Treatment for Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes

We have heard of diabetes and some may even know in detail what it is about, but many are still unaware that there is a condition called pre-diabetes. Someone is said to be in pre-diabetes condition when his or her blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Therefore, pre diabetes is also known as borderline diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or impaired fasting glucose (IFG).

People who are with this condition are considered as in the ‘gray zone’ where they are neither normal nor diagnosed diabetic. However, they are at high risk of developing full-blown type 2 diabetes with all its complications if precautionary measures are not taken immediately.

Treatment for Diabetes?

Healthy eating, physical activity, and insulin injections are the basic therapies for type 1 diabetes. The amount of insulin taken must be balanced with food intake and daily activities. Blood glucose levels must be closely monitored through frequent blood glucose testing.


People with diabetes must take responsibility and keep blood glucose levels from going too low or too high.The diabetic should see Specialized Doctors to get the health care they need.

Endocrinologist Doctor who specialize in diabetes care
Ophthalmologist Doctor for eye examinations
Podiatrist for routine foot care
Dietitians and Diabetes Educators who teach the skills needed for daily diabetes management

Is there a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes?

No, there is no cure for Diabetes. But there are several solutions.

Several solutions to “cure” diabetes are currently under investigation:
Pancreas transplantation
Islet cell transplantation (islet cells produce insulin)

Each of these approaches still has a lot of challenges, such as preventing immune rejection; finding an adequate number of insulin cells; keeping cells alive; and others. But progress is being made in all areas and the researching a cure for Diabetes is always being researched.

Now the door has opened up with endless possibilities and with talks now going on with some major sponsors and events taking place this ride was just the start I cant say much until contracts are signed and agreements reached but its far more than I could have every imagined and with the right people behind me everybody will be happy.
