Diabetes mellitus control

Blood sugar (blood glucose) in human beings is controlled by the secretion of (—>) insulin by the beta (B- or (3-) cells of the islands of Langerhans in the pancreas. Loss of insulin synthesis leads to (—>) diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, EDDM) begins in juveniles as an organ-specific autoimmune reaction, the destructive insulitis.

It has been proposed that the development of the complications of diabetes mellitus may be linked to oxidative stress and therefore might be attenuated by antioxidants such as vitamin E. Furthermore, it is discussed that glucose-induced vascular dysfunction in diabetes can be reduced by vitamin E treatment due to the inactivation of PKC. Cardiovascular complications are among the leading causes of death in diabetics. In addition, a postulated protective effect of vitamin E (antioxidants) on fasting plasma glucose in type 2 diabetic patients is also mentioned but could not be confirmed in a recently published triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial [3]. To our knowledge, up to now no clinical intervention trials have tested directly whether vitamin E can ameliorate the complication of diabetes. 

Those with type 1 diabetes mellitus produce insulin in insufficient amounts and tiierefore must have insulin supplementation to survive Type 1 diabetes usually has a rapid onset, occurs before die age of 20 years, produces more severe symptoms tiian type 2 diabetes, and is more difficult to control. Major symptoms of type 1 diabetes include hyperglycemia, polydipsia (increased thirst), polyphagia (increased appetite), polyuria (increased urination), and weight loss. Treatment of type 1 diabetes is particularly difficult to control because of the lack of insulin production by die pancreas. Treatment requires a strict regimen tiiat typically includes a carefully calculated diet, planned physical activity, home glucose testing several times a day, and multiple daily insulin injections. 

Insulin is necessary for controlling type 1 diabetes mellitus that is caused by a marked decrease in the amount of insulin produced by die pancreas. Insulin is also used to control the more severe and complicated forms of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, many patients can control type 2 diabetes with diet and exercise alone or with diet, exercise, and an oral antidiabetic drug (see section Oral Antidiabetic Dmgp ). Insulin may also be used in the treatment of severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or diabetic coma. Insulin is also used in combination with glucose to treat hypokalemia by producing a shift of potassium from die blood and into die cells. 

Insulin glargine is given SC once daily at bedtime This type of insulin is used in the treatment of adults and children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and in adults widi type 2 diabetes who need long-acting insulin for die control of hyperglycemia.

The neuromuscular complications of diabetes mellitus are most often neuropathic in origin, with distal sensorimotor polyneuropathies being the most common. In addition, ischemic infarction of skeletal muscle may occur due to occlusive vascular disease, with small and medium-sized arterioles particularly affected. This occurs in poorly-controlled diabetes and affects thigh, muscles in most cases. In acute stages, muscle biopsy findings are those of widespread muscle necrosis, edema, and phagocytic cell infiltration. Muscle regeneration may be incomplete and increased fibrous connective tissue may replace lost muscle tissue. 

There are few absolute contraindications for deep peeling, with the exception of physical or mental instability. During pregnancy and lactation any cosmetic intervention is considered to be undesirable. We have safely peeled patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, thrombocytopenia, thyroid malfunction, etc, as long as their disease is well controlled and stable. All pa-...
