Effects of progestin-only long-acting contraception on metabolic markers in obese women - 0 views

  •  
    Progestin is not a good synthetic progesterone anyways; but this study shows that progestin in obese women in the form of contraception, increases the risk of type II DM.

    low vitamin D linked to increased risk of metabolic syndrome, type II DM, and heart disease.

A blunted cortisol awakening response and hippocampal atrophy in type 2 diabetes mellitus - 0 views

  •  
    Individuals with type II DM, found to have blunted morning cortisol and decreased hippocampal volume.  The hippocampus is the focus of memory.  This is similar to what is found in PTSD.

Supplementation of Vitamin C Reduces Blood Glucose and Improves Glycosylated Hemoglobin... - 0 views

  •  
    Oral vitamin C shown to reduce fast blood glucose, post meal blood glucose, and HgbA1C.  This study was down with metformin.  Vitamin C was used with metformin in those with type II DM.  This supports the use of vitamin C in blood sugar control.  Vitamin C does not increase blood glucose levels.

  •  
    nice article on the epidemiology of type II DM.  Included in the discussion is the point that HgbA1C is now used as the choice for diagnosis: >6.5.

  •  
    alpha lipoic acid improves glucose control in individuals with type II DM.  This study showed decreased lactic acid and pyruvate levels with alpha lipoic acid therapy.  Therapy in this study consisted of ALA of 600 mg twice daily.

  •  
    how inflammation contributes to obesity.  Nice discussion of the inflammatory signaling that leads to obesity.  This occurs predominately in white adipose tissue WAT.  This leads to insulin resistance and type II DM.

Zinc and diabetes--clinical links and molecul... [J Nutr Biochem. 2009] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  • Zinc supplementation of animals and humans has been shown to ameliorate glycemic control in type 1 and 2 diabetes, the two major forms of diabetes mellitus, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have only slowly been elucidated. Zinc seems to exert insulin-like effects by supporting the signal transduction of insulin and by reducing the production of cytokines, which lead to beta-cell death during the inflammatory process in the pancreas in the course of the disease
  •  
    Zn show to help in glycemic control in both type I and II diabetics.  It appears to do this through inflammation reduction and thus improved insulin/Receptor signal transduction.   Also of note, antibodies against Zn transporter have been found in type I DM.

    not sure if I posted this previously, but new study finds that insulin should be the last thing given to a type II diabetic.  Insulin doubles mortality rate.

Oxidative Stress and Stress-Activated Signaling Pathways: A Unifying Hypothesis of Type... - 0 views

  • In patients with diabetes, LA levels are reduced (48, 74, 103). LA has long been used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy in Germany
  • evidence indicates that it increases insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes
  • LA has been shown to 1) quench free radicals, 2) prevent singlet oxygen-induced DNA damage, 3) exhibit chelating activity, 4) reduce lipid peroxidation, 5) increase intracellular glutathione levels, and 6) prevent glycation of serum albumin (73, 74). LA is able to reduce oxidative stress-mediated NF-κB activation in vitro (74, 108, 109) and in patients with type 2 diabetes
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Activation of NF-κB can also be blocked by several other thiol-containing antioxidants including N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC)
  • Other clinically available antioxidants reported to have antiinflammatory, antioncogenic, and/or antiatherogenic properties that have been shown to block the activation of NF-κB include resveratrol (115, 116), (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (117), pycnogenol (118), silymarin (119), and curcumin (120)

    Great read!  If you want to see how free radicals and oxidative stress contribute to inflammation and disease (DM in this case), read this article.

  •  
    Insulin therapy in people with type II diabetes shown to increase complications, cancer, and mortality.  The reason?  Insulin is not the problem.  Treat the cause.  Diabetes can not be properly managed without dietary changes and weight loss.
