STATISTICS In the Philippines, It is estimated that there are about 3 million Filipinos who are diabetic, 50% are undiagnosed. Another 3 million Filipinos have impaired glucose tolerance which is a risk factor for future diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of the disease in the Asia Pacific region has now reached epidemic proportions. (2013)
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition that makes it difficult for the body to use the glucose (sugar) in the blood. The body normally produces a hormone called insulin. Insulin is produced by the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ found in the tummy area quite close to the stomach. Insulin allows the glucose in our food to be taken from the blood and used by the body for energy. STEM CELLS TO CURE TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS
Stem cell research allows researchers to grow specific varieties of human cells in the lab and research how they behave and interact under different conditions. Stem cells open up a wide spectrum of diabetes research possibilities. Researchers took cells from human intestine cells and disabled a gene which enabled the cells to produce insulin. Stem cells for the treatment of diabetes are able to come from a variety of sources- Embryos, the placenta, umbilical cord, bone marrow, blood cells and teeth.
In the United States, a report says that 2 out 3 (66.6 %) adult Americans, and 15 % of the children, are overweight. In the United States alone, there are about 17 million diabetics. Five to 10 % have Type I (juvenile), and the rest, Type II (adult onset) diabetes. Before insulin was discovered in the early 1920s, type 1 diabetes had 100 % mortality. In the past 10 years, there has been a 33 % increased in the number of diabetic patients. (July 28, 2013)
Type II
The pancreas is not producing enough insulin to meet the bodys needs; or the insulin that is produced is not working very well.
Gestational Diabetes
The extra demands of pregnancy mean that the mother does not have enough insulin to meet her bodys needs.

Older people are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, but there are exceptions to this.

Anyone with a body mass index higher than 25, regardless of age, who has additional risk factors, such as high blood pressure, a sedentary lifestyle, a history of polycystic ovary syndrome, having delivered a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds, a history of diabetes in pregnancy, high cholesterol levels, a history of heart disease, or having a close relative with diabetes.
Anyone older than age 45 is advised to receive an initial blood sugar screening, and then, if the results are normal, to be screened every three years thereafter.
Instructions: a. Wash your hands with warm water and soap. Dry completely. You could also dab or wipe the area with alcohol and then dry completely. Use the lancet to prick your fingertip. Hold your hand down. Hold your finger at the same time until you see a small droplet of blood appear. Place the blood on the test strip. Follow the instructions for placing the test strip and using your meter. Keep a record of your result.

Although it is not
specifically considered a treatment for type 2 diabetes, people with type 2 diabetes who also have a body mass index higher than 35 may benefit from this type of surgery. People who've undergone gastric bypass have seen significant improvements in their blood sugar levels.
EXERCISE
Benefits: Lower blood glucose Better weight control More strength, energy and flexibility Less need for insulin and other medications Lower cholesterol Reduced stress Feeling better about yourself. Before you start, get a checkup
Good forms of aerobic exercise may include: Walking Swimming Biking Dancing Be as consistent as possible. In general: The best time to exercise is about 1- 3 hours after a meal.
