Diabetes symptoms

Imagine your doctor tasting your urine to find out what was making you constantly thirsty and hungry and wasting away to skin and bones For hundreds of years, this was a fairly common practice. Diabetes had been known for centuries, and one advance came when physicians realized that patients with diabetic symptoms often had high levels of sugar in their urine. In the 11 century, someone took a sip of the urine and the condition was named diabetes mellitus (from the Latin word for honey or sweet ). 

C. Myelotoxicity is associated with certain NRTIs such as zidovudine. Fat redistribution, drug interactions involving CYP3A4, dyslipidemia, and diabetic symptoms are all side effects common to the protease inhibitors. 

It has been observed that vanadium has insulin-like effects on the main organs targeted by insulin — skeletal muscles, adipose, and liver — and vanadium has been shown to reduce blood glucose to normal levels in rats that have diabetic conditions. In considering the potential of vanadium to treat diabetes in humans, the toxicity of vanadium is a definite consideration. Several organically chelated forms of vanadium have been found to be more effective in treating diabetes symptoms and less toxic than inorganic vanadium.4... 

Adrenaline (epinephrine) raises the blood sugar by mobilising liver and muscle glycogen it does not antagonise the peripheral actions of insulin. Glycosuria and diabetic symptoms may occur in patients with phaeochromocytoma.

Cisplatin polymer analogs, made through reaction of tetrachloroplatinate with tetramisole, were tested for their ability to inhibit EMC-D viruses that are responsible for the onset of juvenile diabetes symptoms in ICR Swiss male mice [109]. Briefly, the mice were treated with 1, 5, and lOmg/kg. Doses of 1 and 5mg/kg decreased the severity and incidence of virus-induced diabetes in comparison to untreated mice, hi another series of tests, doses of 1 and lOmg/kg were administered 1 day prior to injection of the virus but here there was an increase in the severity and incidence of virus-induced diabetes. Other studies were undertaken showing that the polymer showed different activity profiles than the tetramisole (Scheme 8.29), itself.
