UAE brings about a new Treatment in Diabetes

Almost every person worldwide is cognizant that only sugar is the sole cause of diabetes. We, humans acquire diabetes when the level of sugar rises. But are we correct? Do we have the sufficient information? The only answer to this is a "NO". The truth about diabetes holds an untold story but people around the world may be aware of it only to a limited extent. Although our body needs glucose but in certain cases, the sugar which we get from what we eat, is not processed by the glucose in our body. When the sugar is not processed efficiently by our body, then we tend to develop diabetes. When in the beginning of the disease one comes to know the symptoms, he/she can avoid serious complications and can be cured with the help of proper treatment which includes a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Overall a minimum of 7% of population of United States have already took on diabetes and this figure is likely to rise by 2050 to 12% or 5 million more. In Canada also near about to 1 million of western people suffer from the disease.

Diabetes is of three types. First is type 1 diabetes which develops when the body is not in the position to produce insulin anymore. Second is type 2 diabetes which develops when the insulin in the body is not used effectively by the body. There are many symptoms of diabetes which include excessive thirst, blurred vision, excessive hunger, and excessive frequent urination. Often, insulin shots and various other drugs are taken to control diabetes but diet and exercise play an important role in controlling diabetes. Diabetes effects are also controlled with various other herbs available.

Diabetes can be corrected with the help of various other measures. UAE has discovered a new drug of late for the purpose of treating diabetes. This drug named 'Byetta (Exenatide) is the artificial version of a toxin secreted by the Gila monster which is a lizard, specie native to the US. This drug comes as a measure to regulate the sugar level of blood. United States have the availability of this drug as of 2005 being used by various people worldwide.

Byetta drug is also useful in relieving from obesity and is given in the form of injection. Therefore it is used by everyone who falls in type 2 diabetes category as those patients are heavily overweight and their bodies are overly sensitive and cant bear oral medications. No one would prefer gaining weight that is why they would opt for Byetta as irrespective of other medications this drug helps in reducing weight. Byetta is based on glucose and hence helps in regulating the level of sugar. That way byetta helps in restraining from insulin related problems and thereby hypoglycemia. It helps in meeting the desires of a patient with respect to hunger as it regulates their appetite as well in controlling the sugar level when it acts as a hormone.

Diabetes is a major disease menacing our community. Best in class treatments are brought forward to fight with the disease and lower the number of people suffering from diabetes. UAE comes up as one of the first countries in middle east for the availability of Byetta.

People having Type 2 diabetes suffer with lowered hormone incretion or it is somehow eliminated from their body. Gila is the only poisonous lizard found in southwest desert of USA and Mexico. The toxin secreted by the disastrous monster is the most effective in controlling type 2 diabetes. A synthetic version of the toxin is developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes which is known as Byetta. Incretin mimetics is the new treatment done with Byetta. This works like Hormone incretion with the help of which blood sugar in the body gets regulated and insulin secretion increases. Incretin is released with the help of gut in the Bloodstream
