Endocrinologist - about four simple rules that will protect you about diabetes
Before getting a daily injection of insulin, a person with diabetes must first have a blood glucose test. This is an obligatory ritual, you cannot do without it.
It is impossible to get used to punctured fingers, and this is a lifelong situation.
Here you also sympathize with adults, because this is definitely not sugar. But how hard it is to watch young children prick their fingers and then inject insulin. Now, of course, insulin pumps have appeared, but they are not available to everyone and their consumables are expensive.
The logical question is - Why hasn't anyone yet come up with insulin pills that would make the lives of millions of people so much easier?
Alas, there are many attempts, but they were all unsuccessful, because the insulin molecule is simply digested in our digestive tract and does not work the way insulin should.
Breakthrough new remedy
But recently I read the news that patented remedy, which is able to protect the insulin molecule from the harmful effects of intestinal enzymes. Moreover, this method can be used for all other hormones, which now exist only in the form of injections.
If it really works then it will be a real revolution. The quality of life will improve so much that Hollywood scriptwriters will have to exclude them from the action films a constantly repeated story, as the main character is looking for a child of ampoules of perishable insulin. Convenient pills will replace them.
How to lower your risk of diabetes
But no matter what revolution in pharmacology there is, it is better not to have diabetes. Reduce risks. Even if genetic analysis shows a high threat of this disease, type 2 diabetes can be avoided:
- if you maintain a normal weight,
- eat properly,
- monitor the health of the pancreas,
- do not ignore physical education.
