how modem technology can be a useful tool for providing effective management of type 1 diabetes. Telemedicine is intervened and communicated with the help of our own devices like cell phones, computers, digital assistants, etc... So it will be easier for a major population in the world. Telemedicine is applied in diabetes to manage the patient health by the healthcare providers in a better and systematic manner, including patient-collected physiological data, such as blood glucose levels, continuous glucose levels, blood pressure, laboratory...

How does Artificial Pancreas treatment work in Diabetes?

Image
The pancreas plays an important role in the human body by keeping the blood sugar levels under control. The pancreas generally works as a transmitter of blood sugar, as the blood sugar rises after eating, and the sugar level in the blood would increase and hence the blood sugar is moved from the bloodstream to the cells with the help of  insulin hormone . The transferred blood sugar in the cells is stored for energy. And whenever the blood sugar levels get decreased, the pancreas release glucagon hormone, which intimates the liver to release the stored sugar into the bloodstream. In this way, the pancreas is one of the major organs for body function and metabolism.     In general,  Type 1 diabetes  patients consist of damaged pancreatic cells that make insulin. Hence they are unable to release the hormone. This is the reason why diabetes patients tend to inject insulin themselves when their blood sugar gets too high. So there is an urge for such medical...

Diabetes and Heart Disease: Myths and Facts!

Image
It is not sure that, every diabetic patient is undergone, heart disease.  Diabetes  is a chronic disease that is caused by high blood glucose levels that result from the body’s inability to produce insulin or inefficiency in response. Poor  metabolism , weaker immune system, and reduced physical inactivity are majorly seen in diabetes patients. It is well known that, in diabetes patients, one of the major complications is Heart disease, but as compared to other complications, diabetic heart disease owns only about 20-30%. As diabetes complications possess 5% more risk of developing  brain stroke , whereas it possesses 30% more risk for developing kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy), 40% more for developing blindness (Retinopathy), and others are for amputation and associated complications. Now we will find out some Myths and facts regarding Diabetic Heart Disease:  ·         If you control diabetes, you are safe at heart h...

Does SARS-CoV-2 overwhelm Early DKD patients?

Image
In diabetic kidney disease patients, there is a weaker immune system and poor metabolic function in the body. Hence the  Strain 2 COVID  deaths were increasing till the day with unknown symptoms. The major reason behind this is, the new strain SARS-CoV-2 uses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for entry into the host cells. Using Bayesian integrative Analysis, a large collection of public-omics datasets identifies the molecular network includes  ACE2 -expressing proximal tubular in diabetic kidney disease. If there is a positive angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in diabetic kidney disease patients, it may overlap with the expression pattern seen in the SARS-CoV-2 infected cells and overwhelm the patient's condition. And the treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with  chronic kidney diseases  is still unclear.      The SARS-CoV-2 virus changes very slowly than the other viruses. This virus transmission can occur through direct ...
