What is substitution treatment for Diabetic persons instead of injection Insulin?

I think you mean Type I... and that means insulin dependent.  Type I diabetics lack the ability to make their own insulin because the body has destroyed its ability to do so.  Until they find another way to administer insulin, I am afraid injection is the only route now.  However, they are looking into on that can be inhaled through the nose, like nasal spray.  You might want to look into that.

No, it is not a cure.  It will help to temporarily lower your blood sugar by helping to make insulin more effective at getting blood sugar from the blood stream into your cells.  \n\nUntil they come up for a cure for diabetes and its precursor condition - hyperinsulinemia - the best advice is to find a diet that lowers your intake of sugar and foods high in natural sugar (high glycemic).  There are many books available at your local library.\n\nCheck out www.hufa.org for more info on blood sugar imbalances.

In foreseeable future no cure for Diabetes is is known.Type 2 Diabetes is generally seen in overweight people who eat well but exercise less.Stirct dieting ,strenuous exercise almost always reduces blood glucose to acceptable levels.But many do not follow this regimen .Such men and women should take two typed of drugs. 1)Metformin etc. These drugs facilitate the transfer of Insulin from blood to cells where Insulin is needed.2)Sulfonyl ureas. These drugs stimulate beta cells of Pancreas  to produce more Insulin.Generally a combination of these is used.\nAny claim of cure is only from quacks.Consult your doctor.

Diabetics have a pancreatic disorder in which they can not produce insuline.\nInsuline is secreted when we eat all types of sugars. It does not destroy or remove it. It aids the body in utilizing the sugar for energy and storage.\nInsuline injections do the same. It replaces what the body should have created, but can not.\nHowever, there are different types of diabetes. Some people just eat too much sugar and do not produce anough insuline. Those are usually the overwieght. These people can control thier diabetes through a strict diet plan and sometimes not take any meds at all.\nFor those that produce no insuline, it doesn't matter how much sugar you eat or how much you wiegh, you will always need injections.

I have diabetes and I know preactacally everything there is to know about the disease becaused I've done considerable research.  It affects different people in different ways.  Your question is incomprehensible.  I suppose for lack of a better question you can think of.  All I know is that human insulin can be made in a lab and thats a good thing, because we diabetics do not have to rely on animals or people to get insulin from them.

the sugar mentioned in "blood sugar" is glucose.  natural sugars and starches are metabolized to glucose.  if you use a sweetener that is not a carbohydrate, those with chemical formula Cn(H2O)n, you probably won't see an increase in glucose (although, since there is carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen present in those artificial sweeteners, it is theoretically possible for your body to build glucose out of their metabolites).  For example, aspartame has the chemical formula C14H18N2O5.  in order to raise your blood glucose, your body would need to convert this to C6H12O6.  i'm not aware of any enzyme that catalyzes this conversion.  xylitol, sucralose, saccharin, and others do not have the necessary Cn(H2O)n structure to be converted to glucose.\n\non the other hand, your body still needs glucose for efficient energy production, so it will convert other molecules in your body-- such as glycogen, triglycerides, and proteins-- into glucose.  it sounds like you are doing all the right things... exercising will help you get rid of extra glucose storage forms (fat, glycogen) as well as keep your muscle proteins from being broken down and converted to glucose.  controlling your diet is going to be extremely difficult, as carbohydrates are present in pretty much everything, from bread to milk to fruit... you are forcing a big change on your body and it will probably be very stubborn about accepting it.  so your glucose levels will probably drop very gradually provided you follow your doctor's advise precisely.  you may notice that eating foods sweetened with artificial sweeteners actually cause you to crave more sweets.  it's frustrating, i know...\n\nif you are an adult, as i suspect you are, then you most likely have what is known as type II insulin-resistant or adult-onset diabetes mellitus.  your pancreas makes plenty of insulin, but your liver doesn't recognize it.  so taking insulin supplements will not help you.  i know some people who have been diagnosed with type II diabetes and they take insulin shots, but there is no medical or biological reason why they should.  it's generally a bad idea to overdose your body with any hormone.  then again, i suppose it is possible that you had juvenile diabetes which went undiagnosed.  in that case, you are probably taking the wrong medication for your condition, and insulin injections may be a very good option.\n\nmetformin is great for reducing insulin-resistance (allowing your body to use the insulin that it has been producing), but it doesn't work for everyone.  since you are taking a metformin combination, you've probably already tried regular metformin, right?  have you tried any other anti-diabetic medications?  there are a number of good ones out there, talk to your doctor about your individual needs.  you might ask about thiazolidinediones like avandia which also help you use the insulin your pancreas makes.\n\nif at any time your pancreas stops functioning for whatever reason (worn out, cancer, whatever) you will need insulin supplements.

Insulin injections cause diabetics to metabolize glucose, because their body can't produce it.  If a person with a normal metabolism injected insulin they could become hypoglycemic, may go in to a coma, and could die.

It is Type II, however it is not curable as the other person said. Most people benefit from losing weight and watching carb intake but that is often not enough to keep things in control. There are oral medications that work for many and of course insulin.

there realy arn't any side effects to insulin just low blood sugar if you take too much for the amount of food and activity you take in.  The diabetic drugs available today are only able to work if you have some insulin production in your body and tery are all different.  Some help work with the liver by not sending out sugar into ypur blood stream.  You (your doctor) have to find the right mix for you, your body, your type of diabetes.

An insulin pump is a device used for administering insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.\n\nThe device consists principally of three parts :\n\nthe pump itself including controls, processing module, and batteries \ndelivery tube to carry the insulin \nneedle or more commonly a catheter inserted into the body subcutaneously \nThe insulin pump delivers a single type of fast-acting insulin in two ways :\n\na basal (small) dose that is delivered constantly \na bolus dose that is delivered before meals or to correct high blood glucose levels \n \nInsulin pump in useBecause a single type of insulin is used, it is easier to determine the effect of a given dose by looking at the delivery profile of that insulin. Insulin pumps also make it possible to deliver much smaller amounts of insulin than can be injected using a syringe. This provides tighter control over blood sugar and Hemoglobin A1c levels, reducing the chance of long-term complications associated with diabetes.\n\nThe amount of insulin delivered for a bolus is determined by the bloodsugar level and the grams of carbohydrates consumed. In all cases, delivery rates are determined by the user in consultation with his endocrinologist. Currently there is no means to automatically control the insulin delivery based on the blood glucose level of the user. However, the two main manufacturers of pumps, Medtronic (Paradigm, Minimed), and Roche Diagnostics (Disetronic H-Tron and D-Tron) are testing the concept of a closed-loop system but even if the concept is as promising as it appears there remains the legal problem of what happens if the system is incorrect. For example, continuous blood glucose monitoring technology can report very wide variances of blood glucose. Using the non-US measuring system of mmol/l a closed-system that detects glucose of say, 15 mmol/l might dispense 10u of fast acting insulin. If the patient has an actual glucose of 6 mmol/l (within the accepted glycaemic range), those 10 units of insulin could very quickly lead to hypoglycaemic coma which if not recognised and treated can kill very quickly. There is a lot more research to do on CBGM technology but the first closed-loop systems may be made available for clinical trials by mid-2006.\n\nUse of insulin pumps is increasing as it provides an easier means to deliver multiple insulin injections for those using intensive insulin therapy. It's also interesting to note that because of differences in health insurance and public funding, the US has about 150,000 pump users. In the UK, where public funding is limited, most patients have to self-finance their pumps. Because of this, there are maybe 1100 pump users in the UK by comparison.

It can be used for diabetes or pre-diabetes.  It has been used for pre-diabetics for weight loss.

I created a thread answering this question on another message board recently.  That can be seen here:\n\nhttp://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=24638&t=246909&\n\nBasically, I wear a pump.  It infuses insulin into me continuously, and when I eat, I type in the amount of carbohydrates I am eating so I can get a larger amount of insulin to cover for it.\n\nI test my blood sugar 8-10 times a day.\n\nI have to carry my pump, syringes, extra insulin, meter, and glucose tabs with me all the time in case I go low or high.\n\nI see my doctor for blood work every 3 months of so.  Lately it has been less.

Lots of rubbish answers here, sorry Mr/Mrs Asker.\n\nIf the answerers actually read the question - the asker isn't looking for what to do normally to keep his health in check - but wants to know what to do on the occasions it goes a bit AWOL, as happens to all of us now and again.\n\nI'm type 1, so can't help you here (it seems a lot easier to deal with short term probs like this when you're on injections), but it seems you'll be better off speaking to your doc as people don't seem to be able or willing to answer.

Especially in Type 2 diabetics, there is considerable variation in response to insulin. You are still producing some, but your production rate and the response of your body cells (actually about 2/3 of them) is such that you need that long. \n\nIt is too long, really, and you should discuss with your doctor whether you should go on medication of some kind. One of the sulfonylureas is probably what will be prescribed; these have the effect of making ht epancreas output more insulin than before at the same level of blood glucose. They usually have little other effect, and they may be enough to bring your glucose down to reasonable levels in a reasonable time. \n\nOr you can rely on exercise to do the controlling, but there may not be enough time available for that...

At this point stem cell research is still very much in the testing stage when it comes to curing diabetics. I would strongly advise you away from this option for right now. There are some child friendly ways to administer insulin, and any pediatric endocrinologist would be more then happy to help you find ways to make sure your son can get used to being diabetic. \n\nBut like I said before - the cure for diabetes is not here yet. If the people behind these sites are claiming a cure, they're lying. What they're more then likely looking for are test subjects. Which is dangerous and best left to diabetic patients who can make that choice for themselves - not a 6 year old boy.

Inhaled insulin is an alternative to Insulin injections or pumps as a way to treat insulin dependent Diabetes. This procedure is under study and not yet released by the FDA in US or in any other countries. Procedure will be similar to devices to treat Asthma, but sending insulin to the lungs and then to the blood stream instead
