They should be an orientation help in defining the necessary and the superfluous in the care of diabetics. The guidelines thus support the implementation of the Health Care Structure Act of 2000 laid down guidelines by which the utility, Need and the cost of a measure to the state of scientific evidence must meet. In the diabetes guidelines of the German Diabetes Society (DDG) is a continuous, integrated system, in addition to the scientific evidence-based guidelines and appropriate – practice guidelines and patient or Citizens versions of these guidelines will be developed. Note spelling practice guidelines The goal is ultimately a uniform teaching of core content statements for the Epidemiology, diagnosis, classification, prevention, treatment, therapy and controls Long term care of diabetes and its accompanying and secondary diseases.

Aspects of Diabetes Mellitus
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
Our diabetes care takes into account all aspects of diabetes mellitus, including diabetes-specific follow-up examinations and screening. The practice is diabetologic Schwerpunktpraxis or Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, insulin pump for treatment and for the treatment of pregnant women with diabetes. Of course, we also train and treat patients who do not have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but one of the rarer forms of diabetes, eg after inflammation or surgery of the pancreas or with cortisone treatment.
In particular, we offer in practice
- Individual counseling in diabetes and other diet-related diseases
- Training in type 2 and type 1 diabetes
- Training for hypertension
- Resetting to drugs and / or insulin
- Acute treatment of metabolic disorders, including recruitment to insulin in newly detected insulin-dependent diabetes
Patients in the statutory health insurance can use the practice of the “disease management programs (DMP) for type 1 and type 2 diabetes to participate (eg curaplan AOK, TK KK-plus technicians, etc.).

Gestational Diabetes
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy. Of every 100 pregnant women, about 4 of them develop gestational diabetes. As with other types of diabetes, gestational diabetes is a condition in which the body has difficulty in managing blood glucose (sugar) in the blood. Glucose is the main source of energy in the body. Diabetes increases the levels of blood sugar. This may create a serious health problem for you and your baby.
If gestational diabetes is not treated, the baby is at higher risk for:
- Born too big
- Birth defects
- Stillborn
- Complications at birth
The large babies may be injured during vaginal birth, reason for that is often required to undergo both a cesarean mother. Babies of mothers with gestational diabetes may have difficulty breathing, low blood sugar and jaundice during the first weeks after birth. Fortunately, gestational diabetes can be treated and controlled to protect the health of the mother and baby.

Blood Glucose
Friday, March 5th, 2010
Diabetes type 1 is not a problem of testing for blood glucose rises abruptly and there are obvious symptoms.
This is by no cons cases of type 2 diabetes in which diabetes is often diagnosed very late due to the absence of symptoms.
It is estimated that there are an average of seven years between when the blood sugar may help the diagnosis of diabetes when diabetes is diagnosed.

Diabetes Diagnosed
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Diabetes is a disease particularly insidious and perverse as it may not be any symptoms for many years and when symptoms appear are those complications.
The phrase “I have no symptoms, so I’m not sick” is completely false, but “may well have diabetes for many years without knowing it” is perfectly correct, and lack of a correct detection complication is already present at diagnosis of diabetes in 10 to 30% of cases in individual studies.

Stem Cell Therapy in Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 & 2

Diabetes type 1
The body’s autoimmune reaction to the pancreatic beta cells in the islets of Langerhans and the resulting destruction of these beta cells immediate cause a deficiency of insulin, causing Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a degenerative disease, traditionally treated with insulin injections. These injections replace the missing hormone, but treatment can lead to serious complications. Hyperglycemia may contribute to several complications, such as:
- cardiac and vascular disease
- eye and kidney disease
- inadequate Vascularization
- nerve cell damage (Nuropathy)
- Diabetic feet
- high susceptibility to infections
- erectile dysfunction
Diabetes type 2
Type 2 diabetes used to be known as mature or developing non-insulin dependent diabetes. Although type 2 diabetes affects individuals over age 40, today there is a growing trend of cases in younger people, especially those with a family history of diabetes. Clearly, diabetes mellitus type 2 is undoubtedly the most common form, affecting 85 to 90% of people with diabetes. Experts estimate that almost one third of people with type 2 diabetes do not even know they have it. If the condition is not controlled, the consequences (as with type 1 diabetes) can be life threatening.

Diabetes Type 2
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Still outstanding there twenty years, type 2 diabetes, the form of the disease related to obesity, is increasing among young people.
- A young man who developed diabetes between 10 and 15 years is threatened myocardial infarction at 25 years,” says Professor Jean-Raymond Attali, endocrinologist, diabetologist at Hospital Jean Verdier, Bondy, France. Asked Tuesday by The Associated Press, Professor Attali warns that “time is the same as for adults.
Diabetes is an increase of glucose, that is to say, the sugar in the blood. It is defined by a high fasting blood glucose greater than or equal to 1.26 g / l (measured twice). There are two types of diabetes: type 1 (10% of cases) and type 2 diabetes (90% of cases). The type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, to hereditary predisposition. Most often, it affects children, adolescents and young adults (under 30). Diabetes type 2, however, much more common, can be prevented through good nutrition, healthy weight, regular sports activities.
The type 2 diabetes develops when two anomalies are met:
- The body’s cells become less sensitive to insulin, which then leads the pancreas to produce more for the same effect. This anomaly occurs most often in people who are overweight and / or sedentary
- The pancreas is defective and fails after a certain time to produce enough insulin to compensate for the anomaly.
Overweight and obesity are not synonymous with diabetes but can be aggravating factors: 80% of patients with diabetes are overweight. Although for most people, sugar and diabetes are linked, few people, especially youth, are aware of the disease and its consequences (blindness, amputation, heart disease, decreased life expectancy, etc). Diabetes affects 246 million people around the world and these numbers are constantly increasing. It is estimated at 350 million the number of diabetics in 20 years.

Types of Diabetes
Monday, January 4th, 2010
There are different types of diabetes, the most common are type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes. This form of the disease is seen most often in children and young adults, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin. The cause is unknown, but researchers believe it is due to genetic factors (inheritance) or environmental. It is a disease that is preventable.
In this type of diabetes, people can not make insulin and must inject the hormone daily to live. Symptoms occur most commonly include frequent urination, feeling very hungry, tiredness, blurred vision, excessive thirst, weight loss, or irritability.
Type 2 diabetes. Most people with diabetes have type 2, which is usually seen in people over age 45, also known as noninsulin-dependent diabetes. Is a disorder of metabolism that is associated with obesity, sedentary lifestyle (lack of exercise) and unhealthy eating habits.
Risk factors for this type of diabetes include family history, overweight people, those who do not exercise or have impaired levels of cholesterol and in women who had diabetes during pregnancy.
This disease occurs when the body does not make enough insulin or can not use it correctly. The most common symptoms are: any of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes, frequent infections, wounds that heal slowly, numbness in hands or feet.

What is Diabetes?
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
Introduction
Most foods we consume are converted into glucose, a form of sugar. Our body uses glucose as an energy source for our cells to function properly, muscles and entire body. For us to absorb glucose, we need a hormone called insulin that is produced in the pancreas (organ in the abdomen near the stomach).
Definition
When a person has diabetes, your pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body can not use it properly and without insulin, glucose can not enter our cells, so glucose stays in the blood and filtered through the kidneys. The elevated levels of glucose in the blood causes progressive and irreversible damage in many parts of the body.
Millions of people have diabetes mellitus, commonly called diabetes. Diabetes is a serious, chronic disease caused by problems with insulin production.
