But, in order to sell antidepressants to diabetic patients, either answer will serve corporate purposes. If both doctors and FDA can be "convinced" that lowering Ale and blood glucose standards is necessary, the market for "prediabetes" and depression explode. This recognition by Lilly, coupled with recent health news reports, is certainly business as usual — transacted at the patients' ever increasing expense. Patrick Lustman, a psychologist at Washington University School of Medicine in St.

They did this WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE that some diabetic patients could not take human insulin. How this can be considered anything but criminal behavior? If I slip a cyanide pill into your dish of ice cream, knowing full well that cyanide is poisonous, is there little doubt that I will be charged with murder when you die? Diabetic Deaths Keep Going Up Diabetes, like many chronic diseases, has a cause which is unknown. A cure is always waiting just over the horizon.

Richard Bernstein, who, one might say jokingly, "never met a carb he didn't dislike," allows oatmeal once a day for his diabetic patients. And of course, it's been a staple of the high-carb folks for decades. I can still remember seeing the bodybuilders at Gold's Gym with their Tupperwares full of the stuff, usually mixed with scrambled eggs. So what is it about oatmeal that makes it go to the head of the list for everyone's favorite health foods? Let's start with fiber.

In a year-long study, 600 mg daily of silymarin reduced blood-sugar levels in seriously ill diabetic patients by 9.5 to 15 percent. The patients also benefited from lower levels of sugar in the urine, lower HbAlc levels, and lower insulin requirements. Other studies have found similar benefits. For prediabetes, we recommend 100 mg with meals two or three times daily. Vitamin D. In recent years, vitamin D deficiencies have commonly been found in the general population. People who are overweight or those with diabetes are especially susceptible to vitamin D deficiency.

Sometimes doctors ask type 2 diabetic patients to inject themselves with insulin to control blood-sugar levels, but extra amounts of insulin boost their risk of developing heart disease and cancer. Insulin also increases levels of Cortisol, the body's principal stress hormone, and C-reactive protein, a promoter and a marker of inflammation. This relationship between insulin and CRP is significant for two reasons. One, inflammation aggravates many of the complications of diabetes, including kidney and eye disease.

Although vitamin E was shown in animal studies to be beneficial for hypertension,175- 176 a human trial found that relatively modest doses, 500 IU mixed tocopherols per day for six weeks, led to an increase in blood pressure and heart rate in diabetic patients.177 A very large study, called the HOPE trial, had a significant influence in diminishing the role of vitamin E for cardioprotection in the minds of many consumers and practitioners. In women and men, 55 years of age or older, who were at high risk for cardiovascular disease, treatment with 400 IU vitamin E per day for an average of 4.

In a study involving 185 adult-onset diabetic patients, there were significant decreases in the concentration of fasting and 2-hour glucose levels, insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and total cholesterol among patients supplemented with 1000 meg of chromium picolinate compared to those on 200 meg of chromium picolinate or placebo. Thus, chromium as part of the LMWCr should have the ability to improve glucose tolerance and increase insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients with poor glucose control. Depression: Taking 500 meg daily of chromium has antidepressant therapeutic properties.

Diabetic patients are warned to be aware of individual patient differences. (This is Lilly lawyers playing the "cover your ass" game with diabetics' lives.) The same sorts of problems prevented Novo from even labeling any human insulins as UL for many years and created the need for the insulin-like hormone, Lantus, and the fast introduction of it to the U.S., widening the insulin oligopoly from two to three players. A significant peak at 12 hours and a greater risk of macro blood vessel damage could put the patient in harm's way if the UL Human is split into two doses.

In the German study, fewer diabetic patients taking Lipitor had heart attacks or died from heart disease, but more of them died from stroke than those who had taken sugar pills. Dr. Robinson argued that the researchers should have looked only at the heart disease data and ignored the slightly higher death rate from stroke. The German scientists were blunt in their reply to Dr. Robinson's suggestion that they selectively report their data so that Pfizer's product, also known as atorvastatin, looked beneficial.

In another study, fifty-four diabetic patients were treated with 500-600 mg per day of an extract for eight to thirty-three months. Almost total normalization of collagen polymers was achieved, as well as a 30 percent decrease in structural glycoprotein.196 Dosage: Prepare bilberry tea as an infusion, using one teaspoon of dried berries in 1 cup of water. Drink one cup per day. For blood glucose control, make a tea from 2/3 cup of leaves in 2 cups of water boiled for 25 minutes, and drink 2 cups daily.

Results from the Finnish Multicenter Insulin Therapy Study, in which 100 insulin-treated type 2 diabetic patients were followed for 12 months, showed that good glycemic control started to deteriorate after 3 months and more so in the obese subjects, the latter being attributed to their greater insulin resistance. Glycemic control was best achieved in the nonobese subjects whether with insulin alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents. However, the combination therapy was associated with less weight gain [181].

Minerals play a very important role, and we see specific deficiencies of magnesium, manganese, zinc, chromium, vanadium, and potassium in diabetic patients. These deficiencies could be a result of the blood hyperosmolality and the minerals being lost with excessive urination, in an attempt to get the sugar out of the system. There may be other reasons as well.

In the diabetic patients with CAD, fenugreek also significantly lowered total cholesterol and triglyceride levels.179 In another study, defatted fenugreek seed powder was given to insulin-dependent diabetes patients at 100 g daily in two divided doses over ten days. The treated group exhibited a 54 percent decrease in twenty-four-hour urine excretion of glucose, as well as a reduction in total cholesterol.180 Fenugreek seeds are also 55 percent fiber, so they slow down the rapid absorption of glucose.

A retrospective study of Type-1 and Type-2 diabetic patients found that current or ex-smokers were significantly more likely to have neuropathy than individuals who never smoked (64.8 percent compared to 42.8 percent).80 A later study found that cigarette smoking was associated with a twofold increase in risk.81 Studies also show that smoking increases the chances of developing gum disease, a contributing factor in poor glycemic control. In fact, smokers are five times more likely than nonsmokers to have gum disease. For smokers with diabetes, the risk is even greater.

Neuropathy, a major etiologic component of most diabetic ulcerations, is present in more than 82 percent of diabetic patients with foot wounds.129 The incidence of gangrene is twenty times higher as compared to nondiabetics, and the risk of lower extremity amputation is fifteen to forty-six times higher in diabetics than in people who do not have diabetes mellitus.130'131 STAGE 6: INDURATION Induration means a hardening or scarring of tissues. Induration is the result of long-standing, chronic inflammation with bouts of acute inflammation interspersed.

Additional research has confirmed that when walnuts are eaten as part of a modified low-fat diet, the result is a more cardioprotective fat profile in diabetic patients than can be achieved by simply lowering the fat content of the diet. In a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, all fifty-five study participants with Type-2 diabetes were put on low-fat diets, but the only group to achieve a cardioprotective fat profile were those who ate walnuts (30 grams—about one ounce—per day).70 Other studies have found similar results.71'72'73'74 Dr.

It would be prudent for physicians who treat diabetic patients to consider magnesium deficiency as a probable contributing factor in many diabetic complications, as a main factor in exacerbation of the disease itself, and replenishment as a normal and customary first response. The transdermal repletion of the patient's magnesium levels with magnesium chloride mineral therapy58 is the ideal way of administering magnesium in medically therapeutic doses.
