Diabetic Ulcers
In extreme cases of Diabetic ulcer we see that the ulcer looks pale and whitish in color. Why? An injury should look reddish in color. An improving ulcer gets redder and redder. This is because there is no blood circulation inside ulcer. Infact ulcer if not caused after injury is caused after itching and this is because of death and rejection of cells or tissues getting no blood supply. If there is no blood circulation we must know that the ulcer is not going to heal because all the essential nutrients required to heal ulcer is accumulated in blood. But blood is not reaching the area where it should be. This is because the blood vessels around the ulcer is blocked. Human body realize the need and due to the virtue of negative feedback mechanism increase blood glucose, cholesterol and protein concentration so that the minimal blood that might reach the ulcer shall carry maximum nutrients and be utilized to heal the ulcer. It is not glucose in the blood but the diminished blood supply that cause of ulcer. The negative feedback mechanism force the body to maintain high blood sugar in circulation. But we people keep on trying to reduce blood sugar. People with severe arthrosis also show increased blood glucose and cholesterol. These substances are highly essential for wound healing. We already know that glucose is energy provider of human body. The rise in blood sugar is almost proportional to requirements of a healing ulcer. If not convinced then what do you think are these ulcers. How would they heal.
Here again increased blood sugar is a requirement and not a burden.
Renal clues
Body has its intact drainage mechanism to expel glucose. In extreme cases we see that renal expulsion of sugar is high. In normal case excess glucose expelled through kidneys is reabsorbed by distal convoluted tubule back in to circulation. If blood sugar in diabetic is high as we think the kidneys should be expelling proportional sugar from the system. But it is found that in type 11 diabetic patients reabsorption rate of glucose through kidneys is more than in normal persons. If glucose concentration in diabetic patients are already more why are kidneys reabsorbing sugar in a higher rate?
In case of gestational diabetes where pregnant mothers are in need of extra energy what is wrong in slight raised blood glucose. This rise is be due to obstruction in umbilical code, or any anatomical or systemic complaint in the fetus which is causing mother’s body to produce more glucose. Average weight of infants are going high. Women with gestational diabetes are bearing overweighed babies. Research on diabetes has already taken wrong direction when insulin was isolated and all our focus stuck on it.
Severe osteoarthrosis cases also need high amount of glucose to improve the situation as it is the only known source of energy and we learned fools put them in to trouble by lowering blood glucose saying it would damage their joints..
So through any angle it is clear that higher glucose level in human is a necessity of the hour and not a disease and reducing the sugar level by dieting or medication can lead in to serious troubles. You need to find not a more effective but the only effective way out to resolve this crisis and the effectiveness of todays management is not up to the mark as the real cause is still unseen or unrecognised but obviously not unknown because effective treatment does exist in various parts of world today.
Thankyou
Good observations. This post might bring a change in view on health and diabetes.
