Over the past two decades, the number of people with diabetes in the world has increased dramatically, exceeding 600 million people. Every third person on the planet does not know about their diagnosis, leaving the disease without attention. What steps should be taken to reduce blood sugar to normal levels? - Peter Maina will inform us about it. Peter is an endocrinologist with 27 years of experience.
Peter, good afternoon! Could you, please, tell us a little more about diabetes
Hello, everyone. I could tell you a lot of things, but I'll start with the basics. Diabetes is a chronic disease that causes the level of glucose in the blood to increase. The main symptoms are constant thirst and frequent urination.
Are there any other symptoms?
- Diabetes can be asymptomatic. That is why it is so important to have a regular check-up with a doctor. Besides thirst, there are other signs like:
- tingling in the lower part of the legs;
- visual impairment;
- increased drowsiness;
- fatigue;
- slowed wound healing;
- increase or loss of weight;
- fungal infections;
- frequent urination.
REMEMBER THAT THE NORMAL LEVEL OF FASTING SUGAR IN THE BLOOD IS LESS THAN 6.1 MMOL/L AND AFTER EATING-7.8 MMOL/L
How many types of diabetes are there? How can they be distinguished?
Customarily, there is type I and type II diabetes distinguished in medicine. Type I occurs due to a malfunction in the immune system due to a decrease in insulin production. In type II, the produced insulin is not perceived by the body.
More than a quarter of people with diabetes have the second type. A balanced daily diet, followed recommendations (prescribed by a doctor), and appropriate medications prevent the development of concomitant diseases. Thus, the sugar level will always be normal.
Roughly speaking, who are the targets of the disease??
There are many factors that affect the developmeny of diabetes:
- obesity;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- poor nutrition;
- failure of an immune systems;
- certain medications (for example, contraceptives)
How to control blood sugar levels?
First of all, monitor it. Follow a healthier diet, exercise moderately, and keep a positive attitude to help you cope with the disease more easily, as well as assumptions of corrective medications. That will reduce the disease, so you won't remember you have one.
Is it possible to cure diabetes? What is the medicine?
Unfortunately, if a person gets sick, diabetes will remain with him forever. All medications are selected individually for the patient. Each substance has its own effect.
Incretins — are hormones of the gastrointestinal tract that stimulate the production of insulin by injection. Minuses:
- abdominal discomfort;
- diarrhea;
- vomiting
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are taken orally along with other products that reduce sugar, but their effectiveness is minimal. Minuses:
- vomiting;
- ulcerative colitis;
- gases
Biguanides go with a decrease in insulin resistance, and negatively affect the digestive system. Minuses:
- stomach pain;
- low body temperature;
- change of consciousness;
- vomiting
Glinides stimulate the synthesis of endogenous insulin. The consumption is followed by weight gain. Thiazolidinediones increase insulin sensitivity by affecting adipose tissue, muscles, and the liver. Minuses:
- body swelling;
- high price;
- very slow effect.
So, all medications have a pernicious effect?
Years of research have shown that many active substances in medicines are indeed harmful and have a negative impact on the body. Pills for diabetes constantly affect the internal organs. In addition to the above, relatively high-quality medications are extremely expensive. However, a new product has appeared on the market. It helps to normalise the sugar level without harming your health at an affordable price.
Peter, will you take the lid off?
– It is called Gluconol An organic compound of plant extracts, that not inferiors synthetic formulas, but surpasses them, because it has no side effects..
How does it work?
The main active ingredient is cordyceps, which normalizes the level of glucose when it enters the bloodstream. This and other components:
- normalize sleep;
- stabilize the metabolism;
- tone up the immune system;
- reduce the level of cholesterol;
- keep energized for the hole day.
Gluconol regulates normal blood sugar levels naturally. Thus, making the insulin works. The body stops working at the limit of its capabilities. Even during clinical trials, nine out of ten patients showed improvement after the first week of use
I have used the drug for more than a year in my practice. During this time, the dynamics were solely positive.
Gluconol can be prescribed only by a doctor? Where can man buy it?
Due to the pandemic, the manufacturer temporarily offers products only from the official website. You don't need a recipe for it.
Thank you for the detailed interview. Perhaps, today one of the readers gives some more consideration to the matter of their health.
- Diabetes can be slowed down, the key is to start treatment on time, be ready for changes and lead a healthy lifestyle. Bless you!
