I don't care about my health any more !

Hi friends,

Heard of this from a friend who was a diabetic for 20 years. I bumped into a woman in a wheel chair in a lift and she look familiar. I realised that she was a long lost friend Shanta K.

We went for a drink and I asked her why she was on a wheelchair. She poured out her despair that she was a diabetic for 20years and has given up hope. Both her parents died of diabetics and her sister is in danger of losing her legs to it. Her legs were swollen due to water retention in view of her poor kidney condition. She has to take 120 units of insulin a day. Her blood sugar was 25 mmol and her doctors has been yelling at her to do something about it.

I recommended her to take Dbethics a plant based supplement to reduce blood sugar level. As she was couldn't hold on to her job due to her condition and survived on social security of US100-00 a month. She was given two boxes of Dbethics compliments from Springwell.

She was advised to take two sachets a day. After two weeks her blood sugar level dropped to 12 mmol. And two days later it dropped further to fasting 9 mmol.

Although she has not fully recovered, she has regained her confidence that there is hope after diabetes.

How a housewife overcome Diabetes !

I am a housewife age 61. I fell on the tarmac (road) while approaching the immigration office. My left knee is wounded and it has been ‘weeping’ for 5 days with no recovery even with the medication I have taken. I am afraid that it will get worse from what it is now. My blood sugar level has been stagnated between 13.0 - 14.4 The doctor has recommended to go onto insulin injections. I was afraid. Since I have taken Dbethics for about 5 days now the wound on my knee has healed and new skin has formed. My blood sugar has reduced by 0.3 as of today. I am continuing the rest of the Dbethics once a day.

I have wonderful news to tell. On 21 Oct, my blood sugar level was 14.4 and today, 12 Nov, it is 7.9 for the first time! A 45% improvement in my glucose level within a month! My husband and I are very very happy and a big thank you for recommending Dbethics. Even my dizziness has reduced. Dbethics works. Please rush me two boxes of supply as I have 3 sachets left.

It’s more than a month on Dbethics. I am relieved that there’s no more dizziness after returning from the market and still able to continue about the daily routine or even after I squat. Nightly I would have my back scratched but now it is not irritable any more. I have also recommended my relatives and friends Dbethics because of the numerous benefits that I have experienced. - Madam Alice

More than 21million American have Diabetes

Let's Unite together to fight Diabetes. We can overcome


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually Scientific America has a lot to say about diabetes. So much so that they just released a Scientific America Special Report: Managing Diabetes.

This Scientific America Special Report focuses on much more than just managing diabetes. They have gone into pretty good detail about every aspect of diabetes. The Scientific America Special Report: Managing Diabetes would be a perfect article for someone who needs a total overview of diabetes which includes the causes and the treatments.

Some of the more alarming facts in the Scientific America Special Report: Managing Diabetes are that in 2005 roughly 7 percent of the American Population had diabetes. That would be about 20.9 million people. Out of that 20.9 million people 6.2 million people were unaware that they even had diabetes.


Unaware? But doesn’t diabetes have telltale symptoms? Diabetes does have certain symptoms associated with it but they can be pretty vague and mistakenly attributed to other things. The most common symptoms of diabetes include:

Frequent Urination
Extreme Thirst and Hunger
Irritability
Fatigue
Blurred Vision
You can see how any one of these common diabetes symptoms can be thought to be caused by some other factor.

American’s need to be educated on the disease of diabetes. Since diabetes is fast becoming an American epidemic people need to be aware of the risks and symptoms the same as they of heart disease and other major diseases seen in the United States.

The only way to do this is by upping diabetes awareness. It will take things like the Scientific America Special Report: Managing Diabetes to start this awareness.

2007 saw a lot of Diabetes Awareness efforts including November being American Diabetes Month. The entire month of November was dedicated to diabetes awareness.

In regards to Diabetes, awareness truly is the key to prevention…Knowledge Is Power!

Knowledge saves lives.

I can save yours too !

Islet of Langerhorns transplant

Islet Cell Transplants Take Another Step Forward

Today Researchers at the University of Minnesota showcased a new, minimally invasive technique to implant islet cells. Islet cells are located in the pancreas and are responsible for producing insulin. Thirty days after the procedure, every one of the thirteen test subjects were producing insulin without any follow-up injections! There were no major complications. Ultimately, doctors hope that the procedure will not require an overnight stay at the hospital.

The procedure uses a steroid-free method of suppressing the bodies immune response and using an ultrasound guidance monitor to inject donor cells through the patient's skin. The access site is then sealed with a newly developed "sandwich technique" where gel foam and coils are applied in layers. Apparently, previous methods had complications arising from how the access site was protected. Unfortunately, the article doesn't elaborate on this point.

Transplants, including those designed specifically for diabetics, have been around for a while. Occasionally, we hear about new techniques for transplants that seem to make the process better.However, there is a huge problem with transplants of any kind, regardless of the technique used: the recipient's immune system must be permanently shut down, or at least permanently weakened or it will destroy the transplant. The only way around this problem that I have heard about is to create a transplantable organ or islet cell which matches the recipient's DNA. Medical science is still going to have to progress a long way before this technique becomes practical.
A friend of mine was a long-term, Type 1 diabetic as I am. But, this friend had to have a kidney transplant, and she got a pancreas transplant at the same time. That was about five years ago.
At first, she was very happy with the results. It was great not to be a diabetic anymore, even though she did have to take, and still does take literal handfuls of immune suppressant drugs.
But after a couple of years, she began to have huge problems with the side effects of the immune suppressant drugs. She now has constant and debilitating colon problems, including diarrhea so bad that she can rarely leave her house. He transplant clinic doctors tell her that she should look on the glass-half-full side and just be thankful for not being a diabetic anymore. But in reality, the side-effects of her immune suppressant drugs have made her a virtual invalid, tied to her bathroom and hiding from anyone who might possibly have any kind of infection such as a cold or flu.
As for me, I say no thanks to an islet cell transplant. At least until the day comes when the transplanted tissue will be invisible to my immune system, and no immune suppressant drugs will be needed.
In my opinion (based on 29 years of being a Type 1 diabetic), if you are careful you can live with Type 1 diabetes. But if your immune system must be crippled by drugs, your quality of life is worse than a diabetic's.



Michael James, I think you're right to focus on the tremendous risks and side effects of transplants. The experience of your friend sounds absolutely horrible. I would hope that no one would ever have to go through something like that.

It's important to distinguish between transplanting a full organ and just islet cells. The latter should be a lot less traumatic on the body. But doctors still haven't found an easily deployable solution. Yet.

There are a few developments that give me hope for the future.

1. I read about researchers that were placing islet cells inside of a semi-permeable membrane. This allowed nutrients to get in and kept attacking cells out. This kind of artificial protection could limit the need for immunosuppressant drugs. Unfortunately I can't find a link to this article now.

2. New drugs may be able to specifically target the immune cells that attack the islet cells. This would be much better than shutting down the whole immune system. It's like the difference between using a 500 ton bomb and a sniper rifle to take out the bad guy. Here's an example.

3. We may find a more plentiful source of stem cells with less risk of rejection. They may come from an animal like a pig (where your insulin probably comes from) or from an immortalized human cell line that is more resistant to rejection.

In the end, it will probably take a combination of artificial protections, more targeted drugs or drug cocktails with micro-doses, and a plentiful source of islet cells so injections can be given more often. We're not there yet, but we're taking strong strides in each of these areas.

Islet transplants may never be the magic bullet, but it may be the big breakthrough before the really big breakthrough, when we can teach the body to stop attacking its own cells. Maybe I'm being too much of an optimist. The pace of technological advancement is accelerating all the time, especially in the field of new materials, and it's hard not to think that in 20 years it will be a completely different landscape.


I'm 66 years old. I had a liver transplant 2 and a half years ago. Since then I've have gained over 65 pounds and am borderline diabetic. The immune suppressants are "doing a number on me." I'm sure they are the cause of my peripheral neuropathy, increased hypertension, skin rashes, diarrhea, non-healing wounds, insomnia, shingles, tendonitis, basal cell carcinoma, nervousness, irritability......Shall I go on? It seems I get almost every bad side effect of the suppressants. I'm waiting for lymphoma which is a side effect I have yet to experience. I'm on rapamune, myfortic, and prograf. I now have Stage 3 kidney disease. I was on dialysis for four months after the original surgery. Is there any help for people like me who seem to experience every negative side effect of these drugs? I feel my life is close to a living hell. Please don't say, "Just be grateful you're alive."

Well John, I can understand some of what you are saying as I too am a kidney transplant receipent. I have gained a huge amount of weight and I became type 2 diabetic which I take two different pills for. My diabetes is under control as that is a daily struggle due to each time they increase my immono's my sugar takes a leap. All I can say is stay encouraged...I have not experienced all of what you have but there have been changes in my body. Me, personally...I would rather keep fighting the tides that be than to have to go back to a life confined to dialysis. Which I was for nearly four years. Lately the most common complaint is twitching in the nerves in my eyes. By the way I take prograf and cellcept. I know they explained some twitching disorders could happen but it is really nerve racking in my eyes. I wear glasses and could wear my contacts if the twitching were not so bad some days.I received my transplant January 20, 2006 so I am still farely new at this. Also because I am a fair skinned African American, the steroids cause me to bruise very easily. Usually the slightest bump causes awful bruises. Even in places I didn't know I could bruise. For a minute my family members thought I was secretly attacking myself...(laughing) All I can say is we must stay encouraged and keep posting comments to keep each other encouraged as you have done for me. After reading your story, here I was getting aggravated by the weight gain,bruising and twitching and compared to what your going through it seems like a drop in the bucket. I pray you find some comfort and relief that works for you.

Hi,

I'm a Type 1 diabetic who received an Islet Cell transplant Jan 2007. I had developed brittle diabetes. I had really looked after myself for 35 years but in the last 5 had become completely unaware of hypos and was having debilitating ones 6-7 times a week. So for me, it was a last ditch attempt of getting my life back.
I still have a few low blood sugars but nothing like before. I can live my life again. Sure, I have to take immune suppressants, but for me, this is minor inconvenience, so far. I still need another top-up transplant and I can't wait to have it. Also the digestive problems I used to have as a result of my diabetes have disappeared since the transplant.
I thank the Drs and nurses at the University of Chicago for letting me into their research program and I advise any Type 1 diabetic who is having great difficulties, specifically with hypo unawareness to consider an Islet cell Transplant as an option.

Juvenile Diabetes Increases

Child Diabetes Rate Increases In Australia
Diabetes rate among children has increased according to an Australian Institute of Health and Welfare study where they showed that the rate jumped from 19 cases for every 100,000 children to 23 cases between 2000 and 2005.

“Over the study period we found 6,000 new cases among zero-to-14-year-olds and we also found a further 6,000 cases in people aged 15 to 39,” AIHW spokeswoman Louise Catanzariti said.

“So it’s important to remember that type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, not just in childhood.”

How I fight Diabetes and win ! by Mary Tyler Moore and David Wells

Mary Tyler Moore, now 70-years-old, has successfully managed her type 1 diabetes for 30 years -- and chose to become an advocate for diabetes research, taking her story all the way from Hollywood to Washington, D.C.

Moore testified before Congress (along with actors Kevin Kline and Jonathan Lipnicki and former astronaut Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13) to call for an increase in funding for diabetes research and support for embryonic stem cell research, which she called "truly life affirming." Also present in the hearing room were about 200 children with diabetes and their families, who were in town for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International Children's Congress

David Wells
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Wells' life changed in early March 2007 when he found out that he had type 2 diabetes. The 43-year-old left-hander, who has battled his weight in the past, probably had high blood sugar for a long time. He was scratched from a start in 2006 due to gout in his right foot, but with the diagnosis he pledged to make healthier lifestyle choices.

As Wells told the San Diego Union-Tribune after his diagnosis: "Obviously, this is a concern, but it's beatable. And I'm going to beat it. It's going to take some lifestyle changes, and I'm already making them."

Americal Idol Randy Jackson Overcomes Diabetes

Randy Jackson
"American Idol" judge and performer Randy Jackson was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2001, when he weighed 360 pounds. "I was in the worse shape of my life," Jackson, now 51, told Newsweek magazine. Even though his father had been diabetic, he thought he just had a cold -- until he went to the doctor and was diagnosed with diabetes.

In addition to treatment with medication, Jackson underwent a gastric bypass operation that reduced his weight to 230 pounds. He has given up the pies and cakes he grew up with as a child in the South. Jackson's diet today includes plenty of vegetables and very few sweets. "Food is for nutrition now," he told Newsweek. He is also helping the American Heart Association get the word out about the heart risks associated with the disease.

Nick Jonas and Delta Burke fights Diabetes

Nick Jonas
Tweenie pop star Nick Jonas announced he had type 1 diabetes earlier this year. The 14-year-old sensation of the Jonas Brothers Band was diagnosed in 2005, after he had many of the common symptoms: sudden weight loss, extreme thirst and irritability.

"For someone who had no bad medical history ever," Jonas told the Web site diabeteshealth.com, "to suddenly have the shock of diabetes was a bit overwhelming in itself, and then I had to learn all about it, learn all these things in such a short period of time. All of it was crazy. I also wondered if I could continue making music ... but I had the support of my friends and the band to be there with me. My dad was back at home with my three other brothers, but my mom stayed at the hospital with me every night."


Now the teen star uses an insulin pump and says that his diabetes is managed well. He advises other teens who have been recently diagnosed on diabeteshealth.com: "Don't let it slow you down at all. I made a promise to myself on the way to the hospital that I wouldn't let this thing slow me down, and I'd just keep moving forward, and that's what I did. Just keep a positive attitude and keep moving forward with it. Don't be discouraged."

Nick Jonas sings, plays guitar and drums in the Jonas Brothers Band with his two older siblings, Kevin and Joe. They grew up in New Jersey -- the children of musicians.

Delta Burke
Delta Burke is best known for her role as the outspoken Suzanne Sugarbaker on the TV show "Designing Women," but she has also become a personality for diabetes information. The stage, screen and film actress -- and the wife of actor Gerald McRaney -- leads the Let's Talk campaign, which sheds light on the importance of managing diabetes through diet and exercise. The campaign moved through a dozen U.S. cities during the summer of 2007.

Burke has lost about 60 pounds, due to her nearly 10-year battle with type 2 diabetes. She began to lose weight so she could play the role of "Truvy" in the Broadway production of Steel Magnolias in 2005, a role that required her to be more slender.

Halle Belle How I overcome Diabetes and give birth to a child

This has been quite a year for Halle Berry.

Not only did the 41-year-old actress achieve a long desired pregnancy, but she stirred up a storm of controversy when she claimed that she had cured herself of type 1 diabetes -- a claim refuted by many doctors and the diabetes community. Berry is the latest example of the many stars, alive and dead, who have waged a battle with diabetes.

Halle Berry struggled with managing her type 1 diabetes throughout her childhood, and then reported a surprise. "I've managed to wean myself off insulin, so now I'd like to put myself in the type 2 category," the Web site contactmusic.com quotes the actress as saying in early November.

Diabetics quickly admonished Berry for her comments and doctors confirmed: It is not possible to "cure" anyone of diabetes. If Berry were truly a type 1 diabetic, it would be suicide to stop taking insulin. She claims that a healthy diet and exercise has changed the course of her illness.

"When someone really has type 1, it means their immune system has destroyed the insulin producing part of the pancreas. In that case, there is no way to wean yourself off insulin," Dr. Francine Kaufman, a diabetes expert at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, told ABC News.

Some 20.8 million people -- 7 percent of the population -- have diabetes, according to the National Institutes of Health. African-Americans, however, are particularly at risk. According to institute statistics, 3.2 million black Americans, or 13.3 percent of all non-Hispanic blacks, have the disease.

Type 2 tends to affect the unfit and obese; 90 percent of all type 2 patients are overweight. Berry, however, was a healthy 22-year-old working on the TV show "Living Dolls" in 1989 when she was first diagnosed, she told the Daily Mail in 2005.

Before she was diagnosed and after becoming ill on the set, she told the paper, she slipped into a diabetic coma for a week.

Berry is currently pregnant with her first child with her boyfriend of two years, Gabriel Aubry.

Halle Belle overcomes Diabetes type I

Since November is American Diabetes Month, the media is spotlighting celebrities with Diabetes in an attempt to show that people, no matter the color, shape or economical status are being affected by diabetes.

ABC News: Stars Battling Diabetes is piece on the ABC News site which spotlights 14 celebrities throughout history which have battled diabetes. The site gives a picture of the celebrity along with a brief history of when they were diagnosed with diabetes.

One celebrity’s story really popped out from the rest… this celebrity claims to have cured type 1 diabetes.

Halle Berry has made claims that she was able to cure herself of type 1 diabetes. How did she do this? By weening herself off of insulin. Gosh, it’s so easy. How did all of those doctors miss the cure? Just ween the patient off of insulin. It makes sense.

Except that type 1 diabetics do not produce insulin and so once you slowly weened down their insulin dose to zero…they would die. Except for that little detail I would say that Halle Berry is onto something here.

So what was the response to Halle Berry’s statement from doctors in this country? Impossible, type 1 diabetes has no cure. It is possible, the doctors say, that Halle Berry actually had type 2 diabetes which a person can overcome. If she was smart enough to figure out how to cure diabetes, wouldn’t she be smart enough to know which type she had? You would think.

Other than the claims of curing type 1 diabetes, the ABC piece was great. It is pretty interesting to find out some of the celebrities which live with diabetes and some of the things that they have done to support awareness of this disease. Some of the celebrities on the list include:

Halle Berry - Self proclaimed diabetes curer
Delta Burke - Leader of the Let’s Talk Campaign
Dick Clark - Strives to raise awareness of the link between diabetes and heart disease
Mary Tyler Moore - Chairperson of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Della Reese - Spokesperson for Glaxo Smith Kline’s Stronger Than Diabetes
Diabetes has been around for a long time but since the year 2000, it has caught the attention of everyone in this country as becoming an epidemic. The purpose of American Diabetes Month is to raise awareness not only about the epidemic we are dealing with but also to show that with education diabetes can be avoided.

Wouldn’t your heart goes out to them, feeling sorry, sad and“… if only I knew of something that I could offer to help..
We take upon ourselves the urgency to write to you today because it is utmost important for you to know about this scientific breakthrough discovery. We promise you would be immensely rewarded. When you fully understand it, You would not want to miss a single day of your life without it.
This new research is specially carried out, executed for people with Diabetes…..
The results, including clinical/field tests has helped people like you…. slowly…. but effectively… reducing blood sugar levels.
Such ADVANTAGES are from plant-based health supplement, Dbethics
1. It helps to lower your blood sugar level and when that happens your body begins to produce more insulin. It means you need less insulin “units” or shots.
2. It helps to improve your condition, it means you are slowly decreasing the risk factors of diabetes, like eye damage, kidney problems, high blood pressure or even heart problem.
3. Most importantly, it means your body is slowly learning to produce insulin on its own again…. and for some people, this has naturally balanced their blood sugar level.
You have asked, “It’s difficult to manage my blood sugar level on daily basis…”
You are right. At least, partially. It means there is hope for you, your loved ones and friends!
A distressing statement often been Enough is enough. I have been relying on medication since….(years)… I am now dependent on it and have been told of the likely side effects that can happen to me…. (sighhh…!)
Frequent question, “What if there is a way to stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin again… a little more on its own each day?”
The ANSWER is that scientists has discovered … that Dbethics can.

Girls with big breasts are more prone to diabetes

Girls with big breasts have a 68 percent higher chance of developing diabetes by middle age than their small-breasted counterparts, according to a new study by Canadian scientists.
#
The decade-long study to find the link between big breasts and diabetes development among nurses in the US shows that those with bigger breasts at the age of 20 are at a higher risk of developing the disease in later years.
Joel Ray, professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and a clinician-scientist at the local St Michael's Hospital, said this was "the broad conclusion" of his research team on the basis on this study.
"Our findings are based on data from the Nurses Health Study II project in 14 American states. In a nutshell, 92,102 nurses were studied for link between their breast size and their chances of developing diabetes by the age of 35. The bigger their breasts are at the age of 20, the bigger their chances of developing diabetes," Ray said.
However, Ray was quick to add that the breast size could be one of the factors, apart from smoking, family history, diet and ethnicity that trigger diabetes in women.
"Obesity remains a big factor. Obese women tend to have larger breasts, thereby becoming more prone to diabetes," he said.
From these findings, he said, it will be interesting to study how breast fat influences insulin resistance.
Ray emphasised that their research was preliminary at this stage and should not be taken at its face value.
Women should not think about breast surgeries to minimise their chances of developing diabetes.
"It is an interesting possibility that needs to be studied before we can say anything," he said.
During the study, he said, it was found that nurses with a family history of diabetes or those who smoked were more prone to developing the disease.
"Out of 92,102 nurses in the decade-long study, 1,844 developed diabetes."
The study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, also showed that big-breasted nurses reported being heavier than others at young ages of five and 10, and entering puberty earlier. Ray said there is a definite link between early puberty among fat girls, insulin resistance and their predisposition to diabetes.
Breast tissue is extremely sensitive to hormones. Since insulin is a hormone, there is resistance to it by breast tissue, he said. A bigger breast means more insulin resistance and more chances of diabetes.
