Among the main benefits of cinnamon for diabetes, it is considered that might be able to:
- Improve the ability to regulate blood sugar
- Improve the effectiveness of insulin

But not everything that glitters is gold. And not only patients seek new ways to fight diabetes. Many researchers interested in this topic also thought that cinnamon could be an effective option and tried to find reliable data to confirm these assertions allow to use it as a treatment in a medical office, as well as herbs and food supplements do not require rigorous studies that are submitted to the drugs. So designed scientific studies necessary.

Unfortunately, the results of scientific studies to date are similar to those assertions, while research showed that half teaspoon of cinnamon a day could help some patients with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar levels, and bad cholesterol (LDL) and total cholesterol, several other studies have found that cinnamon caused no reaction and diabetes followed exactly the same.

Several studies try to identify the benefits that cinnamon can bring to health. Some believe it could help lower high blood sugar and provide other health benefits. If so, cinnamon might be a natural medicine for diabetes. Here we have scientific studies to date and more details about cinnamon and diabetes.

After learning he had diabetes, Juan began to seek alternatives that will help to combat excess sugar in your blood in order to continue to eat pasta that is so fond and desserts that you are passionate. Then someone told him that cinnamon helps lower glucose levels in the blood, and John immediately began to include it in your diet. But does it really work? Read the rest of this entry »

Recognize the Result

For Dr. Rios Torres is important that people have an early diagnosis due to various reasons, one of them is the ability to timely identify people with impaired glucose tolerance, because in this way is possible to focus on prevention measures halt the progression of the disease and therefore its consequences.

Another is to monitor individuals with risk factors such as people with obesity or a family history of diabetes, and even noted that in these circumstances “would be highly desirable fasting glucose measured at least once a year, also in the case of women with a macrosomic child or gestational diabetes (increased sugar during pregnancy due to hormonal factors that create changes in insulin secretion). ” Read the rest of this entry »

Types of Diagnosis

According to specialized physicians, graduated from the University of Texas (USA), there are three tests that measure the presence of sugar or glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia), which, besides having different methodologies used in different circumstances.

Explains that “the first diagnosis, and one of the most frequently performed, is known as random blood glucose, consisting of an analysis of a blood sample taken at any time of day and in every condition, so it is said which takes place at random. ” Read the rest of this entry »

Many people have diabetes and do not know, so that damage to your body move in silence until they are too significant and affect various organs. This situation may change as the population at risk is subject to timely diagnosis of glucose.

Diabetes is a chronic (lifelong), is characterized by insufficient or absent secretion of the hormone insulin, a fact that generates excessive accumulation of glucose in the blood and damage to many structures within the body, is very common worldwide and it is estimated that 10% of Mexico’s population suffers from it.

Exercise and fun

Taking a few precautions, there is no reason to prevent those affected with diabetes physical activity, in fact, many patients practice different sports, but as prevention is recommended to have at their disposal liquid sugar can occur if glucose reduction below normal levels, then it must be remembered that exercise decreases the amount of the substance in the body.

On the other hand, consider that diabetes is no reason to interfere with or limit travel, as long as they follow some specific recommendations to make to very remote places, for example, sure you can get insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents and if you see private supply, do not store all medications in your suitcase, because there are times when you are lost, and carry card or bracelet stating that you have the disease.

If you are newly diagnosed with diabetes, you should know that this does not mean you can not continue with their daily activities. On the contrary, millions of people suffer from this condition and lead a normal life, thanks to its adherence to treatment.

Diabetes has no cure, and control is the responsibility of the patient, who must understand that treatment against lifelong illness, so it is essential not to neglect the administration of hypoglycemic agents (drugs that lower blood glucose levels) and / or insulin (responsible for transporting the sugar consumed in the liver and muscles), exercise and follow a special diet.

This condition occurs when the amount of glucose or blood sugar exceeds the normal (120 milligrams per deciliter), which occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin (type 1), or, if the substance is generated to a lesser extent and the body’s response to it is diminished (type 2).

Diagnosis

The patient is subjected to an interrogation to identify the symptoms described above.

It takes blood and urine analysis.

In some cases, the patient must undergo a blood test class called “proof of an oral glucose tolerance, which involves obtaining a fasting blood sample to measure the value of sugar. Then you are given a special solution that contains a standard amount of glucose. During the next 3 hours new samples are obtained. This test is mainly to pregnant women.

Experts believe that a person has diabetes if their fasting glucose levels are higher than 126 milligrams per deciliter of blood. Read the rest of this entry »

Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome characterized by excessive accumulation of glucose in the blood due to a deterioration in all or part of the secretion and action of the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas and responsible for maintaining normal blood sugar levels. If left unchecked can lead to complications such as blindness, renal and vascular damage and leg amputations.

There are two subtypes of the disease:

Type 1 diabetes. Develops in people in the production of insulin, a hormone responsible for transporting glucose into cells throughout the body is weak or nonexistent. Most patients with this condition develop it before age 30. Read the rest of this entry »

In 1902, the new independent Cuba, the rapporteur of the bill for the formation of the Secretariat of Health and Welfare, José Angel Malberty and Delgado, fits these theories into three groups in his excellent doctoral thesis, namely:

1 .- Those that do rely on persistent hyperglycemia digestive disturbances and its annexes.
- Theory of Bouchardat. Diabetes is caused by pathological condition of the digestive tract.
- Theory Pancreática.Origen pancreatic disease, failing to reconcile the preservation of exocrine pancreatic functions with endocrine dysfunction, Malberty discarded wrongly held by the successful Lancereaux theory, Popper and others.
2 .- Other causes of hyperglycemia consider the matter overproduction of glycogen. Are hematogenous theory, myogenic, the histogenetic and motor vessel or nerve.
3 .- reflecting a lack of utilization of sugar by the body are normal Theories Mialhe, Reynoso and De Chambre, Cantani, Weiss and Dock and Bouchard.
Based on research of Claude Bernard, discard the first group and presents the discussion among themselves the cause is an excessive production of glucose or a failure to use it.

Analyzing both, and concluded that there is a lack of assimilation because of the normal glucose homeostasis, its almost constant production and release into the blood. Similarly, it recognizes that there is far to “find the true element pathology of diabetes mellitus.” Know what might be the ultimate cause and attributed to a general disturbance of nutrition and concludes: “Diabetes mellitus is the result of the impairment of intracellular molecular renewal, ie the weakening of the ability asimilatriz, the anatomical element Live necessary to use glucose and must in our view, as I said, look for the pathogenesis of this disease in the system that presides, governs and directs the function of any living organic element tends to be used, to assimilate all that you need for natural conservation in proportion to what they already used, transformed or destroyed, returned to the bloodstream for purification. “
