From your heart, to your kidneys, your eyes and even your nervous system there's barely a part of your body diabetes leaves untouched if mismanaged. To add to this already bludgeoning string of ailments is periodontal disease. As the name suggests, periodontal literally translates into 'around your teeth' and is a chronic bacterial infection that plagues your gums and the bone which supports your teeth. How ever, this ailment is as two-toned as diabetes, not just resulting as an outcome of the disease, but also interfering in the process of diabetes management on the whole. Thus, even as the hapless diabetic grapples with periodontal disease, this infection is further wrecking his management program, making it even harder for him to keep his condition in control. http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Diabetes--The-Periodontal-Saga/59312 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Diabetes--The-Periodontal-Saga/59312 Modern-day diabetes therapy has now come to be almost synonymous with painful insulin injections. While the importance of battling your disease with insulin supplements is undeniable, given the key role they play in moderating your blood glucose levels, the tedium of having to endure numerous injections during the course of a day is not a very engaging prospect. In fact, it is this very fact of insulin injections which tends to cloud a victim's perspective of the benefits of his diabetes treatment, as the negative attributes very often overshadow the effectiveness of insulin as a part of a diabetes management program. This makes the individual put off treatment until the consequences of his disease get the better of him, or even be irregular with administering insulin causing his blood glucose levels to oscillate violently. When the glucose levels rise too high, as a result of insulin-deficiency, the individual develops hyperglycemia, followed by a severe hypoglycemic state which is instigated by the sudden fall when insulin is administered. http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Insulin-Pumps--Is-It-Time-You-Considered-That-Alternative-/59179 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Insulin-Pumps--Is-It-Time-You-Considered-That-Alternative-/59179 The human body derives its nutrition and energy from the food we eat. This it does by breaking down the carbohydrate content of the food into more simple sugars, or glucose, which then travels through the blood stream to different parts of the body to use. However, sometimes cells of the body are unable to convert the glucose to energy, either because the pancreas isn't producing enough insulin, or because the cells themselves fail to recognize this production and thus cannot metabolize the glucose. And this ailment, which is growing increasingly common with every passing day, is referred to as Diabetes. http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Diabetes--Exercise-Your-Illness-Away-/57626 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Diabetes--Exercise-Your-Illness-Away-/57626 One of the most widespread of all chronic diseases of the modern world, Diabetes is defined as the condition where the body is unable to produce the energy it requires, because of its inability to metabolize sugar. Although this disease is potentially life threatening, the graver consequences that are attributed to Diabetes, can easily be averted by taking a few remedial precautions like regular exercise, making sure you take your medication on time and also testing your glucose levels to make sure you're in control. Your diet, too, plays a crucial role in determining how effective your diabetes treatment is going to be, because when you eat, is as crucial in regulating your blood glucose as the kind of food you eat. http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Diabetes-Diet-Plans--Your-Delicious-Road-To-Good-Health/54010 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.wowarticlesonline.com/Article/Diabetes-Diet-Plans--Your-Delicious-Road-To-Good-Health/54010 Diabetes type 2 is a lifestyle disease that often can be prevented or controlled by a proper diet and exercise.
