margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Diabetes complications of hypoglycaemia, hypoglycaemia unawareness and neuroglycopenia are often encountered by patients treated with insulin.  It is feared by patients and families often leading to emotional and mental scars and can affect lifestyle and confidence.  Hypoglycaemia can occur in premature babies, persons with hypopituitarism and Addison’s Disease.  Low blood glucose can affect athletes and the elderly leading to falls.   Cases are individual and often difficult for families, clinicians, lawyers and courts to understand. Temporary mental impairment and PTSD injury may occur requiring counselling to overcome hypoglycaemia. 40 years T1D insulin treatment and personal hypoglycaemia experience following wrong insulin care 1987 - 94 led the author to research published reports.  The first hypoglycaemic event was described by Banting, Best and Macleod at the time of insulin discovery as a treatment for diabetes in 1921/22.  This review includes observations from ‘Forensic Aspects of Hypoglycaemia’ by Prof Vincent Marks, 629 case references, February 2019. Complications affecting stable Blood Glucose levels include Otitis Externa, Osteomyelitis, Neuropathy pain, infection treatment by IV antibiotic delivery, periodontal dental link with gum disease, inflammation, chemical change reducing insulin effectiveness, calcium stones in the saliva duct, sodium, calcium, magnesium electrolyte imbalance, Omega 3 deficiency, night saliva duct cortisol secretion, depression.Use of insulin and C Peptide assay is beneficial in forensic investigations following unexplained death or insulin use as a weapon in alleged criminal matters.  Society can learn from this research to provide improved diabetes care for patients to achieve good health and long life despite the daily burden of managing a condition with no cure.A duty of care exists to a person in a state of hypoglycaemia to summons paramedic help when the person is unable to help themselves because of temporary mental hypoglycaemia.</span></span></span></p> </p> <p><b>Biography:</b> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Derek Beatty gained his BSc in Biological Science & Business Studies, Edinburgh University, 1972, and his Diploma in Marketing, Slough College, 1977.

Understanding social stigma and self-stigma and its potential to negatively impact diabetes management will be reviewed.  Included in this examination is the common misconception  that stigma might help motivate individuals with obesity to lose weight and improve their health. However, it generally has the opposite effect. The general public should be aware that blaming and shaming people with obesity is not an effective tool for promoting weight loss, and it may contribute to poor health. Negative attitudes toward obesity by healthcare professionals can also act as a barrier to successful diabetes self-management. When people feel shamed because of their weight, they are more likely to avoid exercise and consume more calories to cope with stress. Disparagement of others due to their weight and messages that perpetuate blame and shame, if internalized, can cause harm to the physical and mental health of individuals with obesity. People who report feeling stigmatized may have more feelings of psychological distress and a greater tendency to self-isolate. Stress from feeling blamed for diabetes can ultimately worsen someone’s condition, as counter hormones (i.e. cortisol and adrenaline) when produced, may increase blood glucose if a person does not have enough insulin in their system to offset the additional hormones.  The “diabetes blame game” is not appropriate and not helpful at all. </span></span><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Strategies to eliminate stigmatism will then be discussed. Included in the assessment of stigma is the lack of knowledge about diabetes in general. Education about diabetes is important. While lifestyle factors such as physical activity and weight may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, age, race and genetics also play a large role. These additional factors involved in the onset of diabetes are not necessarily in one’s control. Also important to the understanding of type 2 diabetes is that it is a progressive disease. The development of insulin resistance and the need to inject insulin should not be seen as a failure on the part of the person with type 2 diabetes. Healthcare professionals can educate patients about the complex biological and environmental factors that contribute to obesity. Studies show that empathy from providers can break down stigma. They need to treat patients with respect, discuss weight with sensitivity and without judgment, and give support and encouragement to patients who struggle with weight management, instead of focusing on what patients did “wrong.” Getting support from other people with diabetes is another way to overcome blame and shame. Others who understand the daily experiences of life with diabetes can help make somebody else feel less alone with their condition and provide emotional support. Working with diabetes educators, people with diabetes can learn strategies for successful behavior change. People with diabetes can try to make positive changes, utilize self-compassion and feel good about themselves. Empowering patients with diabetes to manage it well is the antidote to stigma, blame and shame.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm"> </p> </p> <p><b>Biography:</b> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Diabetes Educator in Private Practice specializing in treating the emotional issues of patients with diabetes utilizing a cognitive-behavioural orientation.

Platelets undergoing continuous mild stimulation may lose their sensitivity to react to a strong stimulation. Platelet micro particles (PMPs) are submicron particles released from the membrane of activated platelets through shedding. They are involving in thrombotic problems of diabetes. The present study aimed to investigate activation responses of platelets in patients with T2DM and healthy individuals to mild and subsequent strong stimulations. Blood samples, which were taken from 40 patients with T2DM and 35 healthy individuals, were collected into the citrate containing tubes. The samples were subjected to the soft centrifugation to prepare the platelet rich plasma (PRP). Platelets in PRP samples were treated at a low (1 μM) concentration and then at a high (10 μM) concentration of ADP. Before and after stimulation with different doses of ADP, levels of CD62P expression and formation of platelet micro particles (PMPs) were measured using a flow cytometry method. The platelets from patients with T2DM had higher levels of CD62P expression before any stimulation (P = 0.003) than control samples. Platelets, which underwent the mild stimulation, indicated lower responses in CD62P expression, but higher PMPs formation after stimulation with high dose of ADP. Patients with T2DM had higher platelet micro particles in all states with ADP stimulation. (P = 0.004, SD: ±74.52)The flow cytometry data indicated that platelets in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were pre-active and associated with metabolic conditions. The induction of desensitization state helped platelets to reduce the platelet activation and sensitivity to ADP in diabetic environment. Furthermore, the production of platelets micro-particles was high in these patients; and desensitized platelets were more susceptible to shedding of micro-particles.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify"> </p> </div> <p> </p> </p> <p><b>Biography:</b> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Razie Mahmoodian is a hematologist and works as head of department of hematology in Mehragin Medical Diagnosis Laboratory.

A higher daily percentage of moderate to vigorous physical activities was significantly negatively correlated with body fat percentage, yet, only high volume of total activity and  total light activity throughout the day seemed beneficial for better insulin sensitivity (light % P= 0.0042, r= -0.377; moderate % P= 0.962, r= 0.064; vigorous % P= 0.923, r= 0.013). Total physical activity had positive correlation to monocytic expression of M2 marker regardless of physical intensity. Yet, only higher volume of light activity was found negatively correlated to the surface expression of nonclassical monocyte expression (CD14dim CD16++; P =0.01, r = -0.48). in a similar manner all intensities of physical activities were shown to associate negatively with TNF-a secretion. Yet, only IL-17A and MCP-1 were found significantly negatively associated with higher volume of lighter activity through the day.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-left:0cm; margin-right:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Maintaining general light movements throughout the day can be beneficial when compared to a short period of stringent workout.

The cause for that abnormal fat accumulation does not lies neither in the mouth or the stomach, but in a neuropeptide disorder at hypothalamic level. Recent research on leptins, adiponectins, and neuropeptides sustain his working hypothesis The method provided relief and excellent results to hundreds of thousands of overweight /obese patients worldwide.

I got my master's degree in Endocrinology and metabolism in 2019. During my master's, I researched the relationship between total plasma testosterone and metabolic syndrome (Mets) in male patients. I was interested in the metabolic syndrome because it is more prevalent than before and a lot of patients achieve the criteria of this syndrome without complaining of major symptoms. It is estimated that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (Mets) is 20-25% of adults worldwide. On the other hand, Hypogonadism is associated with Mets and it may be a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. My study aimed to estimate Hypogonadism prevalence in male patients with Mets and study the relationship between plasma total testosterone levels (TT) and the Mets components.

<small>2019-07-31</small> <p class="text-justify"> In a pilot study by a team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, crystalline particles of titanium dioxide -- the most common white pigment in everyday products ranging from paint to candies -- were found in pancreas specimens with Type 2 diabetes, suggesting that exposure to the white pigment is associated with the disease. </p>  <hr /> </div> <div class="news-block"> <h4>Possible link between rotavirus vaccine and decline in type 1 diabetes</h4> <small>2019-03-21</small> <p class="text-justify"> A drop in the number of young children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes could be associated with the introduction of routine rotavirus vaccination of Australian infants, according to a new study by Melbourne researchers. </p>  <hr /> </div> <div class="news-block"> <h4>Hormone link between diabetes and hypertension identified</h4> <small>2019-07-31</small> <p class="text-justify"> Increased levels of the hormone aldosterone, already associated with hypertension, can play a significant role in the development of diabetes, particularly among certain racial groups, researchers report. </p>  <hr /> </div> <div class="news-block"> <h4>New hope for stem cell approach to treating diabetes</h4> <small>2019-07-31</small> <p class="text-justify"> Researchers have tweaked the recipe for coaxing human stem cells into insulin-secreting beta cells and shown that the resulting cells are more responsive to fluctuating glucose levels in the blood. </p>  <hr /> </div> <div class="news-block"> <h4>Obesity linked with differences in form and structure of the brain</h4> <small>2019-08-19</small> <p class="text-justify"> Researchers using sophisticated MRI technology have found that higher levels of body fat are associated with differences in the brain's form and structure, including smaller volumes of gray matter, according to a new study. The findings add important information to our understanding of the connection between obesity and negative health consequences such as dementia. </p>  <hr /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12"> <div class="footer-box"> <h3>Newsletter</h3> <div class="newsletter-area"> <div class="input-group stylish-input-group"> <input type="text" placeholder="E-mail address" id="email" class="form-control"> <span class="input-group-addon"> <button type="submit" id="submit"> <i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i> </button> </span> </div> <span class="form-response"></span> </div> <ul class="footer-social"> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/shanthi.s.5437923"><i class="fa fa-facebook" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>  <li><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/DuttaS11"><svg id="Capa_1" enable-background="new 0 0 1226.37 1226.37" viewBox="0 0 1226.37 1226.37" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="#ffffff" d="m727.348 519.284 446.727-519.284h-105.86l-387.893 450.887-309.809-450.887h-357.328l468.492 681.821-468.492 544.549h105.866l409.625-476.152 327.181 476.152h357.328l-485.863-707.086zm-144.998 168.544-47.468-67.894-377.686-540.24h162.604l304.797 435.991 47.468 67.894 396.2 566.721h-162.604l-323.311-462.446z"/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/><g/></svg></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dutta-s-417886191/"><i class="fa fa-linkedin" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>   <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/longdom_annual_conferences/"><i class="fa fa-instagram" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>  <li><a target="_blank" href=""><span class="iconify" data-icon="fa-brands:blogger-b" aria-hidden="true" data-inline="false" style="color: #F99B61;"></span></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" href="javascript:void(0);"><i class="fa fa-whatsapp" aria-hidden="true"> </i></a></li> </ul> <style type="text/css"> .bell_icon { position: fixed;
