Diabetic kidney disease, or diabetic nephropathy, is kidney disease caused by diabetes. It’s a very common diabetic complication, affecting about one third of people with diabetes type 1, and half of those with diabetes type 2. Diabetic kidney disease is responsible for most of the excess mortality associated with diabetes.
Because the kidneys remove metabolic wastes, control blood pH, regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as produce several hormones; loss of kidney function results in accumulation of toxic wastes, electrolyte imbalances, and a number of other health problems.
The disease develops slowly over time, progressing from renal insufficiency to end-stage renal failure. Often, initial loss of renal tissue does not produce any symptoms. Symptoms typically appear when a significant portion of kidney function is already lost. The ability to concentrate urine is usually the first to be impaired, resulting in frequent trips to the bathroom, especially at night. Other early signs include fatigue, loss of appetite, and decreased mental ability.
Chronic high blood glucose levels, together with high blood pressure caused by diabetes, bring damage to tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, affecting their functions. Cellular degeneration in the functional units of the kidneys, the nephrons, in particular the podocytes of renal glomeruli, further contributes to the impairment of renal functions.
Diabetes, especially when poorly managed, is the biggest risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Other risk factors are the same as those for high blood pressure and include smoking, having high cholesterol levels, and being overweight.
Because initial loss of renal tissue does not produce any symptoms, it is important for diabetic patients to test annually for kidney functions. The tests typically include blood and urine analysis.
Prevention and management strategies consist of controlling blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels; all of which can be achieved with a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
Lifestyle measures typically include a healthy diet with low salt intake, increased physical activity, weight management, and smoking cessation.
Among all blood pressure lowering medications, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which block the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, work best to protect kidney functions.
End-stage kidney disease requires dialysis or kidney transplantation.

Low blood sugar levels common in type 1 and type to diabetes, Symptoms may be sweating ,trembling of hands and sometimes patient may go unconscious.

In this video I discuss what is blood sugar level, and what causes high and low blood sugar levels. We also look at insulin’s role in blood sugar levels, and some of the risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes.

Transcript (partial)

In this video we are going to discuss what blood sugar or blood glucose is, and why it is important.

Blood sugar level is the amount of glucose(sugar) present in the blood. Our body gets glucose from some of the foods we eat.

After the digestive process, the liver releases glucose into the bloodstream, sending it to cells to be used as energy. As glucose is released into the bloodstream, blood sugar levels rise. This triggers the pancreas to release the hormone insulin, which tells the cells to open up and let the glucose in, which lowers blood sugar levels.

Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. This process happens many times throughout the day after we eat.
A normal fasting (no food for 8 hours) blood sugar level is between 70 and 99mg/dl, and a normal level two hours after eating is less than 140mg/dl.

So, why is this important? Well, there are 3 main reasons we need to be aware of our blood sugar level.

The 1st reason is that high blood sugar levels can lead to type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is when the body doesn’t use insulin properly (insulin resistance), or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin. Over time, High blood sugar levels can put a lot of stress on the pancreas, possibly causing it to become permanently damaged. 95% of all diabetes cases in the US are type 2.

Researchers don’t fully understand why some people develop type 2 diabetes and others don’t. However, there are some factors that increase the risk.

-being overweight – the more fatty tissue you have, the more resistant your cells become to insulin.

-fat distribution – more fat storage in the abdomen increases the risk

-inactivity – Physical activity helps you control your weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes your cells more sensitive to insulin.

The 2nd reason we need to monitor our blood sugar levels is that High levels can also lead to atherosclerosis, which is hardening and narrowing of the arteries. This can block the arteries, putting blood flow at risk, which can lead to other problems.

The 3rd reason is low blood sugar levels, this is rare in non-diabetics. This can be caused by certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, and from meals high in refined carbs.

There is a strong connection between type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. This animation describes the lipid abnormalities commonly seen in patients with type 2 diabetes: elevated levels of triglycerides, raised small dense LDL levels, increased glycation and oxidation of LDLs and reduction of HDLs. These factors increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Robert Lustig – What is Metabolic Syndrome Anyway?

From the JumpstartMD Weight of the Nation Conference 2018

JumpstartMD is a medical practice dedicated to pre-emptive medicine through lifestyle changes and healthy, sustainable weight loss. Personalized program based on proven nutritional science, one-on-one lifestyle counseling and real, fresh food. Founded by Stanford trained physicians and board-certified Diplomates of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. PPO, HSA and FSA reimbursement support provided to patients.

With a strong commitment to reducing the quality and quantity of carbohydrates consumed, the stigmata of metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease can reverse even before weight loss although much more dramatically in combination. For example, with as little as 10 percent weight loss, which 95 percent of our clients achieve at 6 months, NAFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) is often reversed. Cost wise, patients without NAFLD show a 26 percent lowering in their health costs over 5 years.

But more importantly, with pre-emptive elimination of fatty liver disease, there’s no need to see the transplant surgeon. The prescription is simply guiding and supporting people toward healthy lifestyle changes that work to preempt diseases like fatty liver disease or the others that go along with it: diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, metabolic syndrome, various cancers, and arguably dementia. The improvements are dramatic, transformational, and utterly sensible.

JumpstartMD has convenient weight loss centers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, from Marin to Monterey and San Francisco to Pleasanton. Our offices have a range of services and hours to help support your goals and lifestyle.

Below are very safe supplements shown to improve insulin sensitivity
-Vitamin D
-Magnesium
-Chromium
-Cinnamon
-Apple cider vinegar
-Fish oil
-Tumeric
-Zinc
-Exercise/muscle contraction upregulates Glucose transporters in an insulin-independent fashion lowering blood glucose!

Personally, I believe excessive positive energy balance (obesity+sedentary), coupled with a genetic predisposition towards ectopic fat deposition and beta cell susceptibility for lipotoxicity, are major factors leading to insulin resistance.

How do we manage hypoglycaemia, especially in those with diabetes? The most important form of treatment is acute treatment or immediate management. i.e. to grab anything which contains high sugar, glucose or fruit juice or anything which can release sugar immediately. But taking chocolate which contains coco and fat does not raise the sugar immediately. So that should not be the treatment of choice. You have to take something which can immediately give you energy in the form of glucose or candies or sugar itself in the form of sugar tablet. Sugar tabs are available which are called as hypo tabs or gluco tabs should be kept with the patient always and whenever they feel symptoms of low sugar like sweating, pounding heart, giddiness and shivering of limbs, they should immediately treat themselves. The second part of management is sub acute. That is to eat something that is rich in calories and contains some amount of protein and fat and the body gets enough glucose for at least half an hour to one hour. The most common reason why there is low glucose is because the drug effect is little more and going to act for a longer period of time we need to take enough food that is going to last in our body get converted to glucose over a period of one to two hours, so that we can go and have our normal food. If the sugar levels fall down just before eating then take little glucose and have your normal food and ensure that you reduce the dose of your medicine which you are likely to take before the meal. If you are on insulin reduce the dose upto 4 units. If you are taking the tablet make it half and immediately go and consult your doctor so that they can find out any other cause apart from the food and medicine. So the change in food and medicine are the two important things that you can do to ensure that the sugar levels are normal. But we need to find what is the cause in order to treat. It could be kidney problem, liver problem or some simple infection in the body which can be associated also with fever. Next is to find out if the other organs are damaged. Especially the adrenal gland, pituitary gland and the thyroid dysfunction mainly hypothyroidism. Then if you find that the liver and kidney are not involved and the food and drugs are managed in spite of that the sugar levels are falling then always think of the adrenal insufficiency and severe hypothyroidism and get the blood test done with your doctor so that approximately the glucose levels are managed and they are brought to normal. Hypoglycaemia if it occurs again and again can cause severe symptoms which can be life threatening leading to coma and sometimes fits especially in the night time and early morning headaches will be there. Sometimes somogyi phenomena can occur in diabetes where the sugar levels go down very low in the night and actually when you check in the morning it will be high. Whenever you see high glucose in the morning always confirm with your doctor whether you have somogyi phenomena. So if you can manage the diet, drugs and find out the cause then life will be better for diabetics without hypoglycaemia.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What can we learn from the physiology of endurance athletes as we tackle the epidemic of metabolic illnesses like diabetes and many other modern diseases? In this fascinating talk, Iñigo San Millán shows why endurance cyclists, runners and other athletes should be the gold standard in how we help people with different forms of metabolic dysfunction.

With more than 14 years of experience as an exercise physiologist and sports medicine adviser for many professional teams and elite athletes worldwide, Iñigo is considered one of the top and most experienced applied physiologists in the world. He has worked with many elite and world class athletes and teams in sports including track and field, running, cycling, triathlon, rowing and basketball, including six pro tour cycling teams, a Tour de France winner and 16 Grand Tours podium finishers.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

We’re living in particularly stressful times, but keeping that stress in check is critical to overall health. A new study by researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and The Ohio State University College of Medicine finds this is especially important for those with Type 2 diabetes and documents a clear link between the stress hormone cortisol and blood sugar levels.

“In healthy people, cortisol fluctuates naturally throughout the day, spiking in the morning and falling at night,” said Dr. Joshua J. Joseph, an endocrinologist and researcher at The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center’s Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center who led the study. “But in participants with type 2 diabetes, cortisol profiles that were flatter throughout the day had higher glucose levels.”

These sustained levels of cortisol make it much more difficult to control blood sugar and manage the disease, which is why it’s so important for those with Type 2 diabetes to find ways to reduce stress. The study published online in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

“We have begun a new trial to examine if mindfulness practices can lower blood sugar in those with Type 2 diabetes,” said Joseph. “But this isn’t the only effective form of stress relief. It’s important to find something you enjoy
and make it a part of your everyday routine.”

The relationship of cortisol with glucose levels was only observed in those with diabetes. However, Joseph and his team believe the stress hormone likely plays an important role in diabetes prevention and they continue to research the connection between cortisol and the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
