The Hopes Attached to Diabetes research The Hopes Attached to Diabetes research

One of the major challenges with diabetes as a disease is that it is so widely spread. Too many people across the globe are affected by diabetes. Unfortunately there still are many aspects of the condition that are not fully understood and this creates challenges for the diabetes suffere as well as researchers alike. Because so many people are diagnosed with diabetes, it has increased the urgency to speed up and prioritize the research, which I think is really important. However, it still appears to be challenging to many to fully understand the condition. There are a number of organizations worldwide who are pouring a significant amount of time, effort and money into the necessary research. The aim for all involved parties would have to be to find a feasible solution to treat diabetes effectively.

 

There is A lot of research is done across the globe

 

It truly is heartening to know that indeed a huge number of groups and organizations as well as individuals are involved and working hard to find solutions and cures. These include the FDA, Juvenile Diabetes research foundation, the diabetes research and education foundation (DAREF) the diabetes research foundation, the diabetes research institute as well as the diabetes research and wellness foundation. There are many more but I think it should give you an idea that there is a lot of good work produced. And all of us, whether we’ve been diagnosed with the disease or not, should be happy and proud the results these individuals are delivering.

 

Research is done on different approaches and levels to combat and hopefully make diabetes a disease of the past. Researchers are looking a vaccinations to fight the autoimmune response that results in type 1 diabetes. Currently there are some animal test conducted to be able to get a clearer picture on who the immune system is reacting to this new approach. More research and testing is done with the aim to make the liver produce insulin, by genetic engineering. Some researchers are looking into stem cell creation, stem cells are very important building bocks in the human body, with the ability to recreate different cells in a weakened body. Many of us obviously hold high hopes  for these researchers to succeed in their vision. The stem cell approach could support the production of cells that are able to produce insulin and therefore replace the damaged cell in the pancreas.

 

Other areas on which such research is being conducted include immunoassay for type 1 diabetes, studying what the effects of exercise training have on people affected by diabetes, and many more in that will hopefully help cure this dreaded disease.

 

It is a well known fact that cinnamon is helping to reduce the blood sugar levels in your body. Cinnamon constrains the enzymes that are linked to the body becoming insulin resistant.

As an alternative to having to inject insulin into your body, researchers are also looking at the alternative of insulin inhalation.

I’ve had rising blood sugar for a number of years - tried to control it with diet and exercise, lots of natural stuff - such a cinnamon, and other natropathic products.

But I have a genetic disposition to the condition - I’m not overweight, it’s just a family history.

So finally had another test, found the levels were around 16.4 m/mol fasting - and started the tablets last night.

Oh well, all good… Continue reading

I’d like to clarify a few things about the condition of diabetes as a health condition upfront.

Diabetes as a health condition is considered as a chronic disease. The body lacks the ability to generate insulin and break down glucose in the blood. To put it differently again a person diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t have enough insulin in their body –this is why their diagnosed as being diabetic. In a… Continue reading

Dear all,

Now here’s something to really think about long and hard and then take massive action. Because as we all know, taking action is the only thing that changes a situation. Thinking about it and doing research is very important too however, if there is the slightest inkling that you could be in danger of being diagnosed with diabetes at some stage in your life, follow… Continue reading
