Adiponectin In Insulin Resistance



What is insulin resistance? Insulin resistance is a condition where the concentration of insulin in the body are very high but the body does not respond properly to insulin, so as if the deficiency of insulin. As a result, blood sugar contained in our bodies can not be balanced or excess blood sugar and eventually someone can get diabetes.Type diabetes resulting from insulin resistance were classified as type 2 diabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus.


What is adiponectin? Today has found a protein involved in insulin resistance is adiponectin. Adiponectin is one of the proteins that have important effects in maintaining the balance of sugar and fat. Adiponectin function in increasing the sensitivity / sensitivity of the organs of the body to insulin so that play a role in regulating the balance of sugar in the body. In normal conditions, adiponectin will maintain the balance of blood sugar through the reduction of sugar produced by the liver and maximize the use of sugar by the organs of the body that need sugar as an energy source.


The concentration of adiponectin in the body will decrease in the state of obesity (overweight) and insulin resistance. Low concentrations of adiponectin are found in individuals with insulin resistance, regardless rather than whether they are obese (overweight) or not. These findings suggest that low adiponectin concentrations directly contribute to the setting changes the balance of sugar and decrease insulin sensitivity in the liver.


Adiponectin examination is also useful to look at the risk of future diabetes because adiponectin plays a role in maintaining the balance blood sugar metabolism in the body. Individuals who have risk factors are those that have diabetes family descendants. They can conduct examination of adiponectin to view the possibility of occurrence of diabetes in the future.


Increased concentrations of adiponectin associated with the regulation of sugar concentration is better, better lipid profile and decreased inflammation (inflammatory) infection in individuals with insulin resistance and diabetes sufferers. Determination of the concentration of adiponectin is critical to determine the risk of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) in people with diabetes.

Treatment of diabetes mellitus


Meal planning, exercise and weight loss efforts is the basis of how diabetics millitus facing illness. Without meal planning and discipline to undergo, for example, the patient would be impossible to overcome the disease. Even millitus diabetes who are still in the mild stage can be solved / cured only with diet alone. If all the above efforts have been undertaken with good blood sugar levels but not yet in the normal range, then the patient requires medication.


Drugs for diabetes mellitus are known as hypoglycemic drugs or drugs in lowering blood glucose levels. Although effective and easy to wear, use of these drugs should be appropriate dosage or according to doctor's instructions. If the dose is too low chronic complications will arise early. Being excessive dosage or the wrong way can lead to the use of hypoglycemia.


There are two kinds of hypoglycemic drugs. Namely in the form of injections and tablets. For most people, the term itself had been abandoned drugs. Since there is no medicine that can cure diabetes millitus. Healing can only when accompanied by an attitude of life-planning eating right. There are two classes of oral hypoglycemic drugs and biguanid sulfonylurea class.


• Case Studies Rudi (30) previously was a very accomplished athlete. However, exercise habits suddenly stopped. This resulted in her frequently ill. Plus, Rudi also consume alcoholic beverages. As a result, his condition continued to deteriorate as easily tired and listless. In addition, her weight (even though he ate a lot) is also getting down and almost any time is always thirsty. He finally went to the doctor. After doing a general check-up, he declared affected by diabetes, which is already quite acute and need special care.


• The Medical Diabetes mellitus is a disease that is basically not so dangerous. However, the fear is that if it had a long-term complications, the disease can cause other illnesses, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney. Then if someone comes into a special treatment center for the disease to prevent complications with running. Basically this diabetes decreases and complex nature. This condition occurs because the pancreas produces too little hormone insulin which prevents the sugar in the body. As a result, sugar excreted in the urine.This creates a feeling thirsty and lost a lot of weight. If allowed, this causes the formation of cataracts or blood ketone preformance. These ketones if left to accumulate and cause physical collapse, and even coma. Diabetes is generally treated with insulin and diet control strict diet.


Treatment herbalist
From the herbalist, people affected by diabetes over the age young people need insulin for long periods of time even a lifetime. Yet, the discipline to keep blood sugar that enters the body is one alternative to reduce the spread of the disease. This requires prevention of complications by changing the wrong way of life as westernized way of life became traditional way of life such as eating foods containing starches. Thus, the levels and the number of diabetic patients in the future can be prevented and complications can be reduced if accompanied with a healthy lifestyle.


Taboo
1. Ice 
2. Soft drinks
3. Substances that contain lots of sugar
4. Avoid smoking


Medical Treatment The definition of medical treatment is treatment with medical discipline.Medical drugs can be divided into several groups.


Sulfonylurea group can lower high blood glucose levels by stimulating the release of insulin from pancreatic b cells. Thus when the pancreas is damaged and can not produce insulin anymore then this drug can not be used. Therefore this drug is not useful for people with type I diabetes millitus However, it would be efficacious when administered in patients with type II diabetes millitus who have normal weight. Use of drugs known as sulfonylureas in obese and obesity should be careful. Because of possible levels of insulin in the blood is high (hyperinsulinemia). It's just that there are insulin can not work effectively. In patients with diabetes mellitus with obesity, this class of drug delivery will spur the pancreas release more insulin. Consequently hiperinsulmnemia state becomes higher. This is dangerous because it can cause various diseases.


BIGUANID
These drugs work by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin produced by the body itself. This drug does not stimulate increased production of insulin so that a single use does not cause hypoglycemia.Biguanid drugs recommended as a single agent in patients with diabetes mellitus with obesity (BBR> 120%). For people with diabetes mellitus who are obese (BBR> 110%) can be combined with drug use sulfonilunea class. Side effects that often occur from the use of drugs known as biguanid are gastrointestinal disorders in the first days of treatment. To avoid this, suggested by a low dose and drink while eating or just before eating. Pregnant women and breastfeeding is not recommended to use this class of drugs.

Acarbose
Acarbose works by slowing the digestion of carbohydrates into glucose. Thus, blood glucose levels after meals does not increase sharply. The remaining undigested carbohydrates will be utilized by bacteria in the colon, and this causes the stomach to be bloated, frequent flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Use of these drugs can be combined with drugs known as sulfonylureas or insulin, but in case of hypoglycemia effect can only be solved with pure sugar called glucose or dextrose. Sugar is not useful. Acarbose These drugs are not given to people with less and 18 years of age, chronic digestive disorders, and pregnant and lactating women. Acarbose effective in patients who ate more carbohydrates and fasting blood sugar levels over 180 mg / dl.


INSULIN
Insulin is injected as a drug to cover the lack of insulin the body (endogenous) due to pancreatic b cells gland can not meet existing needs.Treatment with insulin based on the condition of each patient and only a competent doctor to choose the type and dose. For that insulin is used in patients with type I diabetes millitus Patients in this group should be able to inject their own insulin.


For most patients with type II diabetes millitus, also required the use of insulin.The following indications show that patients need to use insulin.


Diabetes with acute complications such as gangrene. Other ketoacidosis and coma in patients. Diabetes in pregnancy is not controlled with meal planning. Patient weight decreased rapidly. Diabetes mellitus who are not successfully managed with maximal doses of hypoglycemic tablets. Diseases accompanied by impaired liver function and kidney weight. There are different types of insulin, namely Insulin Work Faster (Short acting insuline), Insulin Working Medium (Intermediate acting insuline) and insulin premix (Premixing insuline) which is a mixture of short acting and intermediate acting insuline insuline. There are also insulin that has a working 24-hour power (Long acting insuline).


Traditional Medicine Traditional medicine, treatment using ingredients from medicinal plants has been known for thousands of years ago. In general, understands this is called herbalism, which is an effort to improve body functions by using plant materials, both derived from a single plant or several plants of the herb. In herbalism there is a basic principle, namely using plants as a whole. So instead of taking substances that are useful for certain diseases or even receipts mixtures of synthetic materials. Manufacture of traditional medicine is quite simple, so anyone who wants to learn it certainly can process them.


Between Medical Treatment and Traditional Medicine
There is a difference between traditional medicine with medical treatment (modern medicine). The crushing medical treatment. For that reaction that is usually felt sooner. While traditional medicine in character building. The reaction is pretty slow.



The above is consistent with the basic principles of medical treatment and herbalism. Traditional treatment adhered to the balance organ function naturally. So he not only treat or relieve symptoms of one disease, but trying to restore the function of the body to become balanced again. Traditional treatment usually less suitable for things that are to be quick handling, eg for acute infection. Instead of traditional medicine is very good for chronic diseases are even no longer able to be treated by medical means.


Basically, our bodies have the amazing ability to heal diseases. The emergence of the disease itself is understandable because the function of the body become unbalanced. Imbalance is caused by various factors, ranging from environmental factors, physical, emotional / psychological, as well as social factors such as changes in eating habits, etc.. So if there is one disorder or dysfunction at the cellular level in a body part, then this will lead to imbalances elsewhere. If our bodies can not cope with this, then there will be a single disease. The disease itself is ultimately a dysfunction of a body part that would lead to imbalance the other section. So forth. Examples of these events can be seen clearly on the complications caused by diabetes millitus (see page complication).


In herbalism known one term backlash or follow-back. Follow-back is directly related to the immune system. In reply to these acts of our immune system get rid of substances or waste products (toxins) that are not needed by the body.So in a follow-back place a process of detoxification. Follow-back is very different from what the science of medicine called a disease crisis. Disease crisis occurs because the body is unable to deal with a disease or substances that are toxic to the body including the chemicals of medical drugs. That is why in medicine has always emphasized the existence of side effects.
