A new study suggests

NEW YORK – According to Australian researchers if diabetes is treated aggressively, it can be the guarantee to put off heart problems and deaths better than standard treatment that is used to lower blood sugar.

It was the second large study (as thousands of patients were involved in it) that showed no heart benefit from significantly decreasing blood sugar levels of the diabetics. Experts opined that doctors must follow the suggested aimed levels.

Almost two-third of diabetics die of heart disease. The researchers attempted to push down blood sugar to usual levels to notice whether it protected the hearts of high-risk patients with Type 2 diabetes or not.

A recent study conducted at U-M Cardio protection emphasizes the anti-inflammatory properties of tart cherries, which is better known as the “Red Hot Super Fruit”.The study released by the researchers at ‘University of Michigan’ today at the ‘Experimental Biology Annual Meeting’, shared the possibility of curing the inflammation with the help of the Tart Cherries.

As revealed by the recent studies, Inflammation usually occurs as a result of body’s natural mechanism against any kind of injury or infection however, it cannot be ignored that its chronic state may lead the person prone to various other chronic diseases.

The new study says that the tart cherries may decrease inflammation and even help reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart related diseases in animals.This could be seen as a useful addition to look at the role of diet in managing disease and preventing it.

“Type-2 Diabetes” is primarily responsible for a combination of abnormalities. Type-2 diabetes is a typical body condition in which the body cells are less reactive to the insulin produced by the body. Because of the body is less reactive to the insulin, it is necessary for the body to produce more insulin to maintain the normal metabolism.

Type-2 diabetes normally is not the sole result of the insulin resistance itself. To balance the resistance the pancreas will produce more insulin. The blood sugar levels will be at normal level in most of the people with insulin resistance. In some people, the pancreas fails to compensate the increasing need of insulin. In such cases the blood sugar level increases and this deficiency in the supply of insulin causes ‘type-2 diabetes’.

Type 2 Diabetes can best be understood as a problem arisen because of a considerable gap that is created in body in terms of deficient supply against the demand of insulin. The pancreas cannot cope up with increasing demand of insulin with insulin resistance as it produces too little insulin. The puzzle to be solved is the contribution of overweight for insulin resistance. According to studies fat cells are not just storage sites, it also produce fatty acids and the secretion of proteins such as leptin, resistin and adiponectin which obstructs the secretion and action of insulin in the body.

Levels of the ‘Glycemic Control‘ in the blood differ significantly among the pregnant women with ‘Type1 diabetes‘ and the pregnant women who are suffering from ‘Type 2 diabetes‘.

Researchers revealed these results on the completion of the fist study that involved a continuous monitoring throughout the pregnancy to examine changes in glucose levels.

Apparently, there was no observable difference between the two groups of diabetes types. Critical stage of diabetes however brings up these differences. The women suffering from diabetes had normal glucose levels for an average of only half of the time in a day of 12 hours during the critical stage of early pregnancy. This is an alarming situation according to the researchers.

Dr. Helen R. Murphy at Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust in the UK and colleagues collected and analyzed data from continuous glucose monitoring for 7 days during each trimester of pregnancy in 40 women with ‘Type 1 diabetes’ and 17 women with ‘Type 2 diabetes’ during the study period.

The researchers discovered that as the pregnancies advanced, more time was spent with blood glucose in a normal range of 70 mg/dL to140 mg/dL. Women with ‘Type 2 diabetes’ spent nearly one third more time within a normal glucose range in comparison to the women with ‘Type 1 diabetes’.
