Tarai Bangun Hamlet IV, Tarab Mulya Village is a village located in Kampar Regency where the majority of the people come from the Minang and Javanese tribes. They like to eat fatty foods that trigger an increase in body fat levels. This service is carried out with the aim of helping people who experience high blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid levels with the phlebotomy technique (fasdhu). The method used is to provide health education, followed by checking blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid. High levels are then performed Fasdhu. Based on the examination of blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid checks on 37 respondents, it was found that 10 respondents had high levels. Fasdhu treatment was carried out on respondents who had blood sugar levels of 163 mg/dl, cholesterol 240.75 mg/dl and uric acid 8.95 mg/dl. After fasdhu treatment, the levels decreased to 107 mg/dl, 200 mg/dl and 7.15 mg/dl, respectively. Based on this treatment, it was concluded that the phlebotomy technique (fasdhu) could be recommended as an effort to reduce blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid levels.

Low Glycemic Index

Abstract Background and Objectives: There is a need to re assess the value of low-GI food and its specific components. The effect of one of them, namely low-glycemic-index sugar, is unclear, as its impact is usually confounded when reported in the literature. This study attempts to breach this gap, shedding light on its effect in type 2 diabetic patients and evaluate if it could be considered as part of a dietary plan.Subjects and Methods: The blood sugar level of twenty (20) type 2 diabetics was monitored using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring system during two phases; firstly, an initial period of 5 days, whereby all the included patients were taking their usual dietary meals. Subjects were then randomized into two groups of equal size before embarking on a second phase; 10 subjects were instructed to eat prepared, portioned and delivered meals, the difference for the second group being that low-GI sugar was used for the preparation. Results: Compared to baseline (day 1), blood sugar dropped by 18% for the group with low-GI sugar and 13% for those who consumed sugar with a normal-GI. The variation in sugar levels was also more contained in the interventional group. A by-product of the study design shows that constant glucose monitoring could raise awareness, and may foster reduction in blood sugar levels. Portioned food was capable of reducing blood sugar levels, with elevated levels of compliance just after start. Conclusions: Even though the ultimate aim is to reduce sugar consumption by diabetic patients, the intake of a low-GI sugar seems to be less harmful than normal sugar. Compared to using normal sugar for the preparation of portioned foods, the use of a low-GI sugar is encouraged as part of a wider plan for the management of diabetic patients.

Among the various after affects of prolonged diabetes Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the diseases that get triggered. The number patients with disease are increasing enormously and there methodologies need to be developed for early detection of the disease. The main cause for this disease is the high blood sugar levels which affects of the blood vessels of retina and there by leading towards blindness. Therefore in this article it reports a methodology based on linear discriminant analysis to combat the disease. The accuracy is estimated using precision and recall, linear discriminant analysis.

Along with the advancement in Biomedical technology to cure many commons, but there is certain lethal disease spanned in the world which has no cure for it. One such is Diabetes, although it does not have any remedy, at least it has controlling and diagnosing methods. It is a type of disorder in body metabolism where there is a high blood sugar level for sustained period. Diabetes is a condition in which there happened to be high blood sugar levels over a longtime. Symptoms are repeated urination, thirst, and hunger. If left unchecked, it may cause many complications. Acute complications include ketoacidosis, or death. The Diabetes can be analysed by gaining a drop of blood from test subject and blending it with biosensor. This method is compact and modest, but it happens to be an intrusive and contaminant method as it deals with the usage of blood. This assumption sparked us to progress a non-invasive method of diagnosing the diabetes level for a patient using their foot sensitivity. This advancement helps one to obtain the same test result but with a non-invasive practise, which gives a painless and non-contaminant diagnosis.
