Emergence of a New Treatment for Diabetics in UAE
Many people around the world are aware that diabetes is just related with sugar. When the sugar level increase, human beings develop diabetes. Is this information ample? NO. This is all what people may know of diabetes. But the truth is far behind this. Body needs glucose but sometimes, this glucose becomes unable to process the sugar that it takes from the food that we eat. That is the stage when we, human beings develop diabetes since the body is left unable to process sugar with efficiency. If a person may know the symptoms of diabetes then he can cure himself in the initial stages of the disease by getting proper treatment and can also avoid serious complications. The disease may well be avoided with proper diet and regular exercise.
In United States, almost 7% of people suffer with diabetes and the number of patients developing diabetes is expected to increase by 12% or 5 million people by 2050. Even our western population including one million Canadians are affected by the disease.
There are 3 forms of the disease. To name them, there are 1) Type 1 diabetes, 2) type 2 diabetes and 3) gestational diabetes. 1) If no more insulin is being produced in the body, we develop type 1 diabetes, 2) if the insulin is not being used effectively by the body, we develop type 2 diabetes, 3) gestational diabetes develops in women while their pregnancy period. Excessive thirst, blurred vision, excessive hunger, and excessive frequent urination are some of the symptoms of diabetes. A balanced diet and regular exercise are crucial in the way to control diabetes but still insulin shots and other drugs acquire a place for some people having the disease. Various other herbs are also helpful in blocking its further effects.
Diabetes can be corrected with the help of various other measures. UAE has discovered a new drug of late for the purpose of treating diabetes. This drug named ‘Byetta (Exenatide) is the artificial version of a toxin secreted by the Gila monster which is a lizard, specie native to the US. This drug comes as a measure to regulate the sugar level of blood. United States have the availability of this drug as of 2005 being used by various people worldwide.
Byetta drug is also useful in relieving from obesity and is given in the form of injection. Therefore it is used by everyone who falls in type 2 diabetes category as those patients are heavily overweight and their bodies are overly sensitive and cant bear oral medications. No one would prefer gaining weight that is why they would opt for Byetta as irrespective of other medications this drug helps in reducing weight. Byetta is based on glucose and hence helps in regulating the level of sugar. That way byetta helps in restraining from insulin related problems and thereby hypoglycemia. It helps in meeting the desires of a patient with respect to hunger as it regulates their appetite as well in controlling the sugar level when it acts as a hormone.
Diabetes has become a vast spreading disease of our society. For the purpose of defending the disease and bringing down the number of patients of diabetes, best of treatments known worldwide are being brought forward. Byetta seems easily available in one of the 1st countries of Middle East which is UAE.
Type 2 diabetes patients are the ones whose body suffers with decreased or inaccessible incretion of hormones. Southwest desert of USA and Mexico is famous for a poisonous monster lizard known as Gila. Type 2 diabetes is most effectively controlled with the help of toxin which this disastrous monster secretes. The above mentioned drug ‘Byetta’ helful in treating diabetes type 2, is the synthetic version of the toxin. A new treatment has been developed with Byetta Known as Incretin mimetics. Incretion of hormones is useful in increment of insulin and regulating the blood sugar level. Gut in the bloodstream releases the Incretin.
