Diabetes type 2 patients received several pieces of good news recently. First of all, that the gastric bypass (Bariatric) surgery improves insulin response and the second that the FDA has published Tradjenta for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.
People with diabetes may not correctly process sugar. Their bodies either do not produce amounts required insulin or they properly use insulin. Diabetics have increased the risk of heart disease, nerve damage, blindness, and kidney damage.
There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, also called juvenile diabetes usually appears in childhood and is usually genetic. Type 2 diabetes is usually a condition of the adult, occur after 45 years.
While some ethnic groups are more likely to Type 2 diabetes (African-American, American Indian, Hispanic), it is considered more of a lifestyle disease. Type 2 diabetes is caused by:
* being overweight, especially with large amounts of contents fat stomach (although the thin people, particularly the elderly are more prone to diabetes, too)
* physical inactivity
* lack of exercise
* much large quantities of sugary foods, products milk, red meat, food processing and junk food
Type 2 diabetes is by far the most common form of the disease. People who suffer from diabetes of the United States $ 24 million, approximately 90 to 95 per cent have Type 2 diabetes. Tradjenta is prescribed for patients and should not be used to treat Type 1 diabetes.
Tradjenta acts to block the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 or the DPP-4, which inhibits insulin releasing hormones. It is proven effective with other diabetes drugs, metformin, glimepiride and pioglitazone. Tradjenta can be used alone or with other treatments, but not with insulin.
Tradjenta is the commercial name of linagliptin. Tradjenta is marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc., Ridgefield, Conn. based in Indianapolis Eli Lilly FDA Co.
The FDA recommends that patients Tradjenta combine treatment with diet and exercise. If blood sugar issues are a problem, weight loss and exercise alone are sometimes less successful. I tried to lose weight for six months with little success.
I have not diabetes, but my body produces too much insulin. When my doctor put me on metformin a month ago, I lost more weight in the month only, as in the five months before combined.
I had also begun to get discouraged with rigid a regime which is not good. Metformin has helped my body insulin use effectively. Power actually lose the weight, thanks to the insulin, drug regulatory gave me renewed zeal to lose weight.
