Over the past decade, the list of type 2 diabetes medications has grown -- helping people gain better blood sugar control. But the drugs' side effects -- plus taking several pills every day -- can be frustrating.
"There are two problems with diabetes," explains Ronald Goldberg, MD, associate director of the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami Medical Center. "Your body doesn't make enough insulin. And your organs are resistant to using insulin that is produced."
If lowering high blood sugar is the primary goal, today's diabetes drugs do their job "but only to a limited extent," Goldberg tells WebMD. "Even when patients respond to one drug, they will need more and more drugs over time, as the pancreas deteriorates."
Fortunately for many, advances in treatment are helping to make a difference, giving people with type 2 diabetes a growing list of options, including:
Complex new drugs, like Byetta, which is taken by injection but is not insulin. It attacks high blood sugar from multiple angles and suppresses appetite. "Byetta is a real advance," says Stephen Davis, MD, chief of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.
Januvia is a novel drug that works with gut hormones, natural enzymes, and the body's own insulin to control blood glucose.
Several two-drug combination pills have been approved by the FDA in the past two years -- reducing the number of pills people must take. The well-known drug metformin is now available in an extended-release, once- or twice-a-day dosage -- without bothersome intestinal side effects.
Symlin a synthetic form of a hormone made and secreted from the pancreas which help lowers blood sugars after meals.Metformin has long been the workhorse of the oral diabetes drugs. Metformin "mostly works by preventing the liver from releasing too much sugar," Goldberg explains.
He says metformin is good at controlling glucose. "And it's a drug that does not cause weight gain. Also, the generic version is less expensive for patients. For all those reasons, metformin is usually the medication we start patients on."
However, because of side effects -- gas, bloating, and diarrhea -- some people have trouble tolerating metformin in its standard form, says Davis.
Extended-release metformin takes care of that problem. The drug has fewer side effects, says Davis, "and is absolutely an advance ... much better tolerated."
The new combination medications join metformin with other well-known diabetes drugs. Sulfonylureas like Amaryl and Glucophage help stimulate the pancreas to make more insulin. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) like Actos and Avandia help "sensitize" fat and muscle cells, making them more responsive to the body's natural insulin, thus overcoming insulin resistance. However, the FDA has restricted Avandia for use in new patients only if they can't control their blood sugar on other medications and are unable to take Actos. Current users can continue Avandia if they choose to do so. All patients using Avandia must review and fully understand the cardiovascular risks.
If you have type 2 diabetes, you know that blood sugar control, a balanced diet, weight management, regular exercise, and checkups are vital to your health. Taking special care of every part of your body to avoid serious complications is just as critical.
Among some of your biggest concerns with diabetes care are:
Foot infectionsChronic skin infectionsGum disease and tooth lossVision problemsHeart disease and blood circulation problemsThe need to take care of yourself isn't just for adults; with the epidemic of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes has also become more prevalent among children, teens, and young adults.
"In hospitals, we're seeing first-time patients in their late 20s and 30s who have uncontrolled blood sugar and severe skin infections that probably started as a boil or a spider bite," says Philip Orlander, MD, director of endocrinology at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston.
How can diabetes so dramatically damage the body? If blood sugar is uncontrolled, blood vessels and nerves become damaged, while the body becomes less able to fight infections.
Controlling blood sugar is the bottom line in preventing these problems, but personal care routines -- simple things you can do every day -- can dramatically reduce your risks, too.
Your feet, skin, eyes, heart, and teeth and gums need special attention if you have diabetes. Here are steps you can take to care for these parts of your body:
1. Foot Care and Diabetes
Common foot problems can cause many complications, including athlete's foot, fungal infections in nails, calluses, corns, blisters, bunions, dry skin, sores, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, and plantar warts.
While anyone can have these problems, they're more critical for people with diabetes because:
If you have nerve damage, you may not feel small wounds that need treatment.Poor blood flow can slow wound healing.If you're immune suppressed, you may be more prone to infection.Damaged foot muscle nerves may prevent your foot from aligning properly, causing you to put more pressure on one area of the foot, leading to foot sores and pressure point ulcers.Prevention tips: Make time for foot care daily. Wash, dry and examine the tops and bottoms of your feet. Check for cracked skin, cuts, scratches, wounds, blisters, redness, calluses, and other changes. Use antibiotic creams recommended by your doctor and apply sterile bandages to protect cuts. Prevent ingrown toenails by cutting toenails straight across; don't cut corners. Don't go barefoot and always protect your feet. Make sure you wear properly fitting footwear.
If you develop even minor foot problems, treat them right away or see a doctor. And see a foot doctor (podiatrist) every two or three months.
Checking your feet daily means you can catch small things and get them treated before they become serious. Make it part of your daily morning routine -- it doesn't take long.
Oct. 26, 2010 -- A new study suggests eating foods rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as salmon and nuts, may help prevent gum disease or periodontitis.
Periodontitis is a common type of gum disease in which the gum tissue separates from the teeth and allows bacteria to build up. If untreated, the condition can lead to bone and tooth loss.
Researchers found that people whose diets were rich in PUFAs were as much as 30% less likely to have gum disease than those who ate little or none of this type of fat.
“We found that n-3 fatty acid intake, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are inversely associated with periodontitis in the U.S. population,” says researcher Asghar Z. Naqvi, MPH, MNS, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, in a news release.
"A dietary therapy, if effective, might be a less expensive and safer method for the prevention and treatment of periodontitis," says Naqvi. “To date, the treatment of periodontitis has primarily involved mechanical cleaning and local antibiotic application."
Researchers say polyunsaturated fats have already been shown to have beneficial effects on other types of inflammatory conditions, such as heart disease, and they may also play a role in fighting the inflammation that causes gum disease.
"Given the evidence indicating a role for n-3 fatty acids in other chronic inflammatory conditions, it is possible that treating periodontitis with n-3 fatty acids could have the added benefit of preventing other chronic diseases associated with inflammation, including stroke as well,” says Naqvi.
In the study, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, researchers compared fatty acid intake and risk of gum disease in 9,182 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2004.
The results showed those who ate moderate to high amounts of the fatty acid DHA through diet or fish oil supplements were up to 30% less likely to have gum disease than those who ate lower amounts. Those whose diets were rich in the EPA had up to a 23% lower risk of periodontitis.
Researchers found that even modest levels of these PUFAs (equivalent to less than 40 milligrams per day for DHA and 10 milligrams per day for EPA) were enough to significantly reduce the risk of gum disease.
Foods that are naturally high in polyunsaturated fatty acids like DHA and EPA include fatty fish, nuts, margarine, and peanut butter.
Oct. 27, 2010 -- Drinking one or two sugar-sweetened beverages a day increases diabetes risk by 26%, a study shows.
In the new analysis, researchers pooled the findings of 11 previously published studies including more than 320,000 participants, attempting to assess the ''big picture."
"Drinking sugar-sweetened beverages is certainly and consistently associated with an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome," says researcher Vasanti Malik, ScD, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, elevated fasting blood sugar, high triglycerides, low HDL, and large waist size, increases the risk of developing diabetes.
The researchers took into account sugar-sweetened soft drinks, fruit drinks, iced tea, and energy and vitamin water drinks. Beverages that are 100% fruit juice without added sweeteners were not counted as sugar-sweetened beverages in the research.
By pooling the results of previously published studies, Malik says, the researchers hoped to provide an overall picture of how great the risk is and how consistent the evidence. "We pooled all these studies and came up with one overall measure of association," she tells WebMD.
Habitual drinkers -- those drinking one to two sugar-sweetened beverages a day on average -- had a 26% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and a 20% increased risk for developing metabolic syndrome compared to those who drank the beverages once a month or not at all, Malik says.
Eight of the studies looked at diabetes risk and three at metabolic syndrome risk. Participants in the diabetes studies totaled 310,819, with 15,043 cases of type 2 diabetes. In the metabolic syndrome studies, there were 19,431 participants and 5,803 cases of metabolic syndrome.
In the 11 studies, ages ranged from 21 to 84; the follow-up period ranged from four to 20 years.
Nearly 18 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association; most have type 2 diabetes, in which the body doesn't make enough of the hormone insulin or doesn't use it effectively. Insulin takes sugar from the blood to the cells.
The risk of developing type 2 diabetes varies from person to person, depending on such factors as family history, ethnicity, weight, and age.
The link between sugar-sweetened beverages and diabetes and metabolic syndrome risk can be partially explained by the weight gain that can result from drinking the sugar-sweetened beverages, which in turn boosts type 2 diabetes risk, the researchers say. The sugar-sweetened drinks can also raise blood sugar and insulin concentrations quickly, in turn leading to insulin resistance and and higher risk of diabetes, according to the researchers.
The new analysis finds only correlations, not cause and effect, between sugar-sweetened beverages and diabetes, says Maureen Storey, PhD, senior vice president for science policy for the American Beverage Association, the trade association representing companies making non-alcoholic drinks.
Oct. 27, 2010 -- High blood pressure is a major health problem in the U.S., but the good news is that the number of people who know they have the condition has been increasing dramatically, the CDC says in a new report.
A health concern in the U.S. for years has been a lack of awareness among many people with high blood pressure that they have the condition.
But the CDC says the percentage of people who know they have high blood pressure has increased from 69.6% in 1999-2000 to 80.6% in 2007-2008.
Also, the percentage of people with high blood pressure taking medications for the condition increased from 60.2% in 1999-2000 to 73.7% in 2007-2008, according to CDC.
This apparently accounts for the finding by researchers that the percentage of people whose blood pressure was controlled in the past decade also increased among all population subgroups.
Though medication is helping people control blood pressure, the prevalence of adults with the condition has held steady in the past 10 years for men and women, all adult age groups, non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican-Americans.
The CDC report says high blood pressure is one of the most common risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke, affecting about 30% of U.S. adults.
Among other key findings:
The percentage of adults who have controlled blood pressure increased from 30.3% in 1999-2000 to 48.4% in the most recent period.The percentage of hypertensive adults who brought their blood pressure under control increased significantly over the decade among men and women, all adult age groups, and three major race and ethnic groups.The prevalence of high blood pressure among adults remained higher over the 10-year period for non-Hispanic blacks, compared with non-Hispanic whites and Mexican-Americans.High blood pressure awareness increased among adults between 40 and 59 and 60 and over, but not among people 18 to 39. Awareness did not increase among Mexican-Americans over the 10-year period.
The percentage of people with high blood pressure taking medication to lower it increased for those 18 to 39 and 60 and over, but not for people 40 to 59, the CDC report says.
The report suggests that efforts to inform the public about the dangers of high blood pressure are succeeding, but that there is room for improvement because hypertension remains a major problem in the U.S.
“We are now seeing more people being treated with medication, particularly younger people,” Nieca Goldberg, MD, director of the Women’s Heart Program and clinical associate professor at NYU Langone Medical Center, says in a statement about the CDC report. “There has to be a greater effort to impress healthy lifestyles on young people because long standing hypertension can lead to heart attack, stroke and heart failure.”
Holidays, stress, post-holidays, even more stress -- who has time for taking care of ourselves?
You do! Resolve to follow these eight diet, exercise, and lifestyle tips, and you can be good to yourself this winter - and all year long.
It's creamy smooth, packed with flavor -- and just may be the wonder food you've been craving. Research suggests that that humble carton of yogurt may:
Help prevent osteoporosisReduce your risk of high blood pressureAid gastrointestinal conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and constipationReady to take home a few cartons of yummy yogurt? When buying think low-fat, make sure the yogurt contains active cultures and vitamin D, and keep tabs on sugar content.
Getting hit with heartburn over the holidays? Help is at hand! Try these hints and you can stop the burn before it starts:
Nibble: Enjoy your favorite foods -- but in moderation. No need to heap on the goodies (or go back for seconds and thirds!). Packing your stomach with food makes heartburn much more likely.
Know Your Triggers: Certain foods feed heartburn's flame. Typical triggers include foods full of sugar and fat -- think pumpkin pie slathered with whipped cream. Instead reach for complex carbs like veggies and whole-wheat breads -- or at least share that dessert!
Get Up: Stretching out for a nap post-meal is a great way to guarantee you'll get reflux. Instead, keep your head higher than your stomach -- or keep right on walking, away from the dinner table and out the door. Light exercise is a great way to prevent heartburn.
Holidays: That busy time for toasting the coming year, savoring seasonal sweets, staying up late -- and cold sores?
If you find you're more prone to cold sores (also called fever blisters) during the hectic holiday season, you may be your own worst enemy. That's because lack of sleep, too much alcohol or sugar, stress, and close physical contact (think auntie's smooches) can all contribute to outbreaks.
So, to help keep your kisser cold-sore-free this year -- or to keep from passing your cold sores to others -- try these tips:
Don't overdo the holiday goodies -- maintain a healthy diet.Get plenty of rest.Wash your hands.Don't share food or drink containers.Discard used tissues.Don't kiss on or near anyone's cold sore -- and don't let them near yours!The bad weather, the seasonal pace, work: If this time of year has your stress meter spiking, it may be time to close your eyes, breathe ... and get a little repetitive.
Repetition is at the heart of meditation's soothing power. The act of banishing thoughts, focusing on your breathing, and repeating a single word or phrase, fires up your body's natural relaxation response.
And meditation can do more than soothe away stress. Research shows it may help lower blood pressure, boost immunity, reduce PMS symptoms, even aid in fertility and the delivery of a new mom's milk.
