Monitoring T cells could prevent type 1 diabetes

#tcell #TCellMonitoring #Type1Diabetes
Scripps Research scientists have shown that analyzing a certain type of immune cell in the blood can help identify 1people at risk of developing type diabetes, a life-threatening autoimmune disease. The new approach, if validated in further studies, could be used to select suitable patients for treatment that stops the autoimmune process—making type 1 diabetes a preventable condition.

In the study, which appeared in Science Translational Medicine, the researchers isolated T cells (a type of immune cell) from mouse and human blood samples. By analyzing the T cells that can cause type 1 diabetes, they were able to distinguish the at-risk patients who had active autoimmunity from those who had no significant autoimmunity—with 100% accuracy in a small sample.

Reversing Type 2 diabetes starts with ignoring the guidelines | Sarah Hallberg | TEDxPurdueU

diabetes No Comments »

Can a person be “cured” of Type 2 Diabetes? Dr. Sarah Hallberg provides compelling evidence that it can, and the solution is simpler than you might think.

Dr. Sarah Hallberg is the Medical Director of the Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program at IU Health Arnett, a program she created. She is board certified in both obesity medicine and internal medicine and has a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology. She has recently created what is only the second non-surgical weight loss rotation in the country for medical students. Her program has consistently exceeded national benchmarks for weight loss, and has been highly successful in reversing diabetes and other metabolic diseases. Dr. Hallberg is also the co-author of www.fitteru.us, a blog about health and wellness.

What are the symptoms of diabetes? With one in 15 of us now living with condition in the UK, it’s more important than ever to know the signs and symptoms to look out for.

We hope you enjoy this short animation to raise awareness and get more people talking about the signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Common symptoms of diabetes include:

– Going to the toilet a lot, especially at night.
– Being really thirsty.
– Feeling more tired than usual.
– Losing weight without trying to.
– Genital itching or thrush.
– Cuts and wounds take longer to heal.
– Blurred eyesight.

We are Diabetes UK. Our vision is a world where diabetes can do no harm.

We’re leading the fight against the UK’s biggest and growing health crisis. And it’s a fight that involves us all – sharing knowledge and taking on diabetes together.

Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is diagnosed through laboratory blood tests: the fasting blood glucose test, hemoglobin A1c test, and the oral glucose tolerance test. Serious complications arise with type 2 diabetes, if not diagnosed early, or if inadequately controlled. Regular check-ups and monitoring are stressed, as these can help delay or prevent many diabetes complications.

Diabetes mellitus (type 1, type 2) & diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)

What is diabetes mellitus? Diabetes mellitus is when there’s too much glucose, a type of sugar, in the blood. Diabetes mellitus can be split into type 1, type 2, as well as a couple other subtypes, including gestational diabetes and drug-induced diabetes.

Misconception #7: Diabetes is Contagious.

diabetes No Comments »

Type 1 diabetes is a genetic, auto-immune disorder. You can not “catch” diabetes from anyone. Lol. 😛

Developed and produced for http://www.MDPracticeGuide.com, a CME resource for physicians and healthcare providers.

Animation Description: Under normal circumstances, bacterial infection results in the release of chemokines that attract circulating neutrophils to the endothelium. This process is known as chemotaxis.

A variety of molecules are expressed on the endothelial cell surface that allow the neutrophil to be captured, then roll along the endothelium, then adhere.

Following adherence, the neutrophil migrates into the subendothelial tissue to reach the site of infection.

The neutrophil engulfs the bacteria and eliminates them via breakdown within the phagosomes — a process known as phagocytosis.

In states of hyperglycemia, chemotaxis is reduced. Adherence is also adversely affected.
Phagocytosis is also impaired by hyperglycemia.

Hyperglycemia also adversely affects the macrophage system. Under normal circumstances, circulating monocytes are attracted to sites of infection, roll, adhere, and then migrate into the subendothelial space. The monocyte then transforms into a macrophage.

which is then activated by cytokines released by the bacteria. The activated macrophage then engulfs the bacteria.

However, hyperglycemia results in decreased activation of macrophages, thereby arresting the process of macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria.

In addition to affecting neutrophil and macrophage function, hyperglycemia also affects the complement cascade. Under situations of normal glycemia, bacteria can activate the complement cascade.

Activation of the complement cascade results in the formation of transmembrane protein channels known as membrane attack complex (MAC) in bacterial membrane.

Membrane attack complexes make the bacterial membrane porous and the rapid influx of fluid results in the bacterial cell death.

Hyperglycemia inhibits the proper activation of the complement cascade, thereby reducing another pathway of the immune system.

Can diabetes be cured?

Presently in medicine, diabetes is not a curable disease. In type 1 diabetes, patients need lifelong insulin treatment to keep their blood sugars in normal range to avoid complications. In type 2 diabetes, studies suggest that in the very early stages of the disease it can be reversed with a strict calorie diet. But once type 2 diabetes is well established, it cannot be completely cured. Type 2 diabetes patients need to keep their blood sugars in normal range by maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and taking their medications on a regular basis to avoid long-term complications.
