In diabetes, hypoglycaemia for the most part emerges as a result of pharmacologic treatment that causes blood glucose levels to drop underneath the normal range. Whereas mild hypoglycaemia usually resolves with incite ingestion of carbohydrates, more often reduced glucose levels can impede cognitive function, and even threaten life. Nocturnal hypoglycaemia poses a specific challenge because the sleeping patient isn't in a position to intervene and numerous episodes are asymptomatic. Repeated exposure to nocturnal hypoglycaemia can limit counterregulatory mechanisms, with possibly serious clinical consequences. Hypoglycaemia in diabetes typically happens as a result of therapeutic treatment, particularly with insulin, glinides or sulfonylureas (SUs). Risk factors for hypoglycaemia includes Aggressive treatment of glycaemia, HbA1C < 6.5%* (except in youth), High glucose variability (in older adults), Long duration of diabetes, Renal impairment, Duration of insulin therap...

Stem cells are the cells that have a potential for creating an entire human body. A   stem cell  has the ability to divide, and the divided new  cell  has the potential either to remain a  stem cell  or become another type of  cell  with a more specialized function, such as a brain cell , or a red blood  cell . Researchers have found ways to isolate them outside the human body, concentrate in a laboratory and embed back. Stem cells treatment require administration of isolated cells in the damaged area, wherein they can divide in the harmed area, adapt the properties of inhabitant stem cells and start some of the misplaced functions that have been compromised by the disease or injury. Various researches are accessible proposing in vitro differentiation of stem cells into insulin-producing beta cells. These cells can as well offer assistance in creating a microenvironment due to initiate secretion of different immune cells to counteract...

Hyperlipidemia alludes to high levels of lipids in the blood. Hyperlipidemia is a key preventable risk factor for the heart disease. It is also called as dyslipidemia and can be diagnosed from a simple blood test but in some cases it can be asymptomatic.  Cholesterol is a waxy fat-like substance that is a main ingredient in cell synthesis. Cholesterol is transported around in the blood stream in small packs which are made up of lipids and proteins called lipoproteins. There are two main types of lipoprotein, one called high density lipoprotein (HDL) and the other called low density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL-cholesterol makes up 60% of the entire cholesterol and is a major hazard for heart disease, while HDL-cholesterol is cardioprotective. That’s why, HDL is called good cholesterol and LDL is called bad cholesterol. Dyslipidemia can be caused by two main categories: Primary hyperlipidemia: In this, individuals are inborn with a disorder of lipid metabolism. Secondar...

Diabetes can affect numerous parts of your body, including your skin. When diabetes affects the skin, it’s often a caution sign that your blood glucose levels are too high. The following infections on your skin are warning signs of pre-diabetes or diabetes. Most skin problems are harmless, but indeed a minor one can become serious in individuals who have diabetes. 1. Yellow, reddish, or brown patches on your skin This skin condition frequently starts as a small pimple. As it advances, these bumps (pimples) turn into patches of swollen and hard skin. The patches can be yellow, reddish, or brown. You may also notice that the surrounding skin has a shiny porcelain-like appearance; it will be itchy and painful. This condition in medical terms is called as necrobiosis lipodica. 2. Hard, thickening skin Hard skin develops on the fingers, toes, or both, and the medical name for this condition is  digital sclerosis . On the hands, you’ll take note tight, waxy skin on the b...
