In the last 20 years there have been great advances in the treatment of diabetes that has allowed better control to those who suffer from this disease, said the professor of the Monterrey Technological Medicine School, Óscar Flores Caloca.

He said that excess thirst, hunger or weight loss are symptoms of diabetes, a condition that increases in children and young people, and that if it is not treated with time it can have serious consequences.

Fortunately, he stressed, "there are many devices to apply insulin, such as micro infuses or insulin pumps, which are devices that apply insulin through an infusion."

"There are glucose sensors without having to prick your finger, you put on a patch and measure your sugar," he said.

The specialist indicated that in the case of type 2 diabetes, a good food, exercise and avoiding sedentary lifestyle are ways of preventing it, and in people prone to suffer from genetics, it will help them avoid it at an early age.

Type 1 diabetes emphasized, it cannot be prevented since there is no certain factor by which insulin does not occur in the body.

Flores Caloca warned that this problem occurs when glucose levels in the body increase, and that it is the direct cause of the death of more than one million people in the world a year.

It is expected that by 2030 it will be the seventh cause of deaths globally, he said.

He pointed out that despite this increase, technological advances, timely control and health care can allow diabetic people to live well and for many years.

"People with diabetes have a very good quality of life, live almost practically the years of a person who has no diabetes," he said.

He indicated that diabetics "currently the only thing that is not allowed to work is to handle commercial airplanes and drive trailers in certain states of the American Union."

Well here in Spain they cut us for many more places, and I think it shouldn't be like that.Then there are others who do not cut them drink, drug themselves and do dangerous things.
But this is the usual story we are normal only for what they want.

False, there have been no advances in the treatment in the last 20 years, we remain as slaves of the exogenous injection of insulin, that is the only treatment today, the same one that 94 years ago.

The devices ... carrying the syringe always hooked and hanging (bomb) seems to me a terrible delay with respect to the bolis, as well as the annoying continuous meters always nailed to the skin and their approximate values ​​(in the best case).

As I said the other day, I did live in 1930 with a glucometer of 20 years ago, I would have exactly the same diabetic life that I have today.

En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

  

Let's see Sherpa41 the topic we have discussed it many times, I will not comment on the matter but I prefer to have more quality of life than to go with bolis, but it is not done for everyone.
What is clear that you are afraid of any MCG with alarms.
Progress will have some when they make an immediate action and an MCG with exact values ​​and from the zero minute, which will never happen since neither the gluconometers themselves give the same values ​​always.

We continue with punctures, and many more than those that were put 40 years ago, which was only one a day.
But the advance is in the control and life expectancy that can be achieved with current treatments.
