Traditional Indian medicine, herb Salacia oblonga may help treat
diabetes Posted By: News-Medical in Medical Study News
Published: Tuesday, 8-Feb-2005 Printer Friendly Email to a
Friend : : : : Herbs used in traditional Indian medicine to
treat diabetes seems to lower blood sugar and insulin levels in
a manner similar to prescription drugs, a new study reports.
Researchers gave extracts of the herb Salacia oblonga to 39
healthy adults, and the results were promising. The largest dose
of the herb extract – 1,000 milligrams – decreased insulin and
blood glucose levels by 29 and 23 percent, respectively. : :
“These kinds of reductions are similar to what we might see with
prescription oral medications for people with diabetes,” said
Steve Hertzler, a study co-author and an assistant professor of
nutrition at Ohio State University. : : Salacia oblonga, which
is native to regions of India and Sri Lanka, binds to intestinal
enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the body. These
enzymes, called alpha-glucosidases, turn carbohydrates into
glucose, the sugar that circulates throughout the body. If the
enzyme binds to the herbal extract rather than to a
carbohydrate, then less glucose gets into the blood stream,
resulting in lowered blood glucose and insulin levels. : :
“Lowering blood glucose levels lowers the risk of
disease-related complications in people with diabetes,” Hertzler
said. “Also, poor compliance with diabetes medications often
hinders the effectiveness of these drugs. It may be easier to
get someone to take an herb with food or in a beverage, as
opposed to a pill.” : : The study appears in a recent issue of
the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. : :
Thirty-nine healthy adults participated in four separate meal
tolerance tests. These meals, which were given in beverage form,
were spaced three to 14 days apart. Each participant fasted for
at least 10 hours before consuming the test beverage. : :
Participants were asked to drink about two cups’ worth of the
chilled beverage, which contained zero, 500, 700 or 1,000
milligrams of Salacia oblonga extract. Afterward, the
researchers used the finger-prick method to draw blood samples
from each person every 15 to 30 minutes for three hours. These
blood samples were used to determine insulin and blood glucose
concentrations. The biggest changes in blood glucose and insulin
levels usually happen within the first two hours after eating. :
: The beverage that contained the highest concentration of the
herbal extract – 1,000 milligrams – provided the most dramatic
reduction in insulin and blood glucose levels. Insulin levels
were 29 percent lower, while blood glucose levels were 23
percent lower as compared to the control drink, which contained
no herbal extract. : : As Salacia oblonga can cause intestinal
gas, the researchers had the study participants collect breath
hydrogen samples hourly for eight hours after drinking the test
beverage. The participants collected their breath in small
plastic tubes. The researchers then analyzed these breath
samples for hydrogen and methane content – the level of either
substance in the breath corresponds to the level contained in
the colon. : : The subjects also rated the frequency and
intensity of nausea, abdominal cramping and distention and gas
for two days after consuming each test meal. : : While the test
beverages containing Salacia oblonga caused an increase in
breath hydrogen excretion, reports of gastrointestinal
discomfort were minimal, Hertzler said. : : Right now he and his
colleagues are trying to figure out what dose of the herb is
most effective, and when it should be taken relative to a meal.
: : “We want to know how long it takes for the herb to bind to
the enzymes that break down carbohydrates,” Hertzler said. “The
participants in this study took the herb with their meal, but
maybe taking it before eating would be even more effective.” : :
The researchers also want to study the effects of Salacia
oblonga in people with diabetes. : : “A lot of studies show that
lowering blood sugar levels reduces the risk for all kinds of
diabetes-related complications, such as kidney disease and nerve
and eye damage,” Hertzler said. “We want to see if this herb has
this kind of effect.” : : Salacia oblonga is still relatively
difficult to find in the United States, Hertzler said, although
there are manufacturers that sell the herb through the Internet.
: : This study was supported by the Ross Products Division of
Abbott Laboratories in Columbus. : : Hertzler is continuing to
conduct Salacia oblonga studies with the Ross Products Division
of Abbott Laboratories. He has no links to the company beyond
this affiliation. : : Hertzler conducted the work with former
Ohio State colleague Patricia Heacock, who is now at Rutgers,
the State University of New Jersey; Jennifer Williams, a
clinical scientist with Ross Products Division, Abbott
Laboratories; and Bryan Wolf, a former research scientists with

Resveratrol is being heralded by scientists and researchers as an anti-aging miracle drug that can help ward off the effects of age-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, strokes, obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
Resveratrol is not new, scientists have been studying its effects for many years. Resveratrol is known for its ability to protect plants from bacteria and fungi, while previous research has also found it helps prevent the negative effects of high-calorie diets and has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer potential. As a cancer preventer, resveratrol is most effective in studies when it comes in direct contact with the cancer, such as skin cancer or gastrointestinal tumors. If you do drink, switching to red wine might be a healthier option than other forms of alcohol, but if you don’t drink, resveratrol is not a reason to start.
Renata Nyleve Editor of the “How To Reverse Diabetes” website — http://www.HowToReverseDiabetes.org — pointed out;
“…A novel group of drugs that target a gene linked to longevity could provide a way to turn back the clock on the diseases of aging. Resveratrol has also been reported to act as a certain activator, and this property has been proposed to account for its anti-aging effects. Is it likely that drinking red wine, eating grapes or taking resveratrol in the form of supplements can slow down aging. While the news about red wine might sound great if you enjoy a glass of red wine with your evening meal, doctors are wary of encouraging anyone to drink alcohol because too much alcohol can have a host of harmful effects on your body. What makes antioxidants so interesting is their ability to prevent damage to body cells and prevent aging in many organ systems throughout the body, and particularly the brain and heart…”
Will a pill someday be able to prevent some of the most debilitating effects of aging, including cancer and diabetes. It is promising to think that accelerated aging, diabetes and cancer could one day be treated with this natural compound. As a drug, resveratrol may one day be used to treat fresh heart attacks and strokes, diabetes, as well as brain trauma. Resveratrol has been tested since 1994 against cancer, diabetes, heart disease and aging with extraordinary results. Resveratrol could virtually wipe out all existing medications for diabetes, cholesterol, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or as Fortune Magazine says in their upcoming report on this miracle molecule : Hell, pretty much all age-related disease. In diabetes patients it has been discovered that resveratrol prevents cancerous pancreatic cells from reaching the bodies energy cells or mitochondria, and destroying them.
“…Defective cell cycle regulation may result in the propagation of mutations that contribute to the development of cancer. Resveratrol has been found to inhibit the proliferation of a variety of human cancer cell lines, including those from breast, prostate, stomach, colon, pancreatic, and thyroid cancers. The strongest evidence of anti-cancer action of resveratrol exists for the tumors it can come into direct contact with, such as skin and gastrointestinal tract tumors. It can prevent, slow or reverse coronary heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure and aging…” R. Nyleve added.

One of the leading causes of blindness in the world is a disease called Diabetic Retinopathy Surgery . This disease is a complication of diabetes mellitus which directly affects the blood vessels of the retina. Retina is a very sensitive tissue in the eye that is responsible for vision of the person. Now, once the retina is damaged, the person may suffer from blurry vision to permanent blindness. This damage in the retina is because of some diseases such as macular degeneration and retinal detachments but diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of the damage. This disease is considered incurable but there are several diabetic retinopathy surgery performed by doctors that could prevent permanent blindness as well as improve the vision of the patient. Normally, diabetic retinopathy shows no signs or early symptoms until the complications developed. When this happens, the patient’s visions become blurry, his eyes become painful and worse; he has complete loss of his eyesight. This is the reason why patients with diabetes have to have a regular check up with their doctors in order to prevent this. The kind of Diabetic Retinopathy Surgery for a patient depends on the stage of its diabetic retinopathy. There are 4 stages of this disease and those are Mild Nonproliferative Retinopathy, Moderate Nonproliferative Retinopathy, Severe Nonproliferative Retinopathy and Proliferative Retinopathy. Usually, the first three stages of this disease require no treatment but the doctor requires the patient to take medications in order to lower the blood sugar and control their blood pressure and cholesterol. The Proliferative Retinopathy is the one that needs surgery. This stage is already the advanced stage of Diabetic Retinopathy wherein the new blood vessels grow around the retina of the eye which has thin walls. The problem however, arises when the blood vessels leak. In such case, the vision is disrupted and causes loss of vision. Diabetic Retinopathy Surgery is an option in diabetic retinopathy surgery. In this case, the laser surgery makes the blood vessels thinner in order to prevent the leak of blood that could cause loss of visions. This is actually recommended for those blood vessels which are not bleeding yet. On the other hand, although laser treatment is still possible for bleeding blood vessels, vitrectomy is the most suitable treatment to restore the eyesight. The vitroues gel needs to be removed by making tiny incisions in the eye. It has to be noted that after the diabetic retinopathy surgery, the patient has to wear an eye patch to protect the eyes although he can already be discharged from the hospital. Continuous medication and the use of eye drops are necessary to prevent complications. Our eyes are one of the most important parts of the body. Without our eyesight, we can’t do a lot of things and it will just make our lives very inconvenient. Whether you have diabetes or not, it is still necessary to have a regular check up with the doctor to avoid other complications.

What it is:
This condition, which also goes by the acronyms HHNS or HONK, is an emergency condition most frequently seen in older people whose blood glucose level is very high. Typically, an underlying illness such as pneumonia, a urinary tract or other infection, or failure to follow a diabetes treatment plan triggers the disorder. HHNS causes severe dehydration, and, left untreated, it can lead to seizures, coma, and even death. The disorder may take days or weeks to develop.
Symptoms:
Blood sugar level over 600 mg/dL Increased urination at first, followed by less frequent but very dark urine Dry, parched mouth Extreme thirst (which may gradually disappear) Warm, dry skin with no sweat Rapid pulse High fever (over 101 degrees Fahrenheit) Sleepiness or confusion Loss of vision Hallucinations Weakness on one side of the body
How to treat it:
This is an emergency condition that requires immediate attention. Call 911 or take the patient to the nearest hospital.
How to prevent it:
A patient should check his blood sugar regularly, such as before or after meals, upon waking, and before bedtime. Talk with his main diabetes care provider about when and how often to test. Find out from his care provider about his target blood sugar range and when he should call if his blood sugar readings are too high. If a patient is sick or has an infection, he should check his blood sugar more often.
What it is:
This disorder, also known as diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, occurs when someone has harmfully high levels of ketones, or acids, building up in his blood. Ketones are a chemical produced when there’s a shortage of insulin in the blood and the body is forced to break down fat for energy. Ketones can spill over into the urine when a person’s body doesn’t have enough insulin, and essentially it act as a poison.
Symptoms:
Difficulty breathing, rapid breath, or shortness of breath Breath that smells fruity A very dry mouth Nausea and vomiting Difficulty concentrating Extreme tiredness, drowsiness, or weakness Rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure Blood sugar level higher than 300 mg/dL
How to treat it:
This is an emergency condition that requires immediate attention. Call 911 or take the person to the nearest hospital.
How to prevent it:
Make sure the patient drinks plenty of water so he stays hydrated and can flush ketones out of his system. He can do a simple urine test available over the counter to check for ketones. He should refrain from exercising if his blood glucose is 250 mg/dL or higher and ketones are present in his urine. He should check his blood glucose often and immediately report any sky-high readings to his main diabetes care provider.

Diabetic Emergency
Diabetic Ketoacidosis -
Nov 3
Now, I am not a doctor and I don’t play one on T.V. but after living with diabetes for seven years I’ve learned some things that I haven’t seen while researching diabetes. Most of the things you learn are the basics, e.g., that diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. In order to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy you need insulin. The cause of diabetes is genetic with environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise likely to hasten the onset. My hope is if you are having difficulty with some aspect of diabetes this article may provide some insight to you. As always, check with your doctor prior to incorporating any changes to your daily regimen as each person is unique and may or may not have success with my experiences.
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Before I was diagnosed with diabetes I went to several doctors with a complaint about my hands feeling severe pain. I especially felt it during a swing of a golf club. I was told I had CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) but I wondered how I could get something like that since I didn’t spend that much time on my computer keyboard. I was also skeptical of the diagnosis because the nurse practitioner treating me left the room before reaching a verdict then returns and tells me I have CTS. I guess she discussed my symptoms with the presiding doctor. Later that week, I read an article saying that if your doctor diagnoses you with CTS ask him to give you a simple blood test to rule out more serious diseases like cancer and diabetes. I showed the article to my doctor who agreed and lo and behold when the test came back it showed I had diabetes.
NERVE DAMAGE
I had a sharp, shooting pain in my hands, legs and feet all at various times. My doctor suggested exercise. I didn’t like jogging because I seem to aggravate my right knee when I do run. I have easy access to a pool but don’t really enjoy it enough but I liked the idea of riding a bicycle around my neighborhood. The fresh air, meeting neighbors and taking it light on my knee seemed appealing to me. The trick is to find some form of exercise you can tolerate and keep up with. If you don’t like jogging chances are you won’t maintain the exercise required. You need ninety minutes of exercise a week.
I usually like to exercise during the late afternoon but because of a hot spell I decided to exercise during the morning to escape the hot weather. To my surprise my glucose readings were somewhat high before dinner. So I went back to exercising at 4 p.m. and my glucose reading fell back considerably. I reasoned that my biggest meal of the day was dinner and exercising a few hours before dinner helped regulate my glucose. Also, I noticed my readings weren’t affected much when I exercised 15 minutes, or even twenty minutes. It seemed to me that I wasn’t benefitting from that amount of time spent exercising. But when I extended it to 25 and especially 30 minutes, I noticed the difference. My appetite wasn’t as ravenous and I felt better overall. But best of all, the nerve damage to my legs and hands were gone. No more numbness in those areas as well. The only complaint I had was the amount of time it took me to get there, 3 – 6 months. Aren’t we all impatient? I was so encouraged by the results that exercising has become a way of life for me. Now I bicycle 3 to 4 miles per day, 5 days a week. In fact, on the days that I do miss my workout I feel guilty.
INFECTIONS
I recently had a continuous spell of high glucose readings of which I had no rational explanation as to why. My exercise regimen was usual and my eating habits and weight were the same. I began taking Glyburide once a day. Even that didn’t work. Concerned, I made a doctor’s appointment and thanks to my doctor asking questions (innocuous I thought at the time) it turned out that I had an infection on my arm. As soon as I took the antibiotics, my glucose levels returned to where they previously were. I cut the pills in half (from 5 milligrams to 2.5) because when I was first prescribed the Glyburide I was not told about the side effects of the medication. I remember walking in the park and feeling terrible. I thought I was going to die. I made it home and took a glucose reading and was alarmed that it was 35. (Normal is between 70 and 125.) I called my doctor and relayed what was going on and they advised me to get some sugar in my body. I did and felt better within minutes. Today, I keep tomato juice in my refrigerator in case I need it. Don’t make the mistake I made and try to raise your blood sugar with food. Food will take 15 minutes to digest and may raise it over the level you want thereby negating your goal.
After taking the Glyburide during my fight with that infection, I had an Hba1c test and I was surprised that my lipid profile improved considerably. Also, I am glaucoma-suspect and my eye pressure level was reduced 26%! Is there a correlation between Glyburide and my improvements in these areas — I don’t know but I anxiously await my next quarterly blood lipid test.
There is a positive side to diabetes. Now I’m forced to exercise, watch what I eat and keep tabs on my weight. None of which I did before. The result from all this is a healthier lifestyle, less complications from diabetes and a longer lifespan. Diabetes can be manageable. Consider it a wakeup call to a healthier lifestyle.
I can’t stress enough that before you make any changes to your daily regimen to talk it over with your doctor. Write all of your questions down before you go in and if you’re too shy to ask, hand him your piece of paper.
