Another item that influences compensation is the specific type of service that is provided. For example, compensation can be requested for laboratory services, procedures (e.g., immunizations), and specific health conditions (e.g., diabetes or preventive health counseling). Laboratory testing can offer away to monitor drug therapy but can also become a source of compensation. The CLIA waiver allows low-complexity tests to be preformed in a pharmacy or other setting. If moderate- or high-complexity laboratory testing is performed, the pharmacy or clinic must register wi th CLIA as a laboratory (Snella, 1999).

Clear disease protection through l,25(OH)2D3 has been shown in the NOD mouse model of type I diabetes since vitamin D deficiency almost doubles the incidence of diabetes in female mice to 88% and induces diabetes in almost 50% of male mice. Diabetes was prevented by dietary administration of 50 ng of 1,25 (OH)2D3/day [135, 136]. A variety of additional studies in the NOD mouse model led to the l,25(OH)2D3-sensitive role of Thl-type Tcells and CD4+CD25+ Tregs (see... 

Ling Zhi-8 (LZ-8) is an immunomodulatory protein (29,30) isolated from the mycelial extract of Ganoderma lucidium, that has been purified and shown to stimulate mouse spleen and human peripheral blood lymphocytes. LZ-8 is able to inhibit antibody production and prevent the development of autoimmune type I diabetes in NOD mice. 

Diabetic patients have reduced antioxidant defences and suffer from an increased risk of free radical-mediated diseases such as coronary heart disease. EC has a pronounced insulin-like effect on erythrocyte membrane-bound acetylcholinesterase in type II diabetic patients (Rizvi and Zaid, 2001). Tea polyphenols were shown to possess anti-diabetic activity and to be effective both in the prevention and treatment of diabetes (Choi et al, 1998 Yang et al, 1999). The main mechanism by which tea polyphenols appear to lower serum glucose levels is via the inhibition of the activity of the starch digesting enzyme, amylase. Tea inhibits both salivary and intestinal amylase, so that starch is broken down more slowly and the rise in serum glucose is thus reduced. In addition, tea may affect the intestinal absorption of glucose. 

The Diabetes Prevention Program was a 3-year study that showed that lifestyle modifications, including exercise (30 minutes/day, 5 days/week) and moderate (5%-10%) weight loss, reduce the probability of developing DM by 58% in patients with pre-diabetes. Results from this study suggest that diet, exercise, and behavior modification are effective in preventing type 2 DM in high-risk patients.14...

This is cliitically important because a failure to control the blood glucose level adequately can lead to diabetes melUtus. Therefore, it can be argued that glucokinase is essential to prevent the development of diabetes in normal humans. Indeed, a deficiency of glucokinase in the P-cell gives rise to one type of diabetes, known as maturity onset diabetes in the young (MODY).

Older patients have predominantly Type 2 diabetes mellitus, which shares with Type 1 the risk for retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy, but carries a greater risk for macrovascular complications such as coronary artery disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. Many such patients have associated obesity, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, compounding the risk of cardiovascular disease. The goals of treatment of DM in the elderly are to decrease symptoms related to hyperglycaemia and to prevent long-term complications. Treatment of type 2 DM can improve prognosis. In the UKPDS trial, sulphonylureas, insulin, and metformin were all associated with a reduction in diabetes-related... 

Orlistat, a semisynthetic derivative of lipstatin, is a potent and selective inhibitor of pancreatic lipases. It was designed to treat obesity. Orlistat prevents approximately 25% of dietary fat from being absorbed. Very little of the drug itself is absorbed. Its adverse effects are therefore restricted to those related to fat malabsorption, with potential losses of fat-soluble vitamins. It has a relatively small effect on body mass, but enough to realise in one study a 37% reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
