Alarming figures from the first-ever review of patient deaths from diabetes, showed that up to 24,000 deaths from the disease could be avoided in England each year. Diabetes UK (the UK's biggest diabetes charity) said that there are nearly 2.3 million sufferers in the UK in desperate need of top quality care in order to curb this unacceptable death toll. The National Diabetes Information Service said the number of people with the condition was rising, meaning that if nothing is done, the number of deaths would also increase.

This week, Britain's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) dealt GSK a blow by saying that the risks associated with Avandia outweigh its benefits and that it no longer has a place in the UK market where 220,000 patients receive the drug. Bravo to the MHRA, for acting much quicker than the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who voted to keep Avandia on the American market earlier this year.

In 2007 the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) made headlines with a study that illustrates just how expansive this danger really is and how an increased risk of suffering a heart attack is only one part of Avandia’s risk profile.

Astonishingly, the drug stayed on the market despite the findings of a report in 2007 - published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) - that demonstrated it was killing around 19 per cent of patients, and was causing non-fatal heart problems in a further 8 per cent.

To optimise blood sugar control, the diet diabetics eats is very important but the same can be said about when food is eaten too. A ‘little and often’ approach therefore seems to be a good solution. Meaning breakfast, lunch and dinner should be taken with one or two healthy snacks, like nuts, between meals.

With the latest study, UK researchers from Newcastle University tested what is known as the ‘second meal effect’. The ‘second meal effect’ is the effect a meal has on the blood sugar control after it has been eaten.

Diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism: the body is not able to use sugars effectively, and glucose builds up in the blood. These high levels of blood glucose cause many of the complications we associate with diabetes. The primary underlying factors here will be some resistance to the hormone insulin (insulin not working as it should) and/or inadequate insulin secretion as a result of an ‘exhausted’ pancreas.

According to the latest research findings, Pycnogenol may reduce blood pressure and the use of blood pressure medication among diabetics. Blood pressure control was achieved in 58 per cent of study participants, and a halving of the use of medication among 48 participants randomly assigned to daily supplements of the pine bark extract, Pycnogenol, or placebo for 12 weeks.
