Innovations In Diabetes Care
Bring Patients More Control
by Jean Louis Selam, M.D.
(NAPS)--According to the
American Diabetes Association, at
least a third of Americans will
develop the condition at some
time in their lives. It can't be
cured but it can be managed.
While medicine has improved
the quality of life of people with
diabetes significantly over the
years, the need for some way to
regulate blood sugar remains
unchanged. Researchers are explor-
ipg new pathways to innovative
treatments. For instance, one
research team identified a new link
between heart hormones, insulin
resistance and obesity, which could
signal new treatment options for
those with type 2 diabetes.
Continued insights into the
medical characteristics of the
main groups of people with dia-
betes have unveiled some new
methods that doctors can use to
correctly identify forms of dia-
betes sooner. Armed with these,
doctors can proactively and more
effectively treat once-rare varia-
tions of this condition.
One new treatment is an inhal-
able form of insulin that acts
quickly, so users have greater flex-
ibility in managing blood glucose
fluctuations that often occur after
eating.
This means more spontaneity
A new device makes dealing
with diabetes easier and more
convenient.
2. Less paraphernalia. People
with diabetes don't just carry
around a vial of insulin; there are
syringes, swabs for cleaning injec-
tion sites, and more. Many people
ration these supplies to make sure
the quantities covered by their
health care plans will last. This is
especially important as the esti-
mated medical costs for people
with diabetes are twice as high as
for people without diabetes. With
a supplemental insulin in the dis-
creet form of an inhaler, people
with diabetes can leave more sup-
plies at home and still feel pre-
pared for whatever may come
their way.
3. Faster peak action time and
shorter duration. Social occasions
are often reduced to a game of
"unit roulette" for many people
with diabetes. With little control

The stegosaurus was a large, plant-eating dinosaur that lived about 150
million years ago in what is now the western United States. It had two
rows of bony plates shaped like huge arrowheads sticking out of its back.
