Tips on hyperlipidemia Diet.

Diet actually is to manage your food intake, consistently, regular and measurable. Diet ussualy have a health purpose or in order to preventing diseases, as well as accelerate the process of recovery in certain diseases.
A good diet will also keep us away from illnes, certainly the specific diseases or slow down the process, such as heart failure disease , hypertension, stroke , diabetes. etc.

One thing to do is Diet Hypercholesterolemia or also called Diet Hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is a condition that our bloods contains too many lipids.
If the excess means is treated by reducing lipids. The simple treat how to reduce lipid with more easy and cheap is to reduce the intake of foods high in cholesterol through diet hyperlipidemia.

Diet Hyperlipidemia Purposes:

  •     Lowering lipid levels in the blood and then maintain within normal limits,
  •     Weight loss for obese patients,
  •     Prevent complications of diseases caused by hyperlipidemia.

In princips Diet of hyperlipidemia is to set food diet by limiting foods that contain high cholesterol and replace them with foods that are low in cholesterol.

  • Avoid foods that contain saturated fat: animal fat, a variety of products from coconut, butter, chocolate and avocado.
  • Avoid processed foods of animal origin such as milk in general and part of high cholesterol   such as brain, egg yolk, squid, mussels etc.
  • Avoid   the use of instant seasoning,
  • Avoid and limit the processing of food by frying,
  • Use oils from unsaturated fats from oils: peanut, soybean, sunflower seed, corn etc.
  • Suggested always process food by steaming, barbeque, etc,
  • Expand high-fiber foods,
  • Replace a snack with fruit,
  • Regularly take exercise, walking, jogging etc.

Food intake should be limited category:

Carbohydrates of rice, corn, starches, rice, noodles and macaroni according to needs,
Lean meat, skinless chicken, skim milk, egg whites, fresh fish.
Sugar and a variety of foods with sugar; candy, jam, compote and beverages that tasted sweet syrup.

Good luck, hopefully always healthy.

Ebola Virus : The Recent Outbreaks

Fruit Bats
Recently, many countries in the world again surprised with Ebola infection. The first cases was notified in March 2014, and than become an outbreaks of disease that spread widely to other country in africa. Ebola virus that infect human firstly reported in Africa in 1976.

The current outbreak in west Africa, is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the Ebola virus was first discovered. There have been more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It has also spread between countries starting in Guinea then spreading across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia, by air (1 traveller only) to Nigeria, and by land (1 traveller) to Senegal.

The most severely affected countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have very weak health systems, lacking human and infrastructural resources, having only recently emerged from long periods of conflict and instability. On August 8, the WHO Director-General declared this outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. A separate, unrelated Ebola outbreak began in Boende, Equateur, an isolated part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The virus family Filoviridae includes 3 genera: Cuevavirus, Marburgvirus, and Ebolavirus. There are 5 species that have been identified: Zaire, Bundibugyo, Sudan, Reston and Taï Forest. The first 3, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus, and Sudan ebolavirus have been associated with large outbreaks in Africa. The virus causing the 2014 west African outbreak belongs to the Zaire species.

Ebola Virus Infected Human

  • Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family had known as natural Ebola virus hosts. Ebola virus is transmitted through the saliva of these bats. It Infects through body fluid contact by touching fruit or objects that have been exposed to the saliva of bats. Also with close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals such as chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest.
  • Ebola then spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids.
  • Health-care workers have frequently been infected while treating patients with suspected or confirmed EVD. This has occurred through close contact with patients when infection control precautions are not strictly practiced.
  • Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola.
  • People remain infectious as long as their blood and body fluids, including semen and breast milk, contain the virus. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.

Symptoms of Ebola virus disease

  • The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. 
  • Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms. 
  • First symptoms are the sudden onset of fever fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. 
  • This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, symptoms of impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding (e.g. oozing from the gums, blood in the stools). Laboratory findings include low white blood cell and platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes.

EbolaVirus Disease Diagnosis





It can be difficult to distinguish EVD from other infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever and meningitis. Confirmation that symptoms are caused by Ebola virus infection are made using the following investigations:

  •    Antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  •     Antigen-capture detection tests
  •    Serum neutralization test
  •     Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay
  •     Electron microscopy
  •    Virus isolation by cell culture.
Samples from patients are an extreme biohazard risk; laboratory testing on non-inactivated samples should be conducted under maximum biological containment conditions.
Treatment and vaccines

  • Supportive care-rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids- and treatment of specific symptoms, improves survival. 
  • There is as yet no proven treatment available for EVD. 
  • However, a range of potential treatments including blood products, immune therapies and drug therapies are currently being evaluated. 
  • No licensed vaccines are available yet, but 2 potential vaccines are undergoing human safety testing.

How to Control and Prevention

Good outbreak control relies on applying a package of interventions, namely case management, surveillance and contact tracing, a good laboratory service, safe burials and social mobilisation.

Community engagement is key to successfully controlling outbreaks. Raising awareness of risk factors for Ebola infection and protective measures that individuals can take is an effective way to reduce human transmission. Risk reduction messaging should focus on several factors:

Reducing the risk of wildlife-to-human transmission from contact with infected fruit bats or monkeys/apes and the consumption of their raw meat. Animals should be handled with gloves and other appropriate protective clothing. Animal products (blood and meat) should be thoroughly cooked before consumption.

Reducing the risk of human-to-human transmission from direct or close contact with people with Ebola symptoms, particularly with their bodily fluids. Gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when taking care of ill patients at home. Regular hand washing is required after visiting patients in hospital, as well as after taking care of patients at home.


Outbreak containment measures including prompt and safe burial of the dead, identifying people who may have been in contact with someone infected with Ebola, monitoring the health of contacts for 21 days, the importance of separating the healthy from the sick to prevent further spread, the importance of good hygiene and maintaining a clean environment.

Controlling infection in health-care settings:

Health-care workers should always take standard precautions when caring for patients, regardless of their presumed diagnosis. These include basic hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (to block splashes or other contact with infected materials), safe injection practices and safe burial practices.

Health-care workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus should apply extra infection control measures to prevent contact with the patient’s blood and body fluids and contaminated surfaces or materials such as clothing and bedding. When in close contact (within 1 metre) of patients with EBV, health-care workers should wear face protection (a face shield or a medical mask and goggles), a clean, non-sterile long-sleeved gown, and gloves (sterile gloves for some procedures).

Laboratory workers are also at risk. Samples taken from humans and animals for investigation of Ebola infection should be handled by trained staff and processed in suitably equipped laboratories.

Anxiety Disorder Sign



Normaly,  Anyone when speaking in public for instance, or when going through financial difficulty will gets nervous or anxious from time to time. For some people when it becomes so frequent, or so forceful that call anxiety has begins to take over their lives

How can you tell if your everyday anxiety has crossed the line into a disorder? It's not easy. Anxiety comes in many different forms—such as panic-attacks, phobia and social anxiety and the distinction between an official diagnosis  about "normal" and anxiety becomes not clear.

If you experience any of the following symptoms on a regular basis, you may want to talk to your doctor to find out the solution or just cunsulting. Here is the start, you can answer this questions :

Do You have a Sleep problems?

Have a problem to falling asleep or staying asleep is associated with a wide range of health conditions, both physical and psychological. And, of course, it's not unusual to toss and turn with anticipation on the night before you have a big speech or job interview for the next morning.

But if you chronically find yourself always lying awake,  feel worried or agitated—about specific problems (like financial, job, etc, ), or nothing in particular—it might be a early sign of an anxiety disorder.

Another tip-off that anxiety might be involved, when you wake up from asleep usually you will feeling wired, your mind is racing, and you're unable to calm yourself down without a particular reasons.

Do You Have Irrational fears?

Some anxiety could be not generalized at all; on the contrary, it's attached to a specific situation or thing.  Some thing situation or condition like flying, animals, or crowds. If the fear becomes overwhelming, disruptive and way out of proportion to the actual risk involved. If your answer is yes, see your doctor because it's sign of phobia, a type of anxiety disorder.

Although phobias can be crippling, they're not obvious at all times. In fact, they may not surface until you confront a specific situation and discover you're incapable of overcoming your fear. "A person who's afraid of snakes can go for years without having a problem. But then suddenly their kids wants to go to camping at summer, and they realize that they need treatment."

Do You Have a Stage of fright?

Most people get at least a few butterflies before addressing a group of people or otherwise being in the spotlight. But if the fear is become so strong that no amount of coaching or practice will alleviate it.  Or if you spend a lot of time to thinking and worrying about it, you may have a form of social anxiety disorder that also known as social phobia.

People who have anxiety type social phobia tend to worry for days or weeks leading up to a particular event or situation. They do manage to go through with it, they tend to be deeply uncomfortable and may dwell on it for a long time afterward, wondering how they were being judged.

Do You Have Self-Consciousness?

Social anxiety disorder doesn't always involve speaking to a crowd, face the public or when you’re being become the center of attention. In most cases, the anxiety is provoked by everyday situations such as making one-on-one conversation at a party, or eating and drinking in front of even a small number of people, no crowd.

In these situations, people with social anxiety disorder tend to feel like all eyes are on them, and they often experience blushing, trembling, nausea, profuse sweating, or difficulty talking. These symptoms can be so disruptive that they make it hard to meet new people, maintain relationships, and advance at work or in school.

Do You ever feel Panic?

Panic attacks can be terrifying: Picture a sudden, gripping feeling of fear and helplessness that can last for several minutes, accompanied by scary physical symptoms such as breathing problems, a pounding or racing heart, tingling or numb hands, sweating, weakness or dizziness, chest pain, stomach pain, and feeling hot or cold.

Not everyone who has a panic attack has an anxiety disorder, but people who experience them repeatedly may be diagnosed with panic disorder. People with panic disorder live in fear about when, where, and why their next attack might happen, and they tend to avoid places where attacks have occurred in the past.

Do You ever feel Flashbacks?

Reliving a disturbing or traumatic event such a violent encounter, the sudden death of a loved one, is a hallmark of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  PTSD which shares some features with anxiety disorders. PTSD was seen as a type of anxiety disorder rather than a stand-alone condition.

But flashbacks may occur with other types of anxiety as well. Some research, including a 2006 study in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, suggests that some people with social anxiety have PTSD-like flashbacks of experiences that might not seem obviously traumatic, such as being publicly ridiculed. These people may even avoid reminders of the experience—another symptom reminiscent of PTSD.

Do You Perfectionist One?

The finicky and obsessive mind-set known as perfectionism is also goes hand in hand with anxiety disorders. If you are constantly judging yourself or you have a lot of anticipatory anxiety about making mistakes or falling short of your standards, then you probably have an anxiety disorder.

Perfectionism is especially common in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which, like PTSD, has long been viewed as an anxiety disorder. OCD can happen subtly, like in the case of somebody who can't get out of the house for three hours because their makeup, has to be absolutely just right and they have to keep starting over.

Do You Have a Compulsive behaviors?

In order to be diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, a person's obsessiveness and intrusive thoughts must be accompanied by compulsive behavior, whether it's mental (telling yourself It'll be all right over and over again) or physical (hand-washing, straightening items).

Obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior become a full-blown disorder when the need to complete the behaviors—also known as "rituals"—begins to drive your life. If you like your radio at volume level 3, for example, and it breaks and gets stuck on 4, would you be in a total panic until you could get it fixed?

Do You Self-doubt?

Persistent self-doubt and second-guessing is a common feature of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. In some cases, the doubt may revolve around a question that's central to a person's identity, like "What if I'm gay?" or "Do I love my husband as much as he loves me?"

In OCD, doubt attacks are especially common when a question is unanswerable. People with OCD think, If only they would know 100% for sure whether they was gay or straight, either one would be fine, but they have this intolerance for uncertainty that turns the question into an obsession.

Breast Cancer



Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a disease that is dreaded by women in every country. have been many deaths of women who are struggling in vain to lose and was snatched away by the disease of breast cancer malignant type.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, it's important to understand some basics: What is breast cancer and how does it happen?
In this section, you can learn about how breast cancer develops, how many people get breast cancer, and what factors can increase risk for getting breast cancer. You also can learn more about signs and symptoms to watch for and how to manage any fears you may have about breast cancer.
Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. To better understand breast cancer, it helps to understand how any cancer can develop.
Cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy. The genes are in each cell’s nucleus, which acts as the “control room” of each cell. Normally, the cells in our bodies replace themselves through an orderly process of cell growth: healthy new cells take over as old ones die out. But over time, mutations can “turn on” certain genes and “turn off” others in a cell. That changed cell gains the ability to keep dividing without control or order, producing more cells just like it and forming a tumor.
A tumor can be benign (not dangerous to health) or malignant (has the potential to be dangerous). Benign tumors are not considered cancerous: their cells are close to normal in appearance, they grow slowly, and they do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors are cancerous. Left unchecked, malignant cells eventually can spread beyond the original tumor to other parts of the body.
The term “breast cancer” refers to a malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the breast.
Usually breast cancer either begins in the cells of the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the lobules to the nipple. Less commonly, breast cancer can begin in the stromal tissues, which include the fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast.

Breast Anatomy

 
 Over time, cancer cells can invade nearby healthy breast tissue and make their way into the underarm lymph nodes, small organs that filter out foreign substances in the body. If cancer cells get into the lymph nodes, they then have a pathway into other parts of the body. The breast cancer’s stage refers to how far the cancer cells have spread beyond the original tumor
 
Breast cancer is always caused by a genetic abnormality (a “mistake” in the genetic material). However, only 5-10% of cancers are due to an abnormality inherited from your mother or father. Instead, 85-90% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and the “wear and tear” of life in general.
There are steps every person can take to help the body stay as healthy as possible, such as eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, limiting alcohol, and exercising regularly. While these may have some impact on your risk of getting breast cancer, they cannot eliminate the risk.
Developing breast cancer is not your or anyone's fault. Feeling guilty, or telling yourself that breast cancer happened because of something you or anyone else did, is not productive.

Stages of breast cancer


Stage

Definition
Stage 0
Cancer cells remain inside the breast duct, without invasion into normal adjacent breast tissue.
Stage IA
The tumor measures up to 2 cm
AND
the cancer has not spread outside the breast; no lymph nodes are involved
Stage IB
There is no tumor in the breast; instead, small groups of cancer cells -- larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than 2 millimeters – are found in the lymph nodes
OR
there is a tumor in the breast that is no larger than 2 centimeters, and there are small groups of cancer cells – larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than 2 millimeters – in the lymph nodes.
Stage IIA
No tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer cells are found in the axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm)
OR
the tumor measures 2 centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes
OR
the tumor is larger than 2 but no larger than 5 centimeters and has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes.
Stage IIB
The tumor is larger than 2 but no larger than 5 centimeters and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes
OR
the tumor is larger than 5 centimeters but has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes.
Stage IIIA
No tumor is found in the breast. Cancer is found in axillary lymph nodes that are sticking together or to other structures, or cancer may be found in lymph nodes near the breastbone
OR
the tumor is any size. Cancer has spread to the axillary lymph nodes, which are sticking together or to other structures, or cancer may be found in lymph nodes near the breastbone.
Stage IIIB
The tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or skin of the breast
AND
may have spread to axillary lymph nodes that are clumped together or sticking to other structures, or cancer may have spread to lymph nodes near the breastbone.

Inflammatory breast cancer is considered at least stage IIIB.
Stage IIIC

There may either be no sign of cancer in the breast or a tumor may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast
AND
the cancer has spread to lymph nodes either above or below the collarbone
AND
the cancer may have spread to axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone.
Stage IV
The cancer has spread — or metastasized — to other parts of the body.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer

Initially, breast cancer may not cause any symptoms. A lump may be too small for you to feel or to cause any unusual changes you can notice on your own. Often, an abnormal area turns up on a screening mammogram (X-ray of the breast), which leads to further testing.
In some cases, however, the first sign of breast cancer is a new lump or mass in the breast that you or your doctor can feel. A lump that is painless, hard, and has uneven edges is more likely to be cancer. But sometimes cancers can be tender, soft, and rounded. So it's important to have anything unusual checked by your doctor.

According to the American Cancer Society, any of the following unusual changes in the breast can be a symptom of breast cancer:
  • swelling of all or part of the breast
  • skin irritation or dimpling
  • breast pain
  • nipple pain or the nipple turning inward
  • redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin
  • a nipple discharge other than breast milk
  • a lump in the underarm area
These changes also can be signs of less serious conditions that are not cancerous, such as an infection or a cyst. It’s important to get any breast changes checked out promptly by a doctor.

Managing Breast Cancer Fears

So many women you know may have had breast cancer — friends and neighbors, coworkers, relatives. It seems as if every time you turn around, breast cancer is being talked about in the newspaper or on TV.
You may be fearful of developing breast cancer for the first time or of receiving a diagnosis after a mammogram or other testing. If you’ve had breast cancer, you may be fearful of a possible recurrence or even of the possibility that breast cancer could take your life.
Even though you may have some of these fears, you are not necessarily going to get breast cancer.
If you have had breast cancer before, it doesn’t mean that the cancer will recur. 
Still, it's normal to have concerns about a disease that you hear about and see around you relatively often and that you may have experienced yourself or through a loved one.
Don't let the discussion of fear in this section feed into your own fears. Trough out lot of media the information our medical experts provide and the support offered by our community members in the  
Discussion Boards can help you manage the fears instead of letting them manage you.
The fear of breast cancer is unlike any other psychologists and other experts agree on that.
The fear can take many different forms, depending upon where you are in the breast cancer experience.

Understand that many of your fears are shared by others. While fears are normal, they are uncomfortable to live with. We'll help you figure out how you can manage fear so you can focus on living a happy and healthy life.

Diabetes Mellitus



DIABETES MELLITUS

  In simple word diabets mellitus is mean as condition in which high blood sugar levels caused by the body's inability to produce or use insulin hormones. 

Insulin itself is a hormone produced by the pancreas gland body. Insulin process sugar so it can be used by the body's cells for energy and stored if the excess.

The simple case of diabets means that there has been a breakdown in the mechanism of blood sugar, can damage the insulin production of the pancreas gland or damage to the body's cells can not use insulin.

Diabets is divided into two, namely diabets type 1 and type 2 diabets.
Diabets type 1 diabets is due to damage to the production of insulin by the pancreas.
Treatment is necessary only with the administration of insulin by injection or orally.   While in type 2 diabets the pancreas is usually still in production, but cells the body does not use insulin so that it appears "the impression of lack of insulin" because high blood sugar. 

Causes of Diabets

The exact cause of diabets is still a mystery that continues examined by experts in various countries in the world. Some experts have reported that there are several factors associated with the occurrence inferred diabets mellitus among them are:
  • Genetics, there was family history of diabets,
  • Overweight or obesity,
  •  Abnormalities of the pancreas,
  • Autoimmune response to insulin,
  • Pregnancy (Gestational) usually recover after childbirth,
  • Consuming certain drugs,
  • Infectious diseases,

Symptoms of Diabets,

Diabets can be established by measuring blood sugar levels with a blood sugar test, which is now widely available. Examination is usually performed during fasting.

The criteria commonly used in the diagnosis of diabets if blood sugar levels are found (mg / dl) were as follows:                 

Normal            Prediabet        Diabet

With Diet        <110                110 - 125         > 125

On time           <110                110 - 200         > 200

WHO Recommendation 2011

HbA1c can be used as a diagnostic test for diabetes providing that stringent quality assurance tests are in place and assays are standardised to criteria aligned to the international reference values, and there are no conditions present which preclude its accurate measurement.
An HbA1c of 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) is recommended as the cut point for diagnosing diabetes. A value of less than 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) does not exclude diabetes diagnosed using glucose tests.
The following is practical guidance in order to help implement WHO guidance in the UK. Final guidance will be produced by the Association for Clinical Biochemistry:
  • Finger-prick HbA1c should not be used unless the methodology and the healthcare staff and facility using it can demonstrate within the national quality assurance scheme that they match the quality assurance results found in laboratories. Finger prick tests must be confirmed by laboratory venous HbA1c in all patients.
  • In patients without symptoms of diabetes repeat the laboratory venous HbA1c. If the second sample is <48 mmol/mol (6.5%) treat as high diabetes risk and repeat the test in 6 months or sooner if symptoms develop.

Situations where HbA1c is not appropriate for diagnosis of diabetes:

  • ALL children and young people
  • Patients of any age suspected of having Type 1 diabetes
  • Patients with symptoms of diabetes for less than 2 months
  • Patients at high diabetes risk who are acutely ill (e.g. those requiring hospital admission)
  • Patients taking medication that may cause rapid glucose rise e.g. steroids, antipsychotics
  • Patients with acute pancreatic damage, including pancreatic surgery
  • In pregnancy
  • Presence of genetic, haematologic and illness-related factors that influence HbA1c and its measurement - see Annex 1 from WHO report 

Patients whose HbA1c is under 48 mmol/mol (6.5%)

  • These patients may still fulfil WHO glucose criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes.
  • Use WHO glucose testing in patients with symptoms of diabetes or clinically at very high risk of diabetes.
  • The use of such glucose tests is not recommended routinely in this situation.

The following is recommended for those at high risk of developing diabetes:

  • High diabetes risk HbA1c 42-47 mmol/mol (6.0 – 6.4%)
    • Provide intensive lifestyle advice
    • Warn patients to report symptoms of diabetes
    • Monitor HbA1c annually
  • HbA1c under 42 mmol/mol (6.0%)
    • These patients may still have high diabetes risk.
    • Review the patient’s personal risk and treat as “high diabetes risk” as clinically indicated.
Common symptoms that often appear as a marker of diabets known as 3P is
  • Polydipsia (much to drink) often feel thirsty,
  • Polyfagia (many Meals) often feel hungry,
  • Polyuria (lots of urine), especially from sleeping at night,
  • Drastic weight loss,
  • Besides easily tired, weakness and drowsiness in fact even in the morning.

Complications of Diabets


Complications are the effects of damage to various organs of the body as a direct and indirect manifestations of uncontrolled blood sugar, usually occurs in the long term will lead to other diseases.
Other diseases will emerge as a result of damage to these organs is greatly feared because it can beakibat death.
This causes diabets is also referred to as "the silent killer". The mechanism of high blood sugar and diabets complications on the organs of the body can be described as follows:
  • Blood cells diabetic people will increase blood viscosity (viscosity) and increased cohesion of blood cells that cause blood to clot easily (aggregation),
  • Thickening of blood vessels due to the inclusion of complex substances in blood sugar mengkibatkan decrease the elasticity of blood vessels, especially the skin and nervous system,
  • Uncontrolled blood sugar will also cause more easy accumulation of fat in the blood vessels (plaque) is called atherosclerosis.
  • Atherosclerosis increased 2-6 times in people with diabets and worsen blood circulation,
  • Poor blood circulation that occurs in large blood vessels (macro) can cause damage to the liver (hepatitis), brain (stroke) and cardiovascular (hypertension and heart attack). This condition is called makroangiopati.
  • Poor circulation in small blood vessels / peripheral (Micro) will cause damage to the eyes (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy) and skin tissue SHG will easily happen that are difficult to heal ulcers.

Treatment of Diabets

Unlikely infectious diseases that require antibiotikm on diabets disease obatpun that no one can completely treat and cure complications. Diabets is often referred to as a disease that can not be fully recovered back as usual just as hard with our changing diet, healthy life style and behavior.
Targeted treatment of diabets mellitus is to be able to control blood sugar levels within the limits of not damaging other organs.
The first and major step in the treatment of diabets is lifestyle modification (Modified Lifestyle). Lifestyle modification has been agreed many national and international experts and has been included in the approved standard therapy in various scientific journals.
  • Lifestyle modification in question is changing habits and healthy lifestyle behaviors multiply physical activity (eg movement of 10,000 Steps to Prevent diabets),
  • Routine and regular exercise,
  • Reduce your intake of sugars (including carbohydrates) through food and drink,
  • Avoid of stress,
  • Lose weight, some experts report as it can lower the risk of diabets.
If exercise and lifestyle modification fails and the blood sugar remains high, please consult your doctor. Step two drugs that lower blood sugar are now many different types and it works even to insulin injections, if needed. There is a lot of work mechanism of oral diabetic medications ranging from working as a carb blocker that works to reduce the intake of glucose decreased the absorption of carbohydrates to which work by increasing insulin production by the pancreas.

Various efforts that are keeping the blood sugar at normal levels is a key target for treatment of diabets as well. In addition to keeping the plant insulin (pancreas) such efforts can be taken in two ways, namely reducing the intake of carbohydrates and glucose include or improve blood glucose burning through regular physical activity and measurable.

During the treatment, monitoring of blood sugar levels periodically and regularly in need as an absolute indicator of treatment success. Obedience and discipline to take medication for the patient as well as maintain the discipline required to absolute dietary and lifestyle modifications are recommended. The third step is the refrain of the excessive stress due to stress assessed will disrupt the balance of hormones in the body.


If you have not experienced the symptoms of a diet, it is very important check of blood sugar and regular periodic basis such as when a birthday today, especially if you or your parents over 35 years old.

So this is all I can share about diabets and treatment of diabets, hopefully by knowing information and tips on handling diabets, we can avoid the diseases and problems that plagues most of the world's population.
