Leaky Gut and Diabetes: Whats the Connection?
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are complicated and an extremely difficult condition to handle. The high levels of blood glucose caused by diabetes can lead to several other problems in the body of the diabetic patients . One such problem is the problem of a leaky gut or intestinal permeability as it is so called. Diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes is known to have a strong connection with the condition of leaky gut. We shall analyze this relationship further in the article that follows. So, come and join in for the article Leaky Gut and Diabetes: Whats the Connection?
What is a Leaky Gut and What Are Its Symptoms?
The leaky gut condition is also known as intestinal permeability. In this condition, the lining of the intestine becomes permeable. In a person who is healthy, the cells of the intestine are held close together and the glucose from the various food that we eat is absorbed by the cells to produce the much-needed energy in the body. However, if you are someone who is suffering from a leaky gut problem, you will have spaces between these cells. These spaces enable bacteria, toxins, as well as various allergy-causing substances to enter the small intestine, causing various problems and complications.
When you have a leaky gut, you tend to experience the following warning signs:
It also causes the joints and muscles to pain

Diabetes is a disease that is far more prevalent than people think, but contrary to popular belief it is not one that if managed well should stop you from travelling or jumping into your own adventures around the world. It is more than possible to travel with diabetes and this post will give you all the essential information you need to know.
As a qualified nurse I get a lot of questions about travelling with diabetes on my travel clinic . I always advise people that it is entirely possible if you manage it well, and with the right preparations and the right amount of knowledge, it is not something that should be a barrier to travelling the world or doing anything you want to do at all. So lets get down to it and take you through this step by step guide to travelling with diabetes.
Diabetes is essentially a long term condition where a persons blood sugar levels (glucose) are too high and cannot be used properly by the body. If left untreated or unmanaged it can cause a lot of serious long term side effects and complications . There are 2 basic types of diabetes.
Type 1: This is a predominantly genetic autoimmune disease where the body doesnt produce insulin, the thing that is needed to carry glucose from food into your cells to be used for energy. This means that glucose levels in the blood can rise very quickly. This type of diabetes will require regular insulin injections.
Type 2: This is much more common, making up the absolute majority of all diabetes ca Continue reading

7m to establish Scotland-India partnership to tackle diabetes
Published On Fri 14 Jul 2017 by Roddy Isles
The University of Dundee has been awarded a 7million grant from the National Institute of Health Research Global Health programme to establish a major new Scotland-India clinical partnership to combat diabetes.
The NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Diabetes Outcomes Research project will see Dundees world leading expertise in the use of medical records to deliver improved care in diabetes `twinned with the large patient data set (covering over 400,000 Indian diabetic patients) collected by Dr Mohans Diabetes Specialities Centres , the largest clinical network of diabetes care in India.
Diabetes in India and Scotland will be compared and contrasted to determine the common and specific problems in both countries, with the aim of providing an improvement in health and reduction in health inequalities in India and Scotland.
The Dundee project is one of 33 research units and groups sharing over 120 million of funding for Global Health Research announced today by the Department of Health.
Diabetes is a major problem in India with 1 in 12 people affected, amounting to 69 million individuals currently, which is more than the entire UK population, said Professor Colin Palmer , Chair of Pharmacogenomics at the University of Dundee and lead for the new research unit.
With increasing economic development and lifestyle changes those numbers are rapidly increasing.
Yet current knowledge on how diabetes develops, how patients respond to medications and the causes of medica Continue reading

NINJABETIC – Going offline is good for the soul

It’s difficult to put into words how joining the Diabetes Online Community made me feel six years ago. I was welcomed into a small, but vibrant community, filled with kind and caring people whose common interests were to share, support and help other people with diabetes. I’m pleased to say that this continues today, and it has been wonderful to watch the community grow so quickly into a huge family of supporters.
I very quickly found I was a part of something big and that felt really good. I had never felt needed or wanted before, or that I had that “special something” which helped me to belong, but living with type 1 diabetes seemed to give me that. I felt at home in the community and it was wonderful to finally feel like I mattered. It actually came as quite a surprise to me as, previously diabetes had always been a drag, it was unwanted and I had always felt that it held me back. However, being a part of the community showed me that diabetes could give me wonderful friendships and opportunities. This was a much needed change of perspective on my part.
‘Diabetes experience’
Soon I started being invited to all sorts of meetings, to talk at patient, professional, charity and pharma conferences, to be involved with a number of local and national projects, to write for national newspapers and medical journals and to be consulted on the birth and development of new and existing diabetes technologies – all of which were (and still are) a great honour!
I found it difficult to believe that people wanted to fly me across the globe to talk about my experience of livi Continue reading

Why Did God Give Me Diabetes?

On December 19, 2014, I woke up to a phone call from a diabetic educator. This struck me as a little odd because I hadnt been officially diagnosed with diabetes yet (the nurse who called me the day before said I had blood sugar levels they saw in Type 1 Diabetics). I scheduled my appointment with her after meeting with the doctor who would tell me that I do in fact have Type 1 Diabetes.
That day was filled with several activities to keep me busy: a doctor appointment, trying (and failing) to get my insulin, meeting with a diabetic educator, picking up blood sugar testing supplies, successfully picking up insulin, packing my car, and driving six hours home from my university for winter break. I had been so busy doing things, and it had come on so quickly (I hadnt even realized how sick I was), that I didnt really have time to emotionally process my diagnosis.
When I finally paused and reflected on my situation, I felt incredibly frustrated at the utter lack of fairness. I was convinced I had done nothing to deserve this horrible disease. I angrily questioned God about why, after the worst couple months of my life, He decided to give me diabetes. I suppose if I had actually listened to Him, I wouldve gotten through the bitterness a little easier Continue reading
