The Most Important Advances For Treating Diabetes

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

The big challenge was that, until recently, scientific evidence showed that the only way of administering insulin was skin, however, found that it can be absorbed by the blood without needles or syringes, using a inhaler similar to that used in treating asthma. With the approval of this drug makes a pattern in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. (more…)

Diabetic Treated With Inhaled Insulin

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Diabetic Treated With Inhaled Insulin
Inhaled insulin produces a cloud of particles from powdered insulin. These particles are absorbed into the bloodstream through the alveoli, through an inhaler similar to those currently used for the treatment of asthma.

To verify its effectiveness, was held, worldwide, a study period of seven years where more than 3,000 diabetic patients who were treated with inhaled insulin. This demonstrated that this treatment is as effective as injected insulin and superior to oral hypoglycemic agents or pills used by people with type 2 diabetes, to reduce and maintain well-controlled blood sugar levels.

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.).

Regulation of Glucose

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

In people who are not diabetic:

  • the fasting and before meals is between 0.70 and 0.90 g / l
  • blood sugar after meals is below 1.50 g / l.

This regulation of blood glucose is the result of insulin action on all body cells and the liver and muscles that have a particular role. Having become acquainted with each actor, we will consider the role of each.

Diabetes leads to elevated blood glucose, that is to say the level of sugar in the blood. It is generally abrupt (a few days or weeks) at the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and progressively (several years) on the occurrence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

When glucose is frankly high, entailing heavy urine, thirst, fatigue . but when it is not really high there was no fatigue, no thirst, no urine abundant. However, any abnormal rise in blood sugar damages the arteries and nerves, which is responsible for the establishment of complications gradually and without symptoms.

Treatment Phase of Stem Cell Therapy in Diabetes Mellitus (Part 1)

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

tretament of stem cell therapyTreatment phase of stem cell therapy are:
1. Extraction
2. Isolation, analysis and concentration of stem cells in the laboratory
3. Implantation of stem cells
4. Aftercare

Extraction of bone marrow
One of the doctors removed bone marrow from the patient’s hip. This procedure takes approximately 30 minutes in total and first provided anesthesia to the puncture site and then removed with a fine needle approx. 150-200 ml of bone marrow. The injection of anesthesia can be a bit painful, extraction of bone marrow change is barely felt. Following this intervention will determine the date for implantation of bone marrow and soon the patient can go home.

Another method for the extraction of stem cells is the mobilization of stem cells from bone marrow with the help of growth factors. they are first injected into the patient, making the stem cells come from bone marrow into the blood. Then stem cells can be isolated from the blood. This method is used less frequently in XCell-Center, but in some cases may constitute an alternative to bone marrow puncture.
Isolation, analysis and concentration of stem cells in the laboratory

In the lab examines the bone marrow collected in sterile tubes in quality and quantity of stem cells it contains. This was first isolated stem cells apart, using a chromatographic procedure, the red and white blood cells and plasma. The sample is processed under sterile conditions so that the stem cells provided to the patient may become contaminated with viruses, bacteria or fungi. (more…)
