			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diabetes Mellitus is a disease related to the impaired glucose tolerance of the body, insulin functioning is affected. Symptoms of diabetes can be excessive thirst, excessive hunger or excessive / frequent urination. Diabetes Mellitus can be of Type 1 or Type 2 or pancreatic diabetes or gestational diabetes.</p>
<p>According to Ayurveda, diabetes is a metabolic kapha type of disorder in which reduced implementation of Agni leads to a inclination toward elevated blood sugar. (Ayurveda recognizes 24 forms of the disease commonly classified under Prameha – 4 are due to Vata dosha, 6 are due to Pitta dosha, and 10 are caused by Kapha dosha. The chief causes of diseases are fat, urine, and Kapha build-ups due to foods, liquids, lifestyle and others.) Ayurvedic practitioners attack diabetes using a multiprong approach.</p>
<p>Some other methods of avoiding diabetes</p>
<p>- Exercise<br />
- Oil massage<br />
- Use of dry ginger and cardamom while taking bath<br />
- Drinking water which is preserved in a copper vessel overnight.</p>
<p>Essential points to remember related to ayurveda</p>
<p>- You should always use proper spices and oils.<br />
- You should eat herbal preparations to improve your digestion<br />
- You should maintain a difference between your meals like breakfast, lunch and dinner<br />
- You should follow a balanced and healthy diet.<br />
- You should also follow the non dietary regiments like Yoga, breathing exercises, and asanas.</p>
<p>Also, follow the kapha-mollifying diet. Evade excess intake of  sweets, carbohydrates, and dairy products. Take more fresh vegetables  and bitter herbs. Other useful foods include: roasted or fried barley,  corn flour, light, bitter vegetables, barley porridge, ghee, rice, and  herbs like gokshura, gudmar, triphala, musta, cardamom, fenugreek, or  coriander, mixed with honey. Triphala with amalaki juice can also be  used to heal prameha. Barley is the main food to heal urinary diseases.  Other ayurvedic methods to cure prameha (diabetes) include arduous  exercises, oil massage, steam, sitz or waist bath, and sprinkling of  water and ointment. Dry ginger, cardamom, and sandalwood may be used in  baths or taken orally. Gudmar is the best herb for digesting sugar in  the pancreas. A combination of gudmar and shilajit is an excellent  remedy too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In health care system, the reason for the diabetic is excessive fat. When the sugar in the excessive fat is not absorbed vry well then it will be harmful to our body. To control this in our body secretes enzymes, which will control the sugar level in the blood. Because of some reason, if there is any fault in the secretion of enzyme then our body(blood) sugar is increase and the sugar level of the blood is also increase. And the person becomes diabetic.<br />
Now we are going to see here what food should take the diabetic person and what should not. Diabetes affect differently with different people. This is vary person to person.

Salty snack foods</p>
<p>What to Eat?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diabetes has made its mark in the medical world as a disease that  demands utmost attention from medical experts in health preservation.  With the prevalence of diabetes continuing to grow each year the world  over, intentional actions have had to be made through diabetology  studies to ensure that populations are able to adequately deal with  diabetes and if possible, avoid it altogether.</p>
<p>Diabetology Studies:</p>
<p>Diabetology as a clinical science has paved the way for great  milestones to be taken as far as the diagnosis, treatment and follow up  of diabetic patients is concerned. Diabetologists are able to carry out  the lab tests that are required to monitor the progress of diabetic  patients. This can be done separately for each patient, so that they can  get adequate treatment that is unique to their condition and as a  result, long term complications can be avoided.</p>
<p>Diabetes in the UK</p>
<p>In the UK, health experts agree that the number of people with  diabetes has continued to grow significantly. Between 1996 and 2010, the  number of people diagnosed with diabetes grew from 1.4 million to 2.6  million. Predictions indicate  that by 2025, over 4 million people in the UK will suffer from diabetes.  This is attributed to increase in obesity as well as the population  distribution showing a growing number of aged individuals.</p>
<p>Diabetology UK</p>
<p>However, diabetology in the UK has seen a number of breakthroughs in  the management of diabetes, the most significant having been the  introduction of the ‘capsulin’ which is an oral insulin pill that was  launched in December of 2007. Previously, diabetic patients had to have  their insulin medication injected, which proved to be problematic for  those who either had needle phobia or serious trouble injecting.</p>
<p>Diabetes in India</p>
<p>India has in the past suffered very little in comparison to most  other countries as a result of diabetes. The low prevalence rate has  been quite intriguing, given the sedentary lifestyles, faulty diet and  high stress levels inherent in the Indian population, which are all  definitive of populations that suffer from the disease. However, it  seems that India is running out of luck, since experts predict that by  2030, 87 million people in India will suffer from diabetes.</p>
<p>Diabetology India:</p>
<p>India has not made as much progress in diabetology in comparison to  the first world. Whereas diabetes in the UK is treated primarily by  family doctors, the hospital system is the only option for most Indian  diabetic patients to seek treatment. Efforts are underway to familiarize  doctors and consultants with trials that are being carried out by  private international diabetology experts. These clinical research  experts also conduct training to courses to make information on diabetes available to medical practitioners as well as the population in general.</p>
<p>Conclusion:</p>
<p>Diabetology studies are a necessary tool that will aid populations in  first, second and third-world countries to adequately deal with  diabetes. Prevention is indeed a less costly preference to cure, and  equipping people with knowledge through diabetology studies will go a  long way in making this a reality.</p>
<p>Veeda’s units in the UK and India have performed a number of studies  in diabetic patient populations. Veeda is familiar with a wide range of <a href="http://www.veedacr.com/Diabetology.asp">diabetology studies</a> including euglycaemic and hyperglycaemic glucose clamping and assays  such as insulin and glucagon, DPP inhibition and other enzymatic assays.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s post is coming at you very late at night because of some  hosting and WordPress issues that I was having, but it seems that  everything has been settled, let’s hope.  My post for today is to speak  about diabetes education in America.  The main part that I want to focus  on is the lack of diabetes education that is out there.  I have written  about diabetes education in the past and still feel strongly about the  need for it.  Tomorrow, I have a special guest post from Hope Warshaw  with more information about diabetes education.</p>
<p>Here is my thought on diabetes education.  How do we expect people  with diabetes or who may be at risk for diabetes to change their  lifestyles for a healthier life if they don’t know what they are to do?   When somebody is rushed to the ER when they are first diagnosed they  get hit with so much information and then may have one or two follow up  visits with a diabetes educator.  And then that’s it.  Maybe their  insurance doesn’t pay for it, or they don’t have any insurance at all,  or they can’t afford to go see a dietician or psychologist or any other  form of diabetes educator.  How are they supposed to make the decisions  that they need.</p>
<p>One simple way is by providing easier access to this diabetes  education.  The hard part is, how do we do this?  How do we get  insurance companies to cover the costs of dietician visits or diabetes  educator visits.  But what if your insurance does cover a Certified  Diabetes Educator, but you can’t get an appointment for 6 months because  there is only one CDE in your area and they are booked.  Guess your  health just has to go on a 6 month long vacation right?  Uhhh…I don’t  think so.</p>
<p>Some of the best diabetes education I ever received in my life came  from a non-CDE, just a diabetes educator in general.  Of course there  needs to be guidelines, you can’t just have any Joe Schmoe off the  street coming in and giving diabetes education, but there just has to be  a way that somebody who can provided information about diabetes is  allowed to.  How do we do this?  I don’t know exactly.</p>
<p>This is exactly why I am looking for help from people out here.  I am  interested in forming some sort of diabetes education advocates group.   I tweeted tonight about what we can do more for advocacy and one idea  that I mentioned was that, it’s great to have as many people advocating  as possible, but I think that if there were certain groups of people  with more of a passion about one aspect than the other, more can be  accomplished this way.</p>
<p>If you are interested in joining some sort of weekly, bi-weekly, monthly chat, Skype call, anything, please let me know.</p>
<p>Remember, tomorrow Hope Warshaw.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sixuntilme.com/blog-mt2/blog_images/2010June/when-can-she-fly.gif" border="0" alt="I just want to get these motherferning lows off this motherferning plane." hspace="2" vspace="2" width="215" height="189" align="right" />Yesterday morning, I boarded my flight at 7:15 am.  (Which means I was up at 4 am, and then crossed into the strange time-space continuum into the Pacific time zone, which means I am bleary-eyed and totally confused about what time it actually is right now).   Since it was such an early flight and since I&#8217;m trying my hardest to avoid taking medication to fly, I decided to take this trip without my trusty xanax prescription.*</p>
<p><em>*  It&#8217;s in my bag, but I&#8217;m not planning on using it.  It&#8217;s only if I  have a wicked panic attack or something before the flight. </em></p>
<p>With the Dexcom plugged in and doing its thing, I felt pretty on top of the diabetes crap.  My blood sugars were holding in a nice pattern of the low 100&#8217;s, and my snacks were heavy on the protein side, so I wasn&#8217;t anticipating any serious issues.</p>
<p>About three hours into the flight, I noticed that the music piping through my headphones sounded off.  I couldn&#8217;t put my finger on what the issue was, but there was something decidedly swimmy about the sounds.  Then I felt a vibration near my foot &#8211; the Dexcom wailing and twitching inside of my purse.  I reached down and retrieved the little football-shaped receiver to see a &#8220;LOW &#8211; Under 55 mg/dl&#8221; on the screen.</p>
<p>Five minutes passed and I still felt horrendous.  My meter flashed me a 48 mg/dl.   I needed a liquid solution to work through this low.  So I got up from my seat and went back to where the flight attendants were sitting.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sure thing.&#8221;  She reached for a plastic cup and started to fill it with ice.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not a problem.&#8221;  She handed me the aluminum can of orange juice and I chugged half of it down without breathing.</p>
<p>&#8220;You okay?  Do you need to sit down?&#8221;</p>
<p>And I went back to my seat, plugged my headphones in, and listened to some music while my blood sugar started to rise.  A few minutes later, I noticed the stewardess was kneeling by my seat.   I took my headphones out.  &#8220;Hi again!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Much better, thanks.&#8221;</p>
<p>I laughed to myself.   &#8220;One of you guys.&#8221;</p>
