Diabetic neuropathic pain: a role for testosterone metabolites - 0 views

  •  
    Great article.  Really shows the depth of the androgens and androgen metabolites in diabetes and diabetic complications.  In this study, DHT and its metabolis 3-alpha androstanediol were shown to reduce inflammation and pain associated with diabetic neuropathy.  Significant reduction in inflammation signaling (IL-1beta, TNF-alpha) was seen as was potential neurodegenerative processes (glutamate release and astrocyte immunoreactivity).

Mortality and Other Important Diabetes-Related Outcomes With Insulin vs Other Antihyper... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    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.

ScienceDirect - Food and Chemical Toxicology : Neuroprotective effect of ginger on anti... - 0 views

  • A marked decrease in anti-oxidant marker enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), reduced glutathione (GSH) and increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) was observed in the diabetic rats
  • inger may be used as therapeutic agent in preventing complications in diabetic patients.
  • These results suggest that ginger exhibit a neuroprotective effect by accelerating brain anti-oxidant defense mechanisms and down regulating the MDA levels to the normal levels in the diabetic rats

Fructosamine and glycated albumin for risk stratification and prediction of incident di... - 0 views

  •  
    Fructosamine and glycated albumin shown to correlate with diabetes and associated microvascular complications.  These biomarkers would compare to HgbA1C diagnostically, but their interval of glycemic evaluation would be less i.e.2-4 weeks versus 3 months with HgbA1c.

  •  
    Case report of 3 cases finds improvement in diabetic foot complications, including neuropathy, in men treated with Testosterone.  This makes sense as the Testosterone will improve insulin function, improve HgbA1c and reduce inflammation in these men.

    In a study of Jordanian men, low Diabetes is clearly associated with low Testosterone.  The study found a 24.3% incidence based on lab testing and a 19.8% incidence based on symptoms.

Insulin and Sympathoexcitation: It Is Not All in Your Head - 0 views

  •  
    Insulin has a stimulatory effect on the sympathetic system resulting in elevated B/P.  There is a movement by some to put every diabetic on insulin early.  This is seriously flawed and will only contribute to further complications.

Arch Intern Med -- Abstract: The Progressive Cost of Complications in Type 2 Diabetes M... - 0 views

  • Per-person costs increased over baseline ($2033) by more than 50% ($1087) after initiation of cardiovascular drug therapy and/or use of a cardiologist, and by 360% ($7352) after a major cardiovascular event. Abnormal renal function increased diabetes treatment costs by 65% ($1337); advanced renal disease, by 195% ($3979); and end-stage renal disease, by 771% ($15,675)

ScienceDirect - Journal of Diabetes and its Complications : Starvation diet and very-lo... - 0 views

  • The metabolic situation in extremely low-calorie diets may be comparable to that in starvation
  • increased insulin resistance in states of starvation and anorexia nervosa, with a concomitant role in stress hormones.
  •  
    very-low-calorie diets, like found in the HCG diet, results in insulin resistance in many individuals, results in muscle mass loss, and results in many negative effects, including weight gain.
