But if you have diabetes, your body doesn’t make insulin (type 1 diabetes) or doesn’t respond to it normally (type 2 diabetes). That can leave your blood sugar too high for too long. Over time, this can damage nerves and blood vessels and lead to heart disease and other problems. ...
For people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, chronically elevated blood sugar levels can lead to diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage) causing pain or tingling in different areas of the body, especially the fingers and toes—and affecting communication throughout the nervous system. Poor blood ...
Nerve damage. Some lab animals got tremors and other movement problems similar to symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Low blood pressure.Graviola could lead to a drop in blood pressure in animals and humans. This may cause trouble if you already have low blood pressure or on medication to lower...
Diabetes is for most people an irreversible medical diagnosis; once you have it, you have it. But the quality of diabetes control isn't so rigid, so whether or not you have high or low blood sugar strongly depends on how well your diabetes is controlled. I think this is really where th...
Bell’s palsy—This form of facial paralysis, most commonly an acute mononeuropathy, is due to damage or trauma of cranial nerve seven. Expanding your knowledge so that you can easily identify, assess, and treat these three common neuropathies will allow you to offer your neurological patients ...
Why can the consumption of ethanol result in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)? How does dehydration affect our heart and what is the role of the nervous system in this? Summarize one possible biological mechanism that has to do with non-fat alcoholic fatty liver disease. Provide a brief ...
Obesity can affect the success rate of cancer therapy in patients. Researchers pointed out that obese patients often have a significantly increased risk of heart attack, wound infection, nerve damage, and urinary tract infection after surgery. At the same time, obesity can also increase the risk ...
This improved circulation to the scalp and hair follicles has benefits that go beyond hair growth: when oxygenated blood and nutrients are delivered to this part of the body, it canpotentially promote nerve growthas well, which can lead to hair growth. ...
Although the mechanism behinddiabetic neuropathy(damage to nerve fibers) is unclear, it appears to involve sugar-induced oxidant damage to nerve cells.49A study of human brain cells in culture showed that saffron extract markedly decreases the sugar toxicity that causes the damage.49 ...
If type 2 diabetes is not treated or managed well, it can lead to serious health problems. These include a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision loss. It’s important to prevent or manage type 2 diabetes. You can do this by eating healthier, sta...
