This just above basal level of insulin is adequate to tackle the increase in blood glucose levels after meals and does not cause severe hypoglycaemia, a low sugar condition, in the morning, a dreadful condition faced by diabetics, he said.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAccording to Surolia, SIA-II upon injection forms a depot at the site, from where insulin monomers are released which act on the body's cells to regulate uptake of glucose for months after a single injection. This is in contrast to the existing treatment method in which the patient needs to inject insulin at least twice a day for maintaining glucose levels. And even then blood glucose still increases between the meals as the insulin injected gets degraded very soon. SIA-II is unique as it is continuously releasing insulin in the body regularly thereby affording a way to curb increases in glucose levels in between meals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe technique is being seen as one with tremendous therapeutic potential and constitutes a new way of treatment for diabetic patients. Experiments carried out by the group in the laboratory have demonstrated that SIA-II acts as a pure and compact source of insulin and that the reason for its long-term bio-availability is its protection from destruction because of its presentation in a compact form.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe research may also give a direction for new therapeutic approaches for various diseases. The hormone insulin is the key regulator of energy and glucose metabolism in the body, besides playing a role in development during growing up years. The fine balance of maintaining the required insulin concentrations in the blood is performed by pancreas.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAt present, diabetes afflicts nearly 200 million people across the world with a large chunk of patients being in India and China. The latest research is an attempt to address the issue of multiple injections.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E- PTI"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/hypedtalk.blogspot.com\/feeds\/7280728208072595844\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=5403865830110720728\u0026postID=7280728208072595844\u0026isPopup=true","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5403865830110720728\/posts\/default\/7280728208072595844"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5403865830110720728\/posts\/default\/7280728208072595844"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/hypedtalk.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/new-insulin-form-may-keep-sugar-low-in.html","title":"New insulin form may keep sugar low in diabetics for 3 months ."}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Gee TEE"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/05453399516295661171"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403865830110720728.post-9091155676457587093"},"published":{"$t":"2010-06-15T16:23:00.000+05:30"},"updated":{"$t":"2010-06-15T16:23:16.170+05:30"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"diabetes"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"health"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"study"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"White rice raises diabetes risk !!!"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"Replacing white rice with brown rice and wholemeal bread could cut the risk of diabetes by a third, US experts say.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhite rice poses a diabetes threat because it causes steep rises in blood sugar, say Harvard researchers in Archives of Internal Medicine.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBrown rice and other wholegrain foods are a healthier option as they release glucose more gradually, they say.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe study is based on questionnaires;
