Does anyone know if anyone is researching/ beta testing or publishing data on the use (experimental use is fine- I don’t expect practical use data) of insulin pumps in pets? Prefer feline data.
I know the cost of pump & supplies so that’s not what I am looking for.
Do not need current protocol in feline diabetes management, looking for information beyond that.
I am looking for research papers, or medical guidelines if such a thing exists.
I understand in theory it may be possible to use an insulin pump on a pet, (cost prohibits most people/pets). I want to know if anyone has done it or is researching it.
Thanks.
thanks for the yahoo group suggestion, I will look into it.
What I am looking for is research data above and beyond the current, cutting edge vet medical data.
You can probably find a good answer by joining the Yahoo group for feline diabetes. There are lots of members and as with other "specialized" cat groups on Yahoo there are always one or two members who are very up-to-date on the medical research.
Some fruits are higher than others on the glycemic index. Is it possible that fruit eaten in any quantity could become a cause of diabetes? I had always thought that the enemy was sucrose, not fructose consumed in raw, fresh fruit.
Have read that overweight can be a contributing factor. If one remains consistently slighly under-weight can such an individual develop diabetes?
If the reader happens to be an expert in the matter, why not list for me up-to-date guidelines for the avoidance of this problem?
Nuts prevent type 2 diabetes
There was great excitement in the press very recently when researchers from Harvard studied more than 83,000 women and found that those who reported eating a handful of nuts or two tablespoons of peanut butter at least five times a week were more than 20 percent less likely to develop adult onset (type II) diabetes than those who rarely or never ate nuts. Type II diabetes develops when the body cannot properly use insulin. The women had been followed for up to sixteen years. The speculation is that the results apply to men as well as women. It’s not only the “good” fat in the nuts that work on heart health. The fiber and magnesium in nuts help maintain balanced insulin and glucose levels
Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Add it to your coffee, oatmeal, smoothie, or wherever you find it palatable.
If you already suffer from diabetes, be sure to stay on a regular schedule with your cinnamon usage so that your blood sugar levels don’t yo-yo.Use the same amount at the same time every day so that you can get a sense of how cinnamon affects your own personal blood sugar readings.
Use the powdered spice or a cinnamon stick. Cinnamon pills are also available, and can be found easily via an online search. MHCP is water soluble and is not found in cinnamon oil.
Lime and lemon juice delay the digestion of starches as does vinegar. I’ve found that 2-3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice reduces my post prandial BG response by 10-20 points. Rick Mendosa’s site has a lot of material on acids in the diet. Take a look at http://www.mendosa.com/acidic_foods.htm .
Also a low Glycemic diet may stave off the onslaught of Diabetes.Here is the best Glycemic Index on the web:www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
Benefits of Regular Exercise: Stronger Muscles
Most people know that exercise keeps muscles strong. But did you know that strong muscles burn more calories? Muscle mass is metabolically active tissue. In other words, the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn even when you’re not working out.
Studies estimate that for each pound of muscle you add to your body, you will burn an additional 35-50 calories per day. So an extra 5 pounds of muscle will burn about 175-250 calories a day, or an extra pound of fat every 14-20 days.
Because guys have more muscle mass, they burn calories faster and lose weight more easily than girls. So girls need to work out daily to stay strong and in shape.
You can develop type 2 diabetes if:
Your body does not respond properly to insulin, making it difficult for your cells to get sugar from the blood to make energy. This is called insulin resistance.
Your pancreas does not make enough insulin.
Your weight, how much physical activity you get, and your family history all affect the way your body responds to insulin. If you are overweight, get little or no exercise, or have family members with dia
betes, you have a greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes.
Fight Diabetes with Sweet Laughter
A Japanese study finds a chuckle after a meal may help lower your blood sugar.
A chuckle may help the body process blood sugar, according to research from Japan. A study of type 2 diabetes—the most common form of the disease—found that laughter was linked to lower blood sugar levels after a meal.
Over two days, participants were given identical meals. On one day, they watched a humorless lecture, and on the next they watched a Japanese comedy show. The group of 19 people with diabetes and five without had their blood sugar monitored during the study.
Afterward both diabetics and non-diabetics alike had lower glucose levels after laughing through the comedy show than they did when they listened to the monotonous 40-minute lecture. The study was published in Diabetes Care.
Keiko Hayashi, of the University of Tsukuba, Japan, who led the study says that he cannot yet explain the laughter-glucose connection. It could be that laughter affects the neuroendocrine system, which monitors the body’s glucose levels. Or it may be an effect of energy used by the stomach muscles.
Increased blood sugar can cause major complications for diabetics. If glucose is not kept in check, diabetics are more at risk for heart disease, kidney disease, and blindness. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body fails to produce enough insulin to control the body’s glucose levels.
