In fact, they have concluded that the test could pinpoint the pre-incidence symptoms of the disease. They have further claimed their finding could effectively spot diabetes almost a decade before those symptoms blow up into a full-blown diabetes case. Such detections at an early stage can avoid complications like blindness too.

Though researches are on to make the blood test a full-proof one, the Harvard team of scientists is optimistic that their analyses will bear fruit in the near future. Dr Robert Gerszten and his colleagues are carrying on this field-clinical examination.

The scientists have followed the hitherto believed theory that early diagnosis of the symptoms is the best means to controlling the ailment. The American health detectives have been able to identify the diabetes-prone patients who subsequently developed type-2 diabetes by analyzing the levels of five amino acids in their blood. The researchers looked for the levels in the patients’ blood. The study mentions that 201 health volunteers of the total 2,422 subsequently developed the ailment. The blood tests acutely identified those 201 patients much earlier than they their bodies showed any of the symptoms of diabetes.

The volunteers with the highest levels of amino acids in their blood stream had the risk of developing diabetes five times more than the others within the 12 years of the research.

More researches are required before the test could be recommended for all, commented Dr Gerszten.

Speaking to Nature Medicine the head of research at Diabetes UK, Dr Victoria King, observed, “”Early diagnosis and effective management of type 2 diabetes are crucial in reducing the risk of developing diabetes complications, such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and amputation. Therefore finding ways to identify those who are at risk of developing the condition are important.”

Dwelling on risk prediction, Dr King stated: “This research, in future, could lead to ways to help us identify those at risk as well as giving us new insights into how and why type 2 diabetes develops.”

On the preventive measures, the researcher added:  “In many cases the condition can be prevented or delayed by maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle.”
Actually obesity, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of high calorie food and lack of physical exercise increases the risk of contracting the type 2 diabetes.
Hence, it is must that a person must keep an eye on his blood sugar level, weight, and must have a robust (physically active) lifestyle.

“This research, in future, could lead to ways to help us identify those at risk as well as giving us new insights into how and why type 2 diabetes develops,” Dr Gerszten concluded.

DIABETES: WHAT IS IT ACTUALLY?

* It is that condition when the body fails to utilize the glucose in the blood as it is higher than required.
* Type 1 diabetes: The insulin-producing cells are destroyed. Then the body simply cannot to manufacture insulin.
* Type 2 diabetes: The human body cannot produce the required amount of insulin; it can also develop if the produced insulin fails to work as required.
* Approximately 85-95% of the diabetics suffer from the Type-2 diabetes.
* The prescription for type-2 diabetes is physical activity and a wholesome diet and.
* Of course insulin and/or medication may be required for some.

The occurrence of Type-2, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus can only be realized after a routine urine test or a blood test shows presence of excessive glucose. In this type of diabetes the level of insulin in the blood may be normal but the body cells may refuse to accept insulin which may lead to excessive presence of sugar in the bloodstream.
Almost 80 percent of the patients are found to be overweight with the Type-2, non-insulin-dependent diabetes. It is not fully clear what may lead to resistance of insulin. Excess weight and fatty tissues are the most important factors leading to type -2 non-insulin-dependent diabetes. However, type-2 is the most common form of diabetes with 85-90 percent of all the cases. Article by © www.diabetessymptomscare.com

Type 2 diabetes is also termed as NIDDM. The acronym stands for non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Here are the factors that lead to the type 2 diabetes syndrome.

*Age a key agent : Type-2 diabetes can occur at any age!

Nonetheless, most of the type 2 diabetes patients are in 50-plus age group.

* Genetic factors : If any of the parents is a diabetic, the possibility of the progeny contracting type-2 diabetes is about 5%.

* Sedentary life : Respect your body, and the body will do the same! Stop being a couch potato.

Start exercising, keep diabetes at bay!

* Don’t be obese : Check the girth of your waist and also the fat content of your body.

Women should start the waist-reducing regimen if the girth is 35 inches.

Men fall in the danger zone if their waist girth is 40 inches.

Insofar as the body fat content is concerned it should not cross BMI 25. In simple terms, the fat content of the body must be less than 30%.

* Check Tension : Stress or tension has been identified as one of the key agents causing diabetes.

* Hypertension : The common name of hypertension is ‘high blood pressure’ or systolic pressure. It leads to type-2 diabetes.

* Lipoproteins & Serum lipids : Lipoproteins are packets of cholesterol – a waxy, soft fatty element in the blood while serum lipids refer to the fats content in the bloodstream.

* Malnutrition/ poor diet : Type 2 diabetes occurs due to wrong food habits.

Medical studies have found that patients suffering from type-2 diabetes generally consume refined oils or other foodstuffs prepared in such oils, or their diet includes fast food. They rarely have meals that are rich in fiber content. Their meals also suffer from low protein content.

* Infection : One of the agents that cause type-2 diabetes besides septicemia and pneumonia is the bacteria ‘strephylococci’.

This bacteria cause infection in pancreas – the organ that produces the hormone insulin that controls sugar in the body.

*Typical sexual life : Type 2 diabetes is common among women suffering from the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or even those who have had pregnancies several times.

* Drug induced: Type 2 Diabetes can also be the result of consuming certain drugs like Geodon (ziprasidone), Seroquel (quetiapine), Risperdal (risperidone), Zyprexa (olanzapine ), and Clozaril (Clozapine) among others.
