Funding for Research
By editor on March 9, 2008
Besides the National Institutes of Health, the major funders of diabetes research are the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Still, the funds are not enough to support the many new ideas that are submitted for funding purposes. Funds are needed for salaries, for equipment, for supplies, and for the paperwork involved in reporting and sharing the information from investigator to investigator, and from the research centers to the public. Training funds are needed to develop the researchers of tomorrow. By the time a physician or other scientist completes the necessary research preparation, most of the funds have been used up.
For the physician, an offer of a medical practice often takes the place of research work so that he or she can have enough of an income to repay school debts and support the family.
Research training programs need supplies and equipment. Sometimes this equipment needs to be constructed to meet the researchers guidelines (for example, in the case of the implantable artificial pancreas, no equipment was available to proceed with such an idea, so the machine had to be made from the ground up).
To aid research efforts, talk with your legislators and encourage an increase in funding for diabetes research. The ADA can supply you with statistics sheets of diabetes facts and comparisons of funding with other diseases (for example: Diabetes takes 15 percent of the national health dollar while AIDS takes only 3 percent, but AIDS gets 15 percent of the federal research dollars and diabetes gets only 3 percent) that you can present to your congresspersons to help them understand the need for increased funding to eradicate this disease. Support your diabetes association and their fund-raising efforts, and aid them in their efforts to alert the public to the dangers of diabetes and the need for research support.
The need for research into diabetes will be with us until the disease has finally been conquered. At present, education and knowledge are our best weapons. The more you, as an individual, keep yourself fit by following your program, the better able you will be to benefit from new research. And the more you share your ideas on the prevention, cure, or treatment of the disease with health professionals or the diabetes association, the more you will be helping to make diabetes mellitus become a disease of the past.

The Pre-Diabetes Danger
By editor on March 8, 2008
Diabetes is an illness which can destroy the whole health of a person slowly. If a person is not aware of the symptoms and early signs of diabetes then a person can be in a big fight for his life against the mighty disease. Recognizing the symptoms of diabetes is very important because living with diabetes can be proved to be very dangerous and problematic for any kind of person. The diabetes information says that the first stage of diabetes is the pre-diabetic stage. This stage comes in action when the amount of glucose in a person’s bloodstream appears to be higher than the required amount but not as high that a person could be declared as diabetic. This phase in fact does not get detected when a person is diagnosed for diabetes. A person may get diabetic in this phase but that does not means that he is fully stricken to the illness and cannot be cured or controlled. It can be simply reversed using the appropriate drugs and the person’s glucose level in the bloodstream can be reverted back to normal. Sometimes, pre-diabetes is hard to recognize but can be detected if any of the symptoms is seen in the body of the person to diagnosed.

What About Hygiene?
By editor on March 5, 2008
Daily care is one way to prevent sources of infection that lead to the increase of blood-glucose levels in the body. Daily care involves a number of practices. This topic will focus on the practices of daily hygiene. These practices involve dental care, skin care, foot care, eye care, and care related to sexually related activities.
Sexually Related Hygiene
Human sexuality involves the sensual feelings, the reproductive process, gender identification, general cleanliness, prevention of infections in the genital area, and sexual behavior. The genital area can be a source of infection, which can cause blood-glucose elevation. Also, if a person does not feel that he or she is functioning well enough sexually, blood-glucose elevation can occur. Pregnancy under the heading of “Intermediate Complications”) is also a cause of higher blood-glucose levels. Finally, confusion in gender identification may result in stress, which is associated with elevation of blood-glucose.
A person’s mental health can be affected if he or she becomes worried about diabetes-related problems of decreased sexual functioning. Rest assured that this dysfunction or inability to have an erection or orgasm is probably more mental than physical. If you read some information and suspect you may be having such dysfunction, you are likely to focus on performance rather than enjoyment; this focus will then affect your functioning. If you find that your focus is changed to your performance, get some assistance from a therapist accredited by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. If you still have some questions, speak with your health professional. There are specific tests that can aid in determining whether your sexually associated problems are psychological or physical in origin. Most of the time, you will find that no physical problem exists.
Where physical problems do exist, much can now be done with prostheses (silastic implants that are permanently rigid, semirigid, or inflatable) or assistive devices (such as a vacuum pump and a Velcro belt to place at the base of the erect penis or the use of injections), or with hormone or chemical therapy. Women who have loss of libido can be treated with low doses of the male hormone testosterone which stimulates libido. Likewise, men with low testosterone levels can also be treated with it. Women with dryness of the vagina can use a variety of lubricants, the best of which is Aboleneoa water soluble, greaseless, non-irritating lubricant. MUSE (medicated urethral system erection) is a chemical, called a prostyglandin, to be placed as a small suppository in the urethra with the use of a plastic applicator. It works by dilating the arteries and the smooth muscle in the penis. Return blood flow is slowed and/or stopped, and an erection occurs. Couples using this therapy have at least a 65 percent response over those receiving a fake (placebo) suppository.
The newest drug therapy development is Viagra TM. This drug is a blood vessel dilator that dilates the blood vessels all over the body, thus producing such side effects as headache and dizziness. Persons prone to heart attacks should not use this drug, or those who are taking other vessel dilators such as Nitroglycerin, as too much dilation can lead to a heart attack. Viagra TM is taken as a pill, by mouth, in doses of 50 to 150 mg about 1 hour before sex to produce an erection that can last as long as 3 to 4 hours. Viagra TM is currently being tested on women as it may cause clitoral erection and thus increase sensitivity and orgasmic potential or ease. Anecdotal experience suggests that it works in women, but scientific data are not yet available although studies are under way.
If a problem is suspected and you feel uncomfortable in bringing up the subject of sexual discomfort (some women may feel discomfort with intercourse from having a dry vaginal area due to hyperglycemia or to aging) or performance, write it down and present the problem in written form. If you discuss such problems, you will find that the information will be handled confidentially, as any other body function would be discussed. If other health professionals or students are in the room, ask to speak to the doctor privately. Describe what you think is happening. Your health professional knows what questions to ask to assist you in finding the best solution to the problem, if one is found to exist.
For any treatment, the health professional will take into account your own beliefs and attitudes, your physical developmental history, and whether you see yourself in the male or female role. He or she can either assist you in making changes or offer an appropriate referral.
Your participation in all hygiene measures and your early reporting of any infection or injury will help the health team to keep you in the best possible physical condition. The result will be that you will feel better about yourself and about your health.

Diabetes and Troglitazone
By editor on February 25, 2008
Troglizatone is a new oral anti-hyperglycemic agent that acts to decrease insulin resistance. Its complete action is unknown, but it is thought to stimulate the production of a protein involved in the transport of sugar through the cell mem, brane from the blood to the interior of the cell for use. It takes 3 to 6 weeks for the medicine to have much effect on the blood,glucose level and may take as much as 12 weeks for it to have its full effect. The medicine is taken with food to enhance its absorption. It can be taken with any meal but needs to be taken only once a day. It is absorbed in 2 to 3 hours and may be taken at any meal. If it is missed at the usual meal, it may be taken at the next meal. If it is missed on one day, it should not be doubled the next day. More than 85 percent of the medicine’s waste products are removed through the intestinal tract, and only a little over 3 percent is released through the urine. It is not recommended for pregnant or breast feeding women or people with severe heart disease. It is recommended for persons with Type 2 diabetes. In the future, it will be used alone or with other oral agents, but it has not yet been approved for this use. It may be used alone or with other oral anti,diabetes drugs or with insulin. A person would start with 200 mg once daily with a meal. After 2 to 4 weeks, the dose may be increased to 400 mg (usual dose) or later up to the maximum dose of 600 mg. If the person is already on insulin, it is recommended that after Rezulin is started, insulin may be decreased to 10 to 25 percent or more when fasting blood sugars are less than 120 mg/dl (7 mmol). One value of this drug is that it is remarkably free of side effects, even at maximal doses.
There has been a lot of publicity recently about this drug. Newspapers, TV, and radio have publicized the dangers, and some have petitioned the FDA to recall the medication. Most of these people are not aware of the grave dangers of diabetes so they do not balance the benefits versus the dangers. The danger that has been publicized is possible damage to the liver. There have been 33 deaths from liver disease attributed to this drug over a three,year period.
There are several million people taking the drug so the possibility of fatal liver disease is very small compared with the dangers of poor blood sugar control. All of these deaths occurred early in the use of the drug when patients were not being monitored for this problem. Indeed many of the people who developed liver disease and died had liver disease prior to taking the drug so they should not have been started on it. Since this information became available over a year ago, we have been monitoring patients carefully, and no deaths have occurred since. The liver damage from the drug is rare, and when picked up early and the drug is stopped, it is reversible. The information made public recently in the lay press was over a year old and had been corrected by the medical profession and the company. This type of late press and presenting only a year old story without check, ing on the more recent facts is irresponsible and unfair to the people who need and are doing well on the drug ( and have been monitored properly). Monitoring is by a simple blood test to measure the transaminase enzymes. These enzymes should be measured before starting the drug, monthly for the first 8 months of therapy, then every 2 months, and then at every regular doctor visit. If this is done, there is little or no danger from this drug. It is a highly effective drug and has vastly improved diabetes control in thousands of patients and should continue to be used. Be sure, though, if you are taking the drug that your doctor is monitoring your enzyme levels and that the drug is stopped if they begin to rise.
