In Diabetes Care: Researchers found that during a hypoglycemic attack in people with type 1 diabetes, the amount of the naturally occurring chemical isoprene in a person's breath increases. Dogs can smell this chemical and can be trained to alert owners of potentially dangerous lows. Read more at http://dx.doi.org/10.2337/dc16-0461.

The June 2016 issue of Diabetes Voice focuses on the the rise in people living with diabetes worldwide and the price we are all paying for diabetes prevention, care and treatment, directly and indirectly.

Rhys Williams, in his final article (Estimating the national and global costs of diabetes) for the magazine as Editor-in-Chief, revisits the methods used to calculate the costs of diabetes and re-evaluates our current position on costs and how we may need to revise our economic expectations of a future in which diabetes itself and its complications are prevented.

Ping Zhang, Health Economist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and João da Rocha Fernandes, IDF’s Health Economist discuss cost-effective and cost-saving interventions to reduce the future economic burden of diabetes.

David Beran, researcher and lecturer at the University of Geneva and Geneva University Hospitals, and his co-authors, examine the challenge and constraints to insulin access today, declaring our need to act on behalf of the 50 million people who require insulin but have difficulties accessing it (Insulin in 2016: challenge and constraints to access).

In, Diabetes in the Young, School Performance and KiDS, our authors discuss cognitive function and school performance in children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the importance of treating and caring for diabetes in school, and how IDFs Kids and Diabetes in Schools (KiDS) project is helping to foster school environments that create a better understanding of diabetes.

In Diabetes in Society, we asked people living with diabetes or caring for people with diabetes what the condition costs them in real terms, and how this cost has affected them and their families. Contributions come from people living in very diverse communities including, Sri Lanka, the USA and Rwanda, but more similarities on access and affordability exist between our contributors then you might think.

DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE BETTER SEX WHEN CONTROLLING YOU BLOOD SUGAR

Men with diabetes are twice as likely as other men to experience erectile dysfunction (ED). What’s more, they tend to develop Attention problems 10 to 15 years earlier than men who don’t have diabetes. Those numbers may sound grim, but there’s hope. You can take control of your sexual health by managing your blood glucose, or blood sugar levels.

If you want to prevent Attention problems or keep them from getting worse, you must control your blood sugar and get your numbers as close to normal as possible. That means diligent self-monitoring, taking any diabetes medications your doctor has prescribed, andv being committed to healthy living.

The best approach is to follow a healthy diet, get regular exercise, and maintain a normal weight. Some people with diabetes are able to gain control of their blood sugar levels with lifestyle changes alone. Some may need to take medication to keep their numbers as close to normal as possible. But it’s important to keep in mind that diabetes medications work best when you make the effort to eat right and be physically active.

The Key to Success: Testing Blood Sugar Levels

If you have diabetes and take insulin you should test your blood sugar levels three or more times daily. Home blood glucose monitoring can be done fasting, before or two hours after meals, and at bedtime. Exactly how often you should test your blood sugar and at what times depends on your specific needs and what your doctor tells you to do.

When you’re trying to get your levels down to your goal, or if you are changing therapies, it’s a good idea to test more often. By testing before and after meals, in the morning, and before bed you can create a detailed picture of how your blood sugar fluctuates throughout the day. That will help your doctor tailor your treatment for the best control.

Everyone with diabetes should know his A1C score. The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over three months. If you haven’t been doing regular finger-sticks, this test will tell you how well you’ve been controlling your blood sugar levels.

The A1C test score is given as a percentage, ranging from 6% to 12%.

A score below 6% is normal for people without diabetes. You should aim for an A1C score of less than 7%. If you have a score any higher than that you are at higher risk for problems like erectile dysfunction. It’s best to have your level checked at least twice a year.

Even a 1% drop in your A1C score has a big impact. One of the largest studies so far on type 2 diabetes shows that people who lower their A1C score by 1% have a 35% lower risk for the kinds of complications that cause ED. One study directly linked high A1C scores to erectile dysfunction and low A1C scores to better sexual function.

If at all possible, you should aim to get your A1C score down into the range of 6% or less, where people without diabetes are. Research has shown that there’s no floor, so to speak, when it comes to the benefit of lowering A1C.

If your blood sugar levels have been out of control, you should have the test more frequently.

Another important factor is how you take your diabetes medication. Follow directions carefully and don’t skip doses. Skipping doses often results in worse blood sugar control and added complications from the diabetes. And don’t forget guys, if you want to be a tiger in the bed, check your blood sugars so you don’t end up down and out.

WHEN TO TEST FOR YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE

ROUTINE OR DAILY TESTING

Timing your routine or daily testing as recommended can help you see how your meals, medications and activities affect your blood sugar. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that you routinely test blood sugar levels as an effective part of any self-care program. For people using insulin, the ADA recommends testing 3 or more times a day. If you take another kind of medication, test your blood sugar level as often as your healthcare team recommends. Your EASYMAX GLUCOMANAGER SOFTWARE is a good way to keep track of routine testing results.
You and your healthcare team will determine when you should test your blood sugar based on your current health, age and level of activity, as well as the time of day and other factors. They may suggest that you test your blood sugar at any of the following times:

• Before each meal
• 1 or 2 hours after a meal
• Before a bedtime snack
• In the middle of the night
• Before physical activity, to see if you need a snack
• During and after physical activity
• If you think your blood sugar might be too high or too low.
• When you're sick or under stress

https://easymaxdiabetescare.appsme.com

STRUCTURED TESTING

In addition to your routine or daily testing schedule, you may want to consider testing your blood sugar levels in a structured way if you:

• Adjust your insulin or oral medication
• Begin a new medication unrelated to diabetes
• Change your activity program, meal plan, work or school schedule

www.helpbeatdiabetes.org


Combining routine blood sugar testing and structured testing gives you a better view and a clearer picture of how your self-care program is working. You can then take one step at a time toward your goals to enjoy a longer, healthier life.

Complications associated with type 2 diabetes

For many people, type 2 diabetes can be effectively managed. It can affect virtually all your organs and lead to serious complications, including:

Skin problems, such as bacterial or fungal infections

Nerve damage, or neuropathy, which can cause a loss of sensation or numbness and tingling in your extremities as well as digestive issues, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation

Poor circulation to the feet, which makes it hard for your feet to heal when you have a cut or an infection and can also lead to gangrene and loss of the foot or leg

Hearing impairment

Retinal damage, or retinopathy, and eye damage, which can cause deteriorating vision, glaucoma, and cataracts

Cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, narrowing of the arteries, angina, heart attack, and stroke

Kidney damage and kidney failure.

World Health Organization's theme for the year is on Diabetes.

Diabetes is a life-long disease characterized by elevated levels of sugar in the blood. In Nigeria, where diabetes was once a rarity, it now affects over 1 million people and this number is rising at an alarming rate.
Why the focus on diabetes?
• Worldwide, the number of people with diabetes has quadrupled since 1980
• Eating habits and physical inactivity are two main reasons behind this rise
• In Africa, 80% of diabetes cases are undiagnosed and therefore untreated and uncontrolled
• Uncontrolled diabetes can be devastating. It is a leading cause of heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and amputation.
The good news is that, it can be prevented. Here are 5 ways to reduce your risk of Diabetes:

Controlling your weight: [/b]Excess weight is the main cause of diabetes. People who are overweight or have obesity have added pressure on their body's ability to use insulin to properly control blood sugar levels. Being obese makes you 20 to 40 times more likely to develop diabetes than someone with a healthy weight. Regular early morning jogging and fitness trainings could help maintain a healthy weight.

[b]Be active: Working your muscles more often and making them work harder improves their ability to use insulin and absorb glucose. Findings from the Nurses’ Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study suggest that walking briskly for a half hour every day reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 30%.

Avoid Tobacco: Smokers are roughly 50 percent more likely to develop diabetes than nonsmokers, and heavy smokers have an even higher risk. Avoid it if you can.

Diet: If you are used to taking lots of carbohydrates, now is the best time to reduce that and concentrate on fruits and vegetables. These help in maintaining your ideal weight and also reduce or risk of diabetes.
Regular Check-ups: Always visit a doctor for regular check-ups to detect early symptoms of diseases that could trigger diabetes.

DIABETES COMPLICATIONS

Studies have found periodontal disease to be more prevalent in diabetics versus non-diabetics. The relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease goes both ways, periodontal disease may make it more difficult for people who have diabetes to control their blood sugar.

Periodontal Disease

Periodontal diseases are infections of the gum and bone that hold theteeth in place. In advanced stages, they lead to painful chewing problems and even tooth loss. Like any infection, gum disease can make it hard to keep your blood sugar under control.

Diabetes Retinopathy

This occurs due to damage of the fine blood vessels of the retina in the eye due to long term exposure to high blood sugar.Kidney damage – similar damage to small and large blood vessels of the kidneys. Initially there is proteinuria or increased outflow of protein and may lead to end stage renal disease (ESRD).


Diabetic Encephalopathy
The complications of diabetic encephalopathy can include memory loss, dementia, coma, seizures, or even death.

Every year, the World Health Organization selects a priority area of global public health concern as the theme for World Health Day, which falls on 7 April, the birthday of the Organization.

The theme for World Health Day 2016 will be diabetes, a noncommunicable disease (NCD) directly impacting millions of people of globally, mostly in low- and middle-income countries.

Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose which may over time lead to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The prevalence of diabetes has been steadily increasing in the past few decades, in particular in low- and middle-income countries. Knowledge exists to reverse this trend through targeted prevention and appropriate care.

Not just a health issue
But diabetes – the main forms of which are type 1 and type 2 diabetes – is not just a health issue.

Diabetes and its complications bring about substantial economic loss to people with diabetes and their families, and to health systems and national economies through direct medical costs and loss of work and wages.

Working to prevent, detect and treat diabetes is also critical to development. Within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Governments have set an ambitious target to reduce premature mortality from NCDs – including diabetes – by one third; achieve universal health coverage; and provide access to affordable essential medicines – all by 2030.

Diabetes is one of four priority NCDs targeted by world leaders in the 2011 Political Declaration on the Prevention and Control of NCDs and the SDGs 2016-2030. The Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs 2013-2020 provides a roadmap and menu of policy options to attain nine voluntary global targets, including an additional target to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity by 2025.

Diabetes matters to many
Diabetes, therefore, is an issue relevant to people around the world, as well as multiple stakeholders, including government, civil society, the private sector, and intergovernmental agencies.

While every country and community is at a different stage in addressing its diabetes challenge, there are a number of activities that could be considered at national and local level on World Health Day 2016 to help achieve its objectives to increase awareness and trigger a set of actions to tackle diabetes.

The number of people living with diabetes has almost quadrupled since 1980 to 422 million adults, with most living in developing countries. Factors driving this dramatic rise include overweight and obesity, WHO announced ahead of World Health Day.

WHO is marking its annual World Health Day (7 April), which celebrates the Organization’s founding in 1948, by issuing a call for action on diabetes. In its first “Global report on diabetes”, WHO highlights the need to step up prevention and treatment of the disease.

Health-promoting environments reduce risk factors
Measures needed include expanding health-promoting environments to reduce diabetes risk factors, like physical inactivity and unhealthy diets, and strengthening national capacities to help people with diabetes receive the treatment and care they need to manage their conditions.

“If we are to make any headway in halting the rise in diabetes, we need to rethink our daily lives: to eat healthily, be physically active, and avoid excessive weight gain,” says Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General. “Even in the poorest settings, governments must ensure that people are able to make these healthy choices and that health systems are able to diagnose and treat people with diabetes.”

Diabetes is a chronic, progressive noncommunicable disease (NCD) characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (blood sugar). It occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough of the insulin hormone, which regulates blood sugar, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.

Key findings from WHO’s “Global report on diabetes”
Among the key findings from the “Global report on diabetes” are:

The number of people living with diabetes and its prevalence are growing in all regions of the world. In 2014, 422 million adults (or 8.5% of the population) had diabetes, compared with 108 million (4.7%) in 1980.
The epidemic of diabetes has major health and socioeconomic impacts, especially in developing countries.
In 2014, more than 1 in 3 adults aged over 18 years were overweight and more than one in 10 were obese.
The complications of diabetes can lead to heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and lower limb amputation. For example, rates of lower limb amputation are 10 to 20 times higher for people with diabetes.
Diabetes caused 1.5 million deaths in 2012. Higher-than-optimal blood glucose caused an additional 2.2 million deaths by increasing the risks of cardiovascular and other diseases.
Many of these deaths (43%) occur prematurely, before the age of 70 years, and are largely preventable through adoption of policies to create supportive environments for healthy lifestyles and better detection and treatment of the disease.
Good management includes use of a small set of generic medicines; interventions to promote healthy lifestyles; patient education to facilitate self-care; and regular screening for early detection and treatment of complications.
Global commitments to reduce diabetes
“Many cases of diabetes can be prevented, and measures exist to detect and manage the condition, improving the odds that people with diabetes live long and healthy lives,” says Dr Oleg Chestnov, WHO’s Assistant Director-General for NCDs and Mental Health. “But change greatly depends on governments doing more, including by implementing global commitments to address diabetes and other NCDs.”

These include meeting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4, which calls for reducing premature death from NCDs, including diabetes, by 30% by 2030. Governments have also committed to achieving 4 time-bound national commitments set out in the 2014 UN General Assembly “Outcome Document on Noncommunicable Diseases”, and attaining the 9 global targets laid out in the WHO “Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs”, which include halting the rise in diabetes and obesity.

“Around 100 years after the insulin hormone was discovered, the “Global report on diabetes” shows that essential diabetes medicines and technologies, including insulin, needed for treatment are generally available in only 1 in 3 of the world’s poorest countries,” says Dr Etienne Krug, Director of WHO’s Department for the Management of NCDs, Disability, Violence and Injury Prevention. “Access to insulin is a matter of life or death for many people with diabetes. Improving access to insulin and NCD medicines in general should be a priority.”

https://easymaxdiabetescare.appsme.com

Global efforts are underway to make medicines, including for NCDs, more available and affordable. Commitments from world leaders, including the SDGs, the 2011 “UN Political Declaration on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases”, the 2014 UN General Assembly “Outcome Document on Noncommunicable Diseases”, and the work of the UN Secretary-General’s high-level panel on access to essential medicines are aimed at improving affordability and availability of essential drugs for people living with diabetes.

In Nigeria, About 5 million people are still living with diabetes, while more than 1.56 million cases of diabetes were recorded in 2015. Also, 40,815 deaths in adults due to diabetes were recorded.

We're still catching our breath following the American Diabetes Association's huge 76th Scientific Sessions conference in New Orleans, where diabetes tech and treatments and other science took center stage. So what about cure research, you may ask?

Sorry, no cure yet.

But the topic was certainly touched on with some excitement -- especially in light of recent headlines about steps forward in biological methods to end diabetes once and for all. Following ADA, we reached out to some of the more prominent researchers who tend to draw the most attention when ever Cure Talk comes up. Here's what's on our radar, as of this mid-point of June 2016:


ADA's Pathway to Stop Diabetes

One session at ADA featured a handful of researchers working as part of the ongoing grant-funded, prestigious Pathway to Stop Diabetes program. Among them was Dr. Thomas Delong, a researcher in Colorado who also lives with T1D and whom we interviewed about his work earlier this year. Thomas is studying the body's immune system attacks and how beta cells are destroyed, in hopes of understanding why that happens and what can be done to prevent it.

To cure mouth odour, you can start by brushing your teeth afters meals, as some food particle are the causes of bad breath.

You can also get a mouth wash to rinse you mouth after meals instead of brushing you teeth.

Mouth spray can also be effective. If you use any of these three methods, you will graduaally notice a change in your breath and fill comfortable with you mouth anywhere you go.

MOUTH PROBLEMS FROM DIABETES

When diabetes is not controlled, high glucose levels in your saliva help harmful bacteria grow. These bacteria combine with food to form a soft, sticky film called plaque.Plaque also comes from eating foods that contain sugars or starches. Some types of plaque cause tooth decay or cavities. Other types of plaque cause gum disease and bad breath.



CHECK YOUR MOUTH PROBLEMS

Some of the first signs of gum disease are swollen, tender, or bleeding gums. Sometimes you won’t have any signs of gum disease. Your best defense is to see your dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup.

VISIT YOU DENTIST

If you take insulin or other diabetes medicines, take them and eat as usual before visiting the dentist. You may need to bring your diabetes medicines and your snacks or meal with you to the dentist’s office. If you feel nervous about visiting the dentist, tell your dentist and the staff about your feelings.

KEEP YOUR MOUTH HEALTHY

Drink water that contains added fluoride or ask your dentist about using a fluoride mouth rinse to prevent tooth decay. Use dental floss to clean between your teeth at least once a day. Flossing helps prevent plaque from building up on your teeth.
