Current and future perspective in the management of diabetes

J Indian Med Assoc. 2002 Mar;100(3):181-3.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus has attained epidemic proportions worldwide. It is suggested that resistin (also called Fizz 3), a cysteine. rich-protein may represent a link between obesity and insulin resistance. Uncoupling proteins are candidate genes for human obesity or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Amylin has a vital role in regulating blood glucose concentration following meals. Gluco watch biographers are safe and effective device to measure glucose every 20 minutes. Islet transplantation has had a remarkable preliminary success. Protein kinase Cbeta inhibitor was shown to reduce albuminuria and decrease statement of TGFbeta and various extracellular matrix proteins in diabetic rats.
