Patients are Seeking Physicians
If you are a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or a diabetes educator working with a physician who supports the concept that diabetics are entitled to the same blood sugars as non-diabetics and the treatments advocated in DIABETES SOLUTION, and would like referrals, read more...
Every time I try to tell a patient to exercise they moan and complain, but when I say get more physical activity they all ask "what's that. This week Gwen Stubenhofer, RN, BSN, ACLS-Instructor explains what that means and how she encourages patients to get more of it. You can print and hand out this special feature, so the patient will have an easy way to keep it all straight. Physical Activity - A Little Can Be A Lot
Last week I had a patient tell me that since she switched to lactose free milk her blood glucose started going out of control. The reason for this is found, strangely enough, in this weeks feature by Richard K. Bernstein, M.D., F.A.C.E., F.A.C.N., FCCWS, when he discusses Treating Low Blood Sugars When Your Stomach Is Slow To Empty
Where is diabetes research headed? A most recent analysis of emerging diabetes drugs and targets revealed that of the 59 different treatment modalities in clinical development, the majority (36) were metabolic approaches. Preservation of the pancreatic islet cell mass and function as well as intents to regenerate beta cells represent an area of increasing activity and relevance with eleven different programs in clinical stages. Cell therapy is gaining momentum in corporate diabetes programs as islet transplant or stem cell approaches. At least eight clinical stage programs aim at limiting inflammation leading to beta cell destruction and, thus, also preserve mass and function.
Right now two classes of emerging metabolic approaches stand out from the remainder: the glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin release or secretion by glucokinase activators or direct activation of the GPR119 receptor by inhibition of the 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehyrogenase type 1. Looks like we are going to get some new weapons to help us try to win the battle!

Diabetes In Control Log
Having your patients use a log to monitor glucose, carbs, medications and activity can have a major impact on their control. Studies have shown that if patients monitor and write down their numbers, they will make the necessary changes to improve their control. Try it for a couple of patients and see the results. Diabetes in Control Log
