Love Diabetes: What is a better insulin for Diabetes?
Barbara Davis Centers for Childhood Diabetes published a study that found autoimmune diabetes is an allergic reaction to the insulin your body procures. This results in autoreactive T-cells attacking the beta cells reducing insulin and C-peptide production. If you had a child with newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetes or you are an adult with LADA would you choose to treat an allergy to human insulin with a faster acting rDMA synthetic human analogue? A safer, cost effective, complication-reducing insulin choice is on its wayTo SUBSCRIBE to future blogs, please visit: www.alliesvoice.com
Living with Type 2 Diabetes – part 1
Courtesy of www.medstores.net - Patients talk about diagnosis and living with Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes mellitus type 2 -- formerly non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes -- is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. Diabetes is often initially managed by increasing exercise and dietary modification. As the condition progresses, medications may be needed. Unlike type 1 diabetes, there is very little tendency toward ketoacidosis though it is not unknown. One effect that can occur is nonketonic hyperglycemia. Long-term complication from high blood sugar include an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, amputation, and kidney failure.
Would teeth whitening products work on white teeth discoloration from fluoride poisoning?
I suffered from fluoride poisoning from the public water system when I was little, and now as an adult my teeth have bright white splotches on the off-white teeth. I was thinking of whitening my teeth to fix that, but whitening has to be done on the entire tooth, and the spots might become even whiter...
Would teeth whitening products help? Any recommendations or people who've tried this?
Thanks.
Stem Cell Research Could Cure Type1 Diabetes
President Obama has lifted restrictions on federal funding for research on embryonic stem cells, opening the way for potential cures and procedures. Some researchers are already making progress using adult cells as well as stem cells from umbilical cord blood -- uncontroversial because they do not involve destroying embryos. As VOA's Greg Flakus reports from Galveston, Texas, one research team is making progress on a treatment for people suffering from Type 1 diabetes.
How does the measurement of a blood C peptide level help to determine the type of diabetes?
Occasionally an adult or child is diagnosed with diabetes who does not fit the stereotypical picture of the type of diabetes associated with their age group. How does the measurement of a blood C peptide level help to determine the type of diabetes?
