DIABETES
101:
=========================
DIABETES AND FOOT ULCERS
Adults with diabetes need to take special care of
their
feet. People with diabetes are at risk for foot injuries
due to
numbness caused by nerve damage (diabetic
neuropathy) and low blood flow to
the legs and feet.
The most serious injury is a foot ulcer. Diabetic foot
ulcers
are at very high risk of becoming infected, and sometimes
they
cannot be healed. Non-healing foot ulcers are a frequent
cause of amputation
in people with diabetes. Patients with
foot ulcers may use wound dressings,
skin substitutes, or
other treatments to protect and heal their
skin.
Wound dressings are medical devices that are used
to
protect ulcerated skin and assist in its healing. They
can range from
simple bandages that you can buy in the
drug store to complex materials that
contain antibacterial
and antiviral substances.
Skin substitutes are products that help in closing
the
wounds of slow healing ulcers in patients with diabetes.
They are made
from human cells known as fibroblasts that are
placed on a dissolvable mesh
material. When the mesh material
is placed on the ulcer, it is gradually
absorbed and the human
cells grow and replace the damaged tissue in the
ulcer.

THE SECRET'S IN THE MARINADE
Marinades are especially popular during the
grilling
season. They enhance tenderness as well as taste. And,
in
mysterious ways scientists don't completely understand,
marinades work magic
combating the harmful carcinogens
that form when meat, fish, or poultry is
grilled.
Here are two marinades – one with the flavors
of
India, the other, of Polynesia. They are especially
appropriate for
summertime grilling and work equally
well with poultry, red meat and
seafood.
RAJ-STYLE MARINADE
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
- 2
Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp.
minced garlic
- 2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 tsp. ground
turmeric
- 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
- Salt and white pepper
to taste
Directions
Place yogurt, lemon juice and seasonings in a
blender
and mix at low speed until well combined.
Place chicken breasts (or other kinds of meat) in a
non-metal
pan. Add yogurt mixture, mixing with a wooden or plastic
spoon
until chicken is well coated. Cover the pan and marinate in
the
refrigerator up to 60 minutes.
Take chicken out of marinade and remove excess marinade
with
paper toweling. Grill chicken until cooked through (when
juices run
clear), turning frequently to prevent charring.
Makes enough for 4 servings (for 3/4-1 lb.
skinless
chicken breasts).

- 1/2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. dried hot
red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix on low
speed
until smooth. Transfer to a non-metal pan. Add meat, poultry,
or
fish and mix with a non-metal spoon until thoroughly coated.
Cover and let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature
or
refrigerate for 1 hour. Take food out of marinade and remove
excess
marinade with paper toweling. Grill until cooked,
turning frequently to
prevent charring.
Makes enough marinade for 3/4 to 1 lb. meat, chicken
or
fish, or 4 servings.

vessels of the eye by tracing the progress of an
injected dye.
NEPHROPATHY
Disease of the kidneys caused by damage
to the
small blood vessels or to the units in the kidneys
that clean the
blood. People who have had diabetes
for a long time may have kidney
damage.
PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Damage to the gums. People who

TOLBUTAMIDE
A pill taken to lower the level of
glucose
(sugar) in the blood. Only some people with
noninsulin-dependent
diabetes take these pills.
RISK FACTOR

person will get a
disease. With noninsulin-dependent diabetes, people
have
a greater risk of getting the disease if they weigh a lot
more (20
percent or more) than they should.
=========================
DIABETES Q AND
A:
=========================
QUESTION:
What does monitoring my blood glucose
entail?
ANSWER:
The process of monitoring one's own blood glucose with
a
glucose meter is often referred to as self-monitoring of
blood glucose
or "SMBG." To test for glucose with a typical
glucose meter, place a small
sample of blood on a disposable
"test strip" and place the strip in the
meter.
The test strips are coated with chemicals (glucose
oxidase,
dehydrogenase, or hexokinase) that combine with glucose in
blood.
The meter measures how much glucose is present.
Meters do this in different ways. Some measure the
amount of
electricity that can pass through the sample. Others measure
how
much light reflects from it. The meter displays the glucose
level as a
number. Several new models can record and store
a number of test results.
Some models can connect to personal
computers to store test results or print
them out.
