Sessions/Tracks

 

 

Track 1:  Diabetes: Types and Complications

 

Diabetes is a sickness that occurs when blood glucose (blood sugar) is too high. Blood glucose is the main source of energy and comes from the food which consumed. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas which helps the glucose from the food that get into the cells to be used for energy. Sometimes the body doesn’t make enough insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Over time, containing too much glucose in blood can cause health issues.  The common types of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. In type 1 diabetes the body doesn’t make insulin due to this immune system attacks and destroys the cells in pancreas which makes insulin in human body. This type diabetes can be diagnosed in children and young adults. Gestational diabetes develops in some women when they were pregnant.

Track 2: Endocrinology and Metabolic Syndrome

 

Endocrinology mainly deals with the endocrine system which is a collection of glands that produce hormones that regulates metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, and reproduction. Endocrine disorders are typically divided into two categories, when a gland produces too much or too little of an endocrine hormone is called hormone imbalance. Another category is due to the development of lesions (tumor) in the endocrine system. Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that occur together which increase the risk of heart disease, heart stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Conditions like these include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol. It is also connected to a condition called insulin resistance. Risk factors such as age, ethnicity, obesity, diabetes increase the chance of having metabolic syndrome.

Track 3: Diabetic Retinopathy

 

Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication that affects eyes which is caused by damage of blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the rear part of the retina. This condition leads to early blindness if left untreated. The regular side effects such as blurred vision, impairment of colour vision, poor night vision, floaters. This condition can be developed in anyone who has type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Too much sugar in blood leads to the blockage of the tiny blood vessels that maintain retina. Diabetic retinopathy can be prevented by managing diabetes by eating healthy and physical activities, doing at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity like walking each week and monitoring the blood sugar level, more-frequent measurements may be required if your stressed.

Track 4: Diabetic Neuropathy

 

Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage which caused by high blood sugar levels sustained over a long period of time. Peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, proximal neuropathy, focal neuropathy are the several types of nerve injuries.  The condition usually develops gradually and it can be identified by the symptoms like numbness, loss of sense of touch, burning sensation in feet, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, muscle weakness, loss of balance, trouble of swallowing and indigestion. Diabetic neuropathy can be diagnosed by physical examination by the neuropathies.

Track 5: Diabetic Diet and Nutrition

 

Diet and exercise are both key factors of a successful strategy to manage diabetes. These two factors can sharply reduce the likelihood of diabetes. Diabetic diet is a healthy-eating pattern which consisting rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Essential elements like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains could be included in diet plan.  The amount of sugar intake will affect the sugar level of the patients, so consuming less amount of sugar and eating healthy can prevent diabetes. Nutrition plays a vital role in diabetes, eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes can affect the risk of getting diabetes.  Weight loss planning, counting carbohydrates, meal plate management such things can be useful to live healthy lifestyle.

Track 6:  Diabetes and Heart Disease

 

High blood glucose from diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves which control heart and blood vessels. The factors affecting the chances of developing heart disease or heart stroke are

  • Smoking
  • High blood pressure
  • Abnormal cholesterol levels
  • Obesity and belly fat
  • Family history of heart disease

The connection between diabetes and heart disease starts with high blood sugar levels, the high glucose in the blood can damage the arteries, which causes them to become stiff and hard. Atherosclerosis is a condition which occurs when blood vessels are filled with fatty material. This might eventually block the blood flow to heart or brain, which causes the heart attack or heart stroke.

Track 7: Diabetes and High Blood Pressure

 

Diabetes damages arteries and make them targets for hardening is called atherosclerosis, which can further cause high blood pressure. The risk of having diabetes may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other health problems Diabetes people shouldn’t have blood pressure more than 130/80. If patients have both diabetes and high blood pressure this might results risk of having cardiovascular diseases. If diabetes is not controlled situation it can cause serious threat to kidneys, eyes, nervous systems, heart and blood vessels. People with high blood pressure and diabetes are sometimes given blood pressure machines like ACE inhibitors, because they are thought to protect the kidneys.

Track 8: Genetic Diabetes

 

Diabetes is an complicate set of diseases with no single reason. Here dietary supplements make a few people increasingly defenseless against diabetes, especially with the right environment. Diabetes, frequently implicit as diabetes mellitus, interpret a social affair of metabolic diseases is either in light of the fact that insulin creation is incomplete, or in light of the way that the body don't respond appropriately to insulin, or both the sorts. In type 1 diabetic patients, they pickup hazard factors from the both parents. Current exploration has demonstrated that offspring create 3%of the time if the mother has the condition and 5% if the father has the condition. Ecological changes also causes type 1 diabetes. A few infections likewise cause type-1 diabetes like measles infection, rotavirus.Type-2 is the more generic type of disorder which incorporates 90% of the world cases. 70% patients with type-2 diabetes are acquired from the parents while the rest of the patients were obese.

Track 9: Diabetes in Healthcare

 

Ethnic, social, religious, sex, and financial contrasts influence medicinal services access and intricacy chance in personals with diabetes. Current investigations have prescribed bringing down the body mass index (BMI) cut point for testing for Asian Americans to ≥23 kg/m2. Female with diabetes, contrasted and male with diabetes, have a 40% more serious danger of occurrence coronary illness. Financial and traditional imbalances prevail in the arrangement of human services to people with diabetes. Accordingly, children with type-1 diabetes from racial/ethnic populaces with lower financial status are in danger for poor metabolic control and poor enthusiastic working.

Track 10: Insulin Signalling, Action and Secretion

 

Insulin signalling occurs when carbohydrates are consumed, digested, and absorbed, the pancreas senses the constant rise in blood glucose concentration and releases insulin to promote an increase of glucose level from the blood stream which is characterized by hyperglycemia. Lack of severe reduction in insulin secretion due to auto immune destruction of beta cells is the cause for type 1 diabetes. The advancement of type 2 diabetes is complex, which involves dynamic increase of insulin resistance and relative deficiency in insulin secretion, leading to overt hyperglycemia.
