Is it possible to delay the onset of overt diabetes in my patient with daily use of metformin hydrochloride or one of the glitazones? Also, if these drugs have a beneficial effect on blood lipid levels, why are they not used for that purpose?

As a person with diabetes, you are not alone – there are many people in
the United States with this chronic disease. Diabetes can affect various
organs and systems of your body, causing them not to function properly,
and making you more susceptible to infection. For example:
• Your immune system, when functioning properly, readily fights off
harmful bacteria and other pathogens that cause infection. With
diabetes, your immune system may not readily recognize harmful
bacteria or other pathogens. This delay in the body’s natural response
to foreign invasion places a person with diabetes at increased risk for
infection.
• Your gastrointestinal tract, when functioning properly,
allows the foods and beverages you consume to be
digested normally. Diabetes may damage the cells
that create stomach acid and the nerves that help
your stomach and intestinal tract move the food
throughout the intestinal tract. Because of this
damage, your stomach may hold on to the food and
beverages you consume for a longer period of time,
allowing harmful bacteria and other pathogens to
grow.
• Additionally, your kidneys, which work to cleanse
the body, may not be functioning properly and
may hold on to harmful bacteria, toxins, and other
pathogens.

A consequence of having diabetes is that it may
leave you more susceptible to developing infections – like those that
can be brought on by disease-causing bacteria and other pathogens that
cause foodborne illness. Should you contract a foodborne illness, you are
more likely to have a lengthier illness, undergo hospitalization, or even
die. To avoid contracting a foodborne illness, you must be vigilant when
handling, preparing, and consuming foods.

Spanish-language diabetes education video aimed at Latinos with diabetes. In segment 4, “Vigilando mis valores” (”Watching my levels”), diabetics discuss the importance of monitoring blood glucose levels using a meter. Background “Viva mas y major con su diabetes bajo control!” Live longer and better with your diabetes under control! It’s the title and focus of a new video produced by the Emory Latino Diabetes Education Program (ELDEP) aimed at empowering patients to live their healthiest by controlling their diabetes. The video, which took two years to complete, is the brainchild of Guillermo E. Umpierrez, MD, professor of medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism at Emory University School of Medicine, and chief of Diabetes and Endocrinology at Grady Memorial Hospital. “In places where diabetes education in Spanish is unavailable, this tool will provide patients living with diabetes with critically important information about diabetes self-management,” says Umpierrez. To obtain copies of the “Viva mas y major… con su diabetes bajo control!” DVD or for more information on the Emory Latino Diabetes Education Program, call (US) 404-778-1697.

Product Description
Diabetes is a disease that affects the way your body uses food. Normally, your body converts sugars, starches and other foods into a form of sugar called glucose. Your body uses glucose for fuel. The cells receive the glucose through the bloodstream. They then use insulin (a hormone made by the pancreas) to absorb the glucose, convert it into energy, and either use it or store it for later use. In diabetes, something goes wrong with this process. Food is changed into glucose, but either your body doesn’t make enough insulin or it can’t properly use the insulin it produces. When the glucose is unable to enter the cells, it begins to build up in the bloodstream. High blood-glucose levels, or as they’re
sometimes known – high blood-sugar levels, are one of the main signs of undiagnosed diabetes. The goal of treatment for all types of diabetes is to keep blood sugar at or near normal levels.
