How to overcome diabetes
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is often called the common people “diabetes”, is the amount of interference that has characteristics typical main high sugar in blood. Diabetes means “continue” because penderitanya always drink a lot and in the amount, and then continue the form alias urin urine.
While mellitus means “sweet”, because urin penderitanya contain glucose aka blood sugar that taste sweet. TO basically, DM caused by the hormone insulin that is not patient enough or not effective, so can not work normally. In fact, the normal person, insulin has major role in managing blood sugar; approximately 60-120 mg / dl in the fasting state, and below 140 mg / dl at two hours after eating.
There are two categories of the most common choices, ie, diabetes type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes type 1, the DM diidap by 5-10 per cent patients, usually occurs in children or young adults. While type 2 diabetes, the DM diidap by 90-95 percent of all diabetics, increased in number, especially in minority populations.
Diabetes found in all populations and age groups, but the increase in the number of elderly people in the groups (elderly) and people of color, Hispanic, native American, and Asian people. The Congressionally-Established Diabetes Research Working Group (1999) reported that although mortality due to diseases of cancer, stroke, and kardiovaskular tended to decrease since 1988, mortality due to diabetes increased about 30 percent.
Age life expectancy of those who suffered from diabetes on average 15 years shorter from those who do not suffer. In Indonesia, especially in the communities of the city, a diabetes disease are prominent at this time. Research finds Waspadji 1982, 1.7 percent have diabetes patients in Jakarta, in 1992 and increase to 5.7 percent. Epidemiology research in Jakarta in 2001-working together Perkeni (Association Endokrinolog Indonesia) and the Ministry of Health, the number of people with diabetes have 6.2 percent. (Kompas, 5 November 2001). Most diabetes cases in Manado in Indonesia found that reaches 6.1 percent. (Kompas, May 29, 2002).
Based on the notes WHO in 1998, the number of diabetics in Indonesia was ranked to 6-most in the world after India, China, Russia, Japan and Brazil. Number of diabetics in India will increase to 12 million in the year 2025. The increase of 250 percent of the 5 million people in 1995 was due to the increasing elderly population and changes in the pattern of life, from the type of food consumed to the reduced physical activity.
For many centuries, more than 400 plants recognized as a successful “cure” diabetes. In Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, raw onion has been used as food favorite option for controlling blood sugar. In Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Santo Domingo, untouchable have been used widely as a “cure” for traditional diabetes.
Current studies demonstrate that consumption of high fiber foods, especially soluble fiber, may improve control of blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Studies performed by dr Manisha Chandalia and colleagues-colleagues from the disease In Science and Human Nutrition Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States. Property tolbutamide in onion Onion has long occupied a place in the respected medical science as “drugs” diabetes.
Modern research shows, red onion has “strength” reduce blood sugar, charged and held in the degree that is found in food. The researchers who conducted the Indian red onion, such as juice and red onion “rounded” alias still intact, as much as 25-200 grams of ditelitinya on the subject, the more that get the onion is given, the greater the blood sugar decreases.
There is no difference between the raw red onion and red onion that has been boiled. According to the theory of the research team, onion affect sugar metabolism in the liver, metabolism or insulin release, and / or insulin to prevent vandalism.
“Agent” who may have the ability hipoglikemia, lower blood sugar, it is active allyl propyl disulfide and allicin. Clinical and experimental evidence indicates that allyl propyl disulfide lower blood sugar in a way to improve “the living” (lifespan) insulin. In fact, already since 1923 scientists-scientists detect depressor there is sugar in the blood red onion, and in the 1960s, researchers successfully isolate compound antidiabetes of onion that work similar to pharmaceutical drugs antidiabetes general, known as tolbutamide, which is often used to reduce blood sugar.
How it works is that tolbutamide stimulates insulin synthesis and expenses. In the rabbit experiment, the extract of onion, 77 percent of the effective dose with standard tolbutamide. Other research results show, the effects of onion have lower blood sugar and fat. Therefore, it is recommended to add the onion to the food in each meal. Onion can be used after meals in the amount of free.
Soluble fiber in foods naturally high blood sugar is the main problem in diabetes. Research proves that the fibers have a strong effect on blood sugar control. In the studies conducted Chandalia et al, 13 people with type 2 diabetes are the two types of diet, each for six weeks. Diet is a diet that contains moderate amounts of fiber (24 g total fiber, 8 g fiber and 16 g soluble fiber is not soluble), as recommended American Diabetes Association.
Meanwhile, the second diet is high fiber diet (50 g total fiber, each 25 g fiber and soluble fiber is not soluble) containing the natural order of food laden fibers. Both diet, prepared in the kitchen of research, contains vitamin macro and the same energy (see Table). Chandalia dkk then compare the effects of these two dietary control of blood sugar and blood fat level.
The result? Patients-diabetics mengonsumsi of 50 g total fiber per day with 7 to 8 portions fruit and vegetables alias-fiber diet high blood sugar have a lower and more stable than people-diabetics who mengonsumsi moderate fiber diet.
High-fiber diet also lower total blood cholesterol level about 7 percent. Precisely how the mechanism of high-fiber foods can improve blood sugar control, have not been clear. However, it is alleged to be caused by the type of soluble fiber gum and pectin can slow the drain side, and even slow or reduce absorption of blood sugar.
Chandalia et al study also showed that the Feed (intake) soluble fiber that may be achieved with high mengonsumsi laden natural food fiber. High-fiber diet and a few side effects can be well received by the patient. Therefore, to increase consumption of fiber, the people with diabetes are encouraged to mengonsumsi laden food natural fiber compared with the preparation or fiber supplements.
Food-laden food fiber that is used for high-fiber diet in the research Chandalia and his friends is a fruit dish koktail, fresh oranges, fresh pineapple, fresh papaya, peach fruit (peach) fresh, cherry fruit, fresh tomatoes, corn, zucchini, green beans, whole-wheat bread, and havermout (oatmeal and oat bran).
