Preventive Therapy for Diabetes Type 1
Filed Under Diabetes, Health Care, Home Health | Leave a Comment
Excessive amounts of glucose in the body leads to diabetes. When the hormone known as insulin is not produced well, or has other problems in the body, you are likely to suffer from diabetes. A person may have diabetes type 1 or diabetes type 2. Diabetes type I is caused by lack of insulin production leading to too much sugar in the body than the kidney can filter.
Preventive therapy for diabetes type 1 is meant to prevent the body from destroying insulin producing cells by making it more tolerable to them. This type of diabetes reacts by killing the isles of Langerhans in the pancreas, cells charged with the production of insulin in the body.
The preventive therapy for diabetes type 1 is something new from PhD science students who have been carrying out research in Garvan Institute of Medical research. Their findings revolve around a particular molecule they believe can act as a preventive therapy for the condition.

For someone suffering from diabetes, a diet plan is very vital for effective management. Always consult your physician before you begin any new plan of diet and make sure that you eat only foods that are accepted for diabetics and eat only specified amount. Do not skip meals or take a snack in between planned meals. Use a standard measuring cup, a table spoon or a teaspoon to measure all foods to ensure proper portion sizes measure foods after cooking. It’s advisable to bake broil or boil meats instead of frying.
Stick to low calorie and lean foods and fresh fruits and vegetables instead of canned. Always avoid sweets and candy, sugar and honey, pies, and anything prepared with sugar. Avoid high fat or cholesterol foods, and alcoholic beverages.
A standard sample menu that provides 1800 calorie, involves two fruits, one meat, two breads, one milk portion, one fat as well as a free food.
