Diabetes Prevention

All those fancy nuts you see at parties may be helping out your heart as well as preventing diabetes. A study was recently released by Louisiana State University describing the effects of tree nuts on inflammation marker C-reactive. C-reactive is often linked with chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Researchers found that people who had a higher consumption of tree nuts such as pistachios, almonds, macadamias, walnuts and cashews were 5 less likely to develop metabolic syndrome, a condition which often elads to more chronic conditions.

Tree nuts have a significant amount of ‘good’ cholesterol. This helps the body to digest food, and metabolize it properly. Buildups of ‘bad’ cholesterols often lead to blocked arteries and heart problems. Researchers were quick to note however, that consuming too many nuts often can cause weight gain, as the body reacts to fats and cholesterol that are only good in small, steady amounts. The recommended intake by diet experts is only a quarter of a cup per day…a perfect mid-afternoon snack.

Two new studies have been published stating that gastric bypass surgery may be a useful new tool in diabetes treatment. The results of the two studies show that the surgery drastically reduces the symptoms of diabetes, or in some patients, it disappears altogether. Doctors are unsure why exactly this surgery works so well for Type 2 diabetes sufferers, but some believe it is due to hormone changes. This surgery is only available for diabetic patients with a body mass index of 35 or higher.

A typical woman has a body mass index between 19 and 25. According to researchers on the study, one diabetic woman who underwent the surgery now only uses 10 milligrams of insulin per day; she was taking nine times that pre-surgery. Unfortunately gastric bypass surgery doesn’t have the same effect on Type 1 diabetics. This is due to their fundamental differences. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune disorder, whereas type 2 is generally a complication of obesity. While the pounds melt off, so do the symptoms of diabetes.

Gastric bypass surgery uses a band to segregate the stomach into two pouches. The doctors then reattach the small intestine to the upper half of the stomach, which is now significantly smaller. Bariatric surgeons typically only perform this type of surgery on someone who is morbidly obese, which is a body mass index or 40 or more. They will also perform gastric bypass on a patient with a body mass index of 35, if they also have a ‘co-morbid condition’ such as diabetes.

If you are not currently accepted for this type of surgery, you will have to control your diabetes using long acting insulins such as Lantus or Levemir. We recommend that you buy anti-diabetes medications online, at a Canadian pharmacy. This will significantly reduce the financial burden caused by a long term disease such as diabetes.

White rice is joining white bread as a contributor to the development of diabetes. According to new research, a eating a significant amount of white rice may raise your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, especially in Asian populations. It is not just the white rice though. Researchers say that the high intake of white rice in Asian populations, combined with modern life’s more sedentary lifestyles, are what is leading to these results.

Researchers believe white rice is creating a high diabetes risk due to its high glycemic index; it has a significantly higher glycemic index than that of most other whole grains, due to its processing. The report also showed that this diabetes risk was also higher in women than in men. According to their calculations, Asians who ate a large amount of white rice were 55% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who ate less. The researchers noted only a 27% higher risk in other racial populations.

Although four studies were done, other scientists are suggesting that a more controlled trial will need to be completed in order for this to be seriously taken into consideration when creating one’s diet.

Lantus is a popular basal, or long acting, insulin used in the treatment of both type 1 and type 1 diabetes mellitus. The diabetes medication is suitable for both adult and pediatric patients with Type 1 diabetes, and for adults with Type 2 diabetes who require long-acting insulin injections to control hyperglycemia.

Lantus long acting insulin has some key benefits: it is used only once daily, it has no pronounced peak; it lowers basal glucose levels for a full 24 hours; and it can be used with oral diabetes medications and/or short-acting insulin for better diabetes control. One of the biggest advantages of Lantus is that, due to its lack of peak, it decreases the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia. Read the full article
