“The costs of care for this disease (diabetes), not established timely interventions could bankrupt the health system of the country the next decade.”
financial-crisisSe for Mexico but I think it is a situation that is affecting most countries and cities around the world, specifically the “developed” world. It seems incredible, but the more money government spends on treating a disease, more cases of this disease (like diabetes) appear. According to the news I read, “In the last three years have invested about 17 billion pesos in the construction and equipping of 800 medical units of different sizes.”
The relationship should be reversed, do not you think? The more you spend on treating an illness, fewer cases of the disease. Not so.
In my humble opinion the problem is that they are spending all that money just to “treat” disease, not prevent or cure them. Treating a disease means that you develop a system to keep the disease at the same point, ie neither improve nor worsen. And this is how the pharmaceutical industry earns billions of dollars, euros or the currency that is, keeping the disease.
Another rooster sing if they were the patients themselves, the people who decide where to spend public money (the money we all paying).
But anyway, they say every cloud has a silver lining, so you might “need” to occur to bankrupt the health system there is a change in the way of treating the health of citizens

1. Eating healthy: eating plan is a customized and appropriate to the needs and tastes of the family is central to your nutrition, to keep or get a proper weight and, above all, maintain optimal levels of glucose.
The scientists showed functional artificial pancreas to regulate blood sugar levels in children with type 1 diabetes. The results of this research is a step forward in diabetes research.
In these trials, the scientists combine sensors “real time” which measures glucose levels with insulin pumps that deliver so that they can control blood sugar levels overnight. This will significantly reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (blood sugar too low). Read the rest of this entry »

Type I diabetes is characterized by inadequate pancreatic insulin secretion, and the consequent need for replacement of the hormone daily via subcutaneous injections. In the absence of insulin, glucose transport into cells is hindered, causing a progressive hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis. Individuals with type II diabetes (or adult onset) are usually older than 45 years and normally undergo insulin resistance rather than a quantitative insufficiency. Typically, oral medications and weight loss are able to control hyperglycemia in type II diabetes without insulin application. Read the rest of this entry »
