(Newswire.net — December 17, 2013) Boston, MA — The human brain is demonstrating to have a greater affect on how the body regulates blood glucose than was first thought. These new findings are promising as they provide proactive ways to potentially treat and prevent the harmful effects associated with diabetes.
Researchers plan to use this information to curb the rapid spread of diabetes, which is projected to affect 1 out of every 3 adults in the next 30 years.
Since its been discovered nearly a century ago, insulin has been the primary treatment and prevention method for diabetes. Managing the levels of insulin or increasing insulin resistance are effective treatment of diabetes, but they are also treatment steps implemented after diabetes is diagnosed. Proactive treatment, including diet, exercise and lifestyle changes are recommended as a way to prevent diabetes before the condition develops.
Doctors are now suggesting that blood sugar levels be controlled through the use of a two-step proactive approach. The first step improves the production of insulin when blood glucose is too high; the second step increases the metabolism of blood sugar, a process initiated by signals sent from the brain.
Treatment of diabetes through insulin management is effective, but may only be half as effective as it could be. Improved diet, exercise,and meaningful lifestyle changes are essential for prevention and treatment of this dangerous condition.
