The classic triad of diabetes symptoms is polyuria (lots of urine), polydipsia (drinking a lot) and polyphagia (eating more). These symptoms may develop; a really fast set printed 1, particularly in children (months or weeks) but may be difficult to separate or to completely miss & & mdash; as well as developing the much more slowly & mdash; set printed 2. Set printed 1 [in / to] there may also be weight loss / weight (in addition to the normal or increased eating) and fatigue that can not be reduced anymore. These symptoms may also manifest set printed 2 diabetes in the diabetes patients who are poorly controlled. Initial symptoms related to direct effects of blood sugar levels are high. If blood sugar levels to above 160-180 mg / dL, the glucose will be up to the urine. If the higher levels, the kidneys remove extra water to dilute a large number of glucose is lost. Because the kidneys produce urine in excessive amounts, then the patient often urinate in significant amounts (poliuri).
As a result of the sufferer feel poliuri excessive thirst, so much to drink (polidipsi).
A large number of calories lost into the urine, patients experienced weight loss. To compensate for these patients often feel tremendous hunger so much food (polifagi).
Other symptoms are blurred vision, dizziness, nausea and decreased endurance during exercise. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes are more susceptible to infection.
Because of the severe lack of insulin, so before undergoing treatment with type I diabetes is almost always lose weight. Most type II diabetics do not experience weight loss.
In type I diabetes, symptoms begin suddenly and can develop rapidly into a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis. Sugar levels in the blood is high, but because most of the cells can not use sugar without insulin, so these cells take energy from other sources. Broken down fat cells and produce ketones, which is a toxic chemical that can cause the blood to be acidic (ketoacidosis). The early symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis is thirst and frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and abdominal pain (especially in children). Breathing becomes deep and rapid as the body attempts to improve blood acidity. Patient breath smell like the smell of acetone. Without treatment, diabetic ketoacidosis can progress to coma, sometimes in just a few hours.
Even after starting insulin therapy, type I diabetes can develop ketoacidosis if they missed an insulin injection once or experiencing stress due to infection, accident or serious illness.
Type II diabetes may not show symptoms for several years. If the more severe insulin deficiency, the symptoms arose in the form of frequent urination and thirst. Ketoacidosis is rare. If your blood sugar level is very high (up to more than 1000 mg / dL, usually results from stress-such as infections or drugs), then the patient will experience severe dehydration, which can cause mental confusion, dizziness, convulsions and a condition called coma hiperglikemik-hyperosmolar non-ketotik.

Chocolate Fix DIabetes Blood Work
Chocolate and Diabetes | There's good news for persons with diabetes mellitus - diabetes mellitus or diabetes. Research conducted in the German experts concluded, a cup of chocolate believed to be able to improve the work of blood vessels in diabetes.
In the research, the experts give three cups of chocolate that have been specially formulated every day for a month to have diabetes. The result, their blood vessels which had been severely damaged, returned to normal functioning.
Allegedly, it happened because of flavanol, one of the active substance contained in chocolate. Besides chocolate, antioxidants are also found in some types of vegetables, fruit, green tea, and others. Several other studies have also revealed the health benefits of flavanol for.
In another study, researchers from University Hospital Aachen, Germany, using a chocolate that have been enriched with flavanol. Dr Malte Kelm, who led the research said, flavanol work by increasing production of nitric oxide, a chemical substance in the body that will help limber up and widen blood vessels.
"Person with type II diabetes certainly okay to eat chocolate to their healthy lifestyle, but this study did not aim to encourage diabetes to consume more cocoa," Kelm said.
He added that research shows the flavanol intake may be necessary to prevent the complications of cardiovascular problems in diabetes. (bbchealth / hid / ri)

Red Box of Blood Glucose Lowering
Red betel Piper crocatum Latin language, is now present not only as an ornamental plant, but also traditional medicinal plants diabetic (diabetes mellitus - DM).
Community Sleman, Yogyakarta in particular, have taken advantage of properties of red betel leaf is hereditary. Empirically, in addition to diabetes, red betel leaves are often used as an alternative medicine hemorrhoid, inflammation, cancer, gout, hypertension (blood Cleaner), hepatitis, fatigue and ulcers.
Phytochemical compounds contained in red betel leaf that is alkoloid, saponins, tannins, and flavonoids. According to Ivorra, MD in the book "A Review of Natural Products and Plants as Potential antidiabetic," compound
active alkoloid and flavonoids have hypoglycemic activity or lowering blood glucose levels. Hara (1993) states tannins and saponins compounds can be used as an antimicrobial (bacteria and viruses).
Characteristic of this tropical plants, purplish green round trunked and not flowering. The leaves are heart-stemmed form the top and tapering. Leaves the surface shiny and uneven. As betel green, red betel plants also grow vines on the fence or trees. Leaves a bitter taste vibration, but it smelled more fragrant than the green betel. When torn, the red betel leaves slimy.
Red betel plants like the shade, cool and berhawa sun 60-75 percent. Red betel plants flourish and the good in the mountains. When grown in hot areas, direct sunlight, the stem dries quickly. In addition, the red leaves will fade. And Khasiatnya lies in the possibility of chemical compounds contained in red leaves.
Safe to eat
Young researchers from the Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), Mega Safithri and Farah have examined Fahma toxicity of water extract of red leaves and its ability to lower blood glucose levels of rats.
Making red betel leaf extract is very easy.
A total of 200 grams of red betel leaves boiled with 1 liter of water until the volume is 100 milliliters lives. Comparison of red betel leaves heavy with boiled extract volume of the drink is 200 grams: 100 milliliters or 2: 1.
To check the security level and the side effects that are antiseptic leaves this, Mega toxicity test. Extracts with concentrations 0, 5, 10, 20 grams per kilogram of body weight given orally to each of the six Sparague dawley rats. After seven days pencekokan, the body weight of mice was increased 24 and healthy wal-alfiat. Means, giving doses of the extract up to 20 grams per kilogram of body weight is safe and not toxic (poisonous).
Appropriate dose as militus diabetes drug, could be determined through testing antihiperglikemik on six groups of rats. Each group consisted of four mice. Group A consists mice received 0.9 per cent NaCl induced weight per volume and cekok akuades. Group B contains aloksan rats induced dose 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight and cekok akuades.
In the experiment, rats that suffered accidental millitus diabetes, by giving 150 milligrams aloksan dose per kilogram of body weight.
Group C contains aloksan rats induced dose 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight and antidiabetes drug cekok commercial Daonil 3.22 milligrams per kilogram. Group D, E, F contains aloksan rats induced dose 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight and cekok consecutive red betel leaf extract 100 x dose Daonil, 1000 x Daonil dose, and 20 grams per kilogram of body weight.
The treatment lasted 10 days. The result, blood glucose level group E and F mice showed no significantly different or the same group of normal mice. Red betel leaf extract dose of 20 grams per kilogram of body weight can reduce blood glucose levels for 34 mice, 3 per cent. Penurunnya higher than anti-diabetes drug delivery militus komesial Daonil 3.22 milligrams per kilogram of which only 27 percent lower blood glucose of rats.
The results of this study can be applied to human diabetics. Dose is the patient weight multiplied by 20 grams per kilogram of body weight. If the patient weight multiplied by degan 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. If the patient weight 50 kilograms, he takes 1 kilogram of fresh red betel leaves or 500 ml of boiled water extracts. This can Ektrak taken twice a day every morning and evening as much as 250 ml. However demikina clinical trials in people with diabetes has not been done.

There's Artificial Pancreas for Diabetes Patients!
THE scientist in Cambridge, England, showing artificial pancreas could serve to regulate blood sugar levels in children with type 1 diabetes. The results of this research is a step forward in diabetes research.
In these trials, the scientists combine sensors "real time" which measures glucose levels with insulin pumps that deliver so that they can control blood sugar levels overnight. This will significantly reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (blood sugar too low).
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces only a little insulin or none at all. Without insulin circulating in the blood, the sugar will not be able to enter body cells and will remain in the blood. To replace the insulin the body does not produce it, type 1 diabetics rely on insulin medication or injections.
In research conducted in the UK, 17 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes participated in the study for 54 nights in the hospital. In general, glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps are used in this research is widely used and sold freely.
However, for the patient's condition monitoring system can be deeper, the researchers made a sophisticated algorithm to calculate the amount of insulin delivered based on current glucose levels (real time).
The researchers then measured the work of artificial pancreas to control glucose levels compared with patients who use insulin pumps. In general, artificial pancreas is able to keep blood sugar within normal levels around 60 percent, compared with the insulin pump that only 40 percent.
Since the late 1970s, doctors had to transplant the pancreas. If the transplant is successful, a lot of people with diabetes it does not take insulin or need to frequently measure blood sugar.
However, transplantation is not always successful. In addition to the risks associated with any surgery, there is also a reaction to rejection of new organs. Therefore, the doctors recommend the use of medications and lifestyle changes to control diabetes.
Hopefully, with the success of artificial pancreas test this, open the hope for people with diabetes avoid the dangers of high blood sugar fluctuations.

Treat Diabetes Through Insulin Not Enough
Up to now unknown, treatment for diabetes is done by giving insulin to regulate blood sugar levels within the normal range. However, it is not believed to be providing enough insulin to cure diabetes. Thus disclosed Chairman Metabolic and Endocrine Division, Department of Internal Medicine FK UI, Prof.. Sidartawan Soegondo in Jakarta, earlier this week.
It said Sidarta, insulin-glucose only duty is to enter into the cell. Besides producing insulin, the body also produces glucagon. This hormone has the opposite character of insulin. That is, when the body produces the hormone diabetics insulin is limited then things turned around where the production of the hormone glucagon that increases blood glucose levels contribute to increase.
In a normal person or not diabetes, insulin works to increase cellular glucose retrieval, so a decline in plasma glucose levels. Meanwhile, glucagon working raise plasma glucose levels by increasing liver glucose production (hepatic glucose production - HGP) and gluconeogenesis. The increase in plasma glucose concentration will give a signal for the secretion of insulin and glucagon secretion, which formed a normal glucose balance.
Not only that, in the body there are also hormones that play a role in inkretin regulate blood sugar levels. These hormones consist of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic Polypeptide). Two core of this hormone works to regulate blood glucose control and improve the function of the balance between glucagon and insulin.
"In type 2 diabetes, there is a shortage so inkretin glucagon and insulin balance disturbed. Inkretin likened to the shortage of the key (insulin) to open the door (Glucagon) for glucose into the cell does not fit. This is even more complicated, "he said. Whether or not fitted the key, he added, because inhibition of DPP-4 (Dipeptidly peptidase-4), a type of protein that breaks the system and alpha beta cells in the pancreas.
In addition, he said, disrupted the balance of insulin and glucagon increased lipolisis in the body. Lipolisis is a form of fat solution. Secretion that result in increased fatty acid levels in the blood. If liposis effects of insulin deficiency is accompanied by a heavy can cause ketosis.
Ketosis is the result of incomplete metabolism of fatty acids. Body fragments to form fatty acids into substances called ketones. Ketones are toxic to the body and the body system out through the urine. "This can be dangerous for the kidneys because it can cause kidney failure," he said.
Sidarta then underlines not only limited to diabetes treated with insulin therapy alone. But it is also followed by other therapy that serves to balance the hormones associated with diabetes. "Of course the homework for us, there is much to be learned again," he said.
Comprehensive treatment of food patterns diibaratkanya set. As is known, for people with diabetes should pay attention to three things namely cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar levels, because interconnected with each other.
He gave an example, to keep blood sugar levels so diabetics should minimize the consumption of food that tastes sweet, then this part is considered too salty to control blood pressure. Meanwhile, avoid greasy foods should be done as an effort to prevent high levels of cholesterol in the blood. "If only to avoid sweet, then why would" he said.
According to him, rather than reducing diabetic diet but arranged with the levels of food intake balanced content. "At least it was better because it still has a clear yardstick. Another thing that I think is dangerous because it does not have a dose is smoking, "he concluded. (cr2/rin)

Sweet ending Diabetes
An abscess on the wrist to signal the arrival of deadly diseases. At first, Assia Siti hands itch, and then came endless ulcers healed. At the same time he was quickly exhausted. 'And I ate and drank a lot, how could quickly tired? "He said. Culprit of all health problems are high levels of blood sugar: 650 mg / dl. Normal blood sugar levels of fasting, 126 mg / dl and 2 hours after meals, 200 mg / dl.
Siti Assia absurdly shocked to know their blood sugar levels soar. But eventually he realized: it was the fruit of long habit of this. Understandably, he was a man who likes to eat high-carbohydrate sweets, 'If I had a meeting or seminar, I eat snacks all the sweet,' said the woman was 57 years. Unfortunately, an alumnus of the University of Education Indonesia was practically never exercised because of preoccupations.
Assia Siti lifestyle just Nasir Heni in Jember, East Java, who routinely consume cups of sweet tea every day. The man was 50 years previously felt tired. 'Like no muscle,' he said. In addition he was dizzy, body itching, and staggered. Disturbances that occurred in 3 months. Sliding weight 50 kg live from the previous 75 kg. Lab results showed his blood sugar level 450 mg / dl.
Lifestyle
According to Dr. Aris Wibudi dr SpPD, a specialist in internal medicine hospital Gatot Subroto Jakarta, the main triggers of diabetes mellitus is a bad lifestyle. It means less physical activity and lots of sweet foods and greasy. Sweet foods increase blood sugar levels. Greasy food? Fat-laden fried foods trigger increased body weight. With increasing weight, the body less sensitive to the effects of insulin, so blood sugar levels rise. "
About diet, Aris suggested, 'Look at the amount of food, do not go overboard, avoid greasy foods, and Silah consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid eating anything at least 3 hours before bed,' he said. Such recommendations are not a lifestyle or Nasir Siti Assia. That's why they eventually positive diabetes mellitus.
According to Aris Wibudi many people do not realize that they are actually suffering from diabetes. Initially it does not cause diabetes and pain complaints. Patients are often only hunger, thirst, and frequent urination. 'In one night, time out can be 3-5 times to urinate. If such symptoms appear, you should check your blood sugar to the doctor, "said Aris.

High levels and About Low Blood Sugar
Controlling blood sugar levels
If you have diabetes, you are given the encouragement unutk manage your lifestyle in order to keep blood sugar (glucose) remains smooth as possible, which means avoiding the occurrence graphs and charts ride down.
But life is complicated and there are some things that make blood sugar levels rise and fall. This booklet is designed to assist you in recognizing some of the more common reasons and help you in deciding what to do.
You need to find out what affects blood sugar levels so you can take the appropriate steps to manage it all. The only way to obtain this information is through testing blood sugar regularly.
Avoid recurrence of hypoglycemia:
* Eat on time, do not be late for dinner or eat is the most common cause of hypoglycemia.
* Monitor your blood sugar regularly, dose tablets / insulin may need to be adjusted.
* Perform additional testing if you feel anxious or feel concerned. For example:
o during the night
o Before and after exercise
* Make sure that all your friends and relatives can recognize hypoglycemia and know how to help you.
Berendara and hypoglycemia
Do not drive unless you have tested your blood sugar and only drive if your blood sugar level is fine (okay). Never again did the test and mild makana consume every two hours. Provide snacks and glucose tablets in your car.
What happens when you are sick?
* Your body requires more energy to fight disease or illness, especially if you caught a cold and it produces sugar from the mistress.
* You must keep drinking and get insulin, although you can not eat at all.
* Without insulin, your body will use fat for energy. This causes the rise "ketone bodies" in the blood.
* "It ketone" at high levels can make you feel very unwell
If the blood sugar exceeds 270 Mg / dl on several occasions in succession to eat you must monitor to know "ketone bodies"
Illness - important things to note
* Do not stop get insulin or tablets consumed
* Maintain carbohydrate intake by consuming a little snack, but often. Try the soup or if you can not eat, drink milk or fruit juice.
* Drink lots of water or fluids that are not sweetened so you no longer dehydrated.
* To test your blood sugar levels.
* If you feel anxious and your blood sugar levels rise, or if you vomit ASK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
Discuss the "rules about how to live a day when you are sick" with the doctor so that you know what to do.
Things monitor Ketones
* There are two ways to monitor the "ketone bodies", ie in the urine or blood.
* Tests to "ketone bodies" in the blood has advantages over urine testing. First-mentioned test shows you the level of "ketone bodies" you immediately. Urine test will show you the level of "ketone bodies" in the past.
Normal levels of ketone bodies in the blood is slightly different between someone and someone else. The table below will help you in deciding whether you need to do something and what you should do.
Ketone levels in the blood: Less than 0.6 mmol / L
Action: No need to do something. Continue testing your blood sugar levels as normal.
Ketone levels in the blood: Between 0.6 and 1.5 mmol / L
Action: Test your blood sugar and ketone bodies in blood again within 2 - 4 hours.
Ketone levels in the blood:: Between 1.5 and 3.5 mmol / L
Action: There is a possibility that you are suffering from "diabetic ketoacidosis". Contact the diabetes care team immediately for a consultation.
Ketone levels in the blood: More than 3.5 mmol / L
Action: You need emergency medical treatment immediately. Contact the diabetes care team. If they can not be reached, go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital.
High blood sugar
If you have too much sugar in the blood, then you become hyperglycaemic (too much sugar in the blood sugar). You may feel thirsty, tired, need to urinate frequently or have blurred vision.
Anything that can raise blood sugar levels?
* Not serasinya food and medicine
* That person is ill
* Stress (although this may lower blood sugar in some people).
* Make exercise (if you do not have a sufficient supply of insulin)
* Smoking (it makes you less sensitive to insulin).
Low blood sugar
If your blood sugar level is too low then you can become hypoglycaemic (too little sugar in the blood). You may feel dizzy, shaky, or sweaty.
* Eat or drink something sweet once for your blood sugar levels back up.
* Then eat something that contains carbohydrates such as biscuits or cake layer.
What can lower blood sugar levels?
* You Inject Insulin
* Some tablets diabetes
* Doing exercise
* No or delayed consumption of food or snacks.

Main Causes of Diabetes Kidney Failure
The main causes of a person experiencing chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis services (dialysis) is due to diabetes and high blood.
"If the disease is well controlled through the regular treatment of kidney disease will be prevented or slowed as early as possible," said Chief General Hospital Dialysis Unit Pirngadi Medan, Prof Dr Harun, in Medan on Wednesday.
He said, chronic kidney disease also can increase the risk of heart disease and blood vessel (cardiovascular), which ultimately also the largest cause of death for people with kidney failure.
According to him, actually kidney failure can be prevented if detected early on through blood tests and urine. And the majority of them in developing countries who are at early stages of this disease usually do not know if it has suffered kidney failure.
"For the early detection of kidney irregularities become very important and allows the appropriate treatment before kidney damage or occur as complications manifest perparahan others.
Meanwhile, the head of the Medical Staff of Functional Medicine Pirngadi General Hospital in Medan, dr Zulhelmi, say, the general public is not aware of their kidneys because of the mild, renal impairment is often not perceived.
Disturbance may progress to kidney ultimately does not work anymore.
"Check the doctor, because through the lab with a little blood and urine samples can be known whether kidney function is still normal or already disturbed, so that treatment can be done as early as possible," he said.
He mentioned, early symptoms of kidney failure can be seen as interference of pain on urination, bleeding, out of stone, flank pain, pale and easily tired

Can Diabetes Leads to Blood Wash
Blood sugar levels in people with uncontrolled diabetes can cause various complications. One of the bad conditions and expensive is the cause of kidney failure sufferers forced to wash the blood.
"Most dialysis patients are usually people with diabetes and high blood followed," said Dante Saksono Harbuwono, specialist in diseases of Metabolic and Endocrine Division, University of Indonesia, in the speech arena of diabetes on Women Health Expo, Friday (5/2/2010) .
Just to illustrate, in the American study, 100 percent of dialysis patients, about 43 percent of whom are people with diabetes, 28 percent of people with high blood pressure, and the rest for other diseases.
Chronic diseases
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by blood sugar levels are high. High blood sugar levels were caused by the inability of the body to produce the hormone insulin or ineffective use of insulin production. Blood sugar may rise as food, stress, illness, and certain medications.
Dante said, when blood sugar is not controlled, complications can occur. Complications associated with metabolic changes. In the kidney, for example, an interruption or change in the circulation and filtration functions.
In the kidney there are millions of tiny blood vessels that act as filters to remove waste products from the blood. Blood sugar levels high to make the kidneys filter too much blood.
After a few years, a filter system so that the protein would leak out in the urine. Work kidney weight causes the kidneys lose the ability to filter blood, causing kidney failure. Control of blood sugar and blood pressure will reduce the possibility of kidney damage.
"Blood pressure should also be kept high not because the join effect on function as well," he said. How to keep blood sugar levels and blood pressure, among others, with proper diet, regular exercise, and consumption of drugs if necessary.
Flab
Another complication is the disruption of the heart. Approximately 75-80 percent of deaths in diabetes due to heart failure and blood vessels. This is because the incidence of fatty deposits in blood vessels so that blood flow was delayed. If it happens in the heart blood vessels, can cause a heart attack.
In addition, complications can also happen to other blood vessels in the eye (blindness), genitals, legs, and brain.
Trigger diabetes mellitus, among others, is the lack of motion, overeating, pregnancy, and lack of insulin production. Diabetes can not be cured, but the blood sugar levels can be controlled so that various complications can be prevented.
Dante said, type II diabetes problem more serious. The number of sufferers continues to grow. In Jakarta, for example, in 1980, the prevalence of diabetes of 2.8 per cent and in 2005 to 12.1 percent.
One obstacle is the handling of diabetes patients do not seek the correct information and try to treat themselves. Sufferers, for example, assume, consume the bitter-bitter, like brotowali, pare, or fruit mengkudu, will fight diabetes.
Often times after consuming the materials and do not do people with more control of the disease. Another problem is that people with low compliance. Having no symptoms, then the pattern of living with Asperger's bad back. (INE)
