Although we have a substantial knowledge of how to treat all types of diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one million new cases of diabetes type 2 are diagnosed each year.
So, what is wrong? Why all these new cases are taking place if we know how prevent prediabetic symptoms from becoming full-blown diabetes? Several reasons.
Once sugar level goes up in the blood after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin. But when insulin reaches the bloodstream, certain enzymes start to break it down, destroying the insulin necessary for sugar control. The good news, however, is that scientists have discovered a way to stop this breakdown, leaving more insulin available to control blood sugar levels in diabetes type 2.
When it comes to losing weight, there is a difference on how two types of fat found in our body, white and brown, behave. White fat contributes to obesity and type 2 diabetes; brown fat burns calories.
Based on these facts, it seems reasonable to wish all our white fat were brown so we could burn more calories. Well, a new study shows that scientists are getting close to convert white fat into brown fat in humans.
Although a healthy diet along with exercise is by far the best way to lose weight and prevent or manage diabetes type 2, many people find it difficult to follow this path. Not only this causes people to get quite frustrated with their weight, but excessive weight gain can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes type 2.
For people in this situation, bariatric surgery seems to be an option. In fact, health researchers are studying the possibility of performing weight loss surgery in people with type 2 diabetes who are overweight but not obese.
One more time, researchers have their sight set on magnesium deficiencies as it seems they are one of the many causes of complications in people with diabetes type 2.
The new study conducted by a team of Brazilian researchers shows that the reason why a deficiency of magnesium may cause complications in diabetics is because it causes high blood sugar and low levels of insulin.
Every country is trying to combat with COVID-19 according to its resources. Politicians, doctors, scientists and economy experts are trying to find a perfect mix which can work well in this situation. Some countries are acting smartly. Along with these efforts, they are also observing the conditions of other countries to improvise their policies.
