The considerable volume of literature dealing with the normal range of blood-sugar values in ruminants and with the effect of varying nutritive conditions upon it is reviewed in some detail. Attention is drawn to differences between ruminant and non-ruminant mammals, and an attempt is made to explain them in the light of present knowledge of digestive processes in the ruminant. Data are presented on the normal range of blood-sugar values in sheep, both in Australia and in England, and on the effect of nutritive factors and of pregnancy on these values. The mean blood-sugar values determined by the author in non-pregnant ewes in Australia and in England were 34.8 ± 3.06 and 39.1 ± 3.37 mg. per cent. respectively. The observed range in both pregnant and non-pregnant ewes was 18-57 mg. per cent., but 94 per cent. of values fell between 25 and 46 mg. per cent. This range was obtained in sheep bled usually in the morning, before feeding. A delayed rise, which is slight and always below hyperglycaemic levels, was observed after feeding; the afternoon samples showed higher values than the morning samples. Thus, the normal range of blood-sugar values in fed sheep, at any time of day, is considered to be 25-50 mg. per cent. The level of blood sugar was affected neither by the plane of nutrition nor by the bodily condition of non-pregnant ewes. Gestation in ewes in good condition was observed not to affect the level, although evidence was obtained of lowered blood-sugar levels during the last two months of gestation in ewes in poor condition. Expressed as a percentage of the pre-fasting level, the decrease in blood sugar observed during a four-day fast was similar to that observed in non-ruminants, but the response was delayed. Fasting for a period of 24 hours had little effect on the blood-sugar level in non-pregnant sheep in good condition; in many cases there was little change after the period had been extended to 46 hours. On the other hand, a fast of 24 hours' duration produced a marked hypoglycaemia in ewes in poor bodily condition during the last two months of gestation, blood-sugar levels as low as 8.6 mg. per cent. being recorded.

Background: The incidence of diabetes mellitus has significantly increased in the last two decades. Gestational diabetes mellitus, GDM, is a complication that affects both pregnant women and newborn babies. Pregnant women that are diagnosed with GDM are 7 times more likely to be diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus. In addition, infants born by GDM mothers are at higher risk of developing diabetes mellitus in the future. Objective: The study aims to review the literature on the diet control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Results: Controlling blood sugar within the normal range during pregnancy can decrease negative pregnancy outcomes. However, most pregnant women with GDM cannot control their blood sugar within the normal range because of a lack of knowledge and skill in selecting appropriate foods. They also often experience inconsistency in their diet control behavior Most pregnant women worry about gaining too much weight, and most pregnant women with GDM have to learn how to choose their food properly in terms of both nutrients and quantity in order to control their blood sugar levels within the normal range. Conclusion: Diet control during pregnancy is one way to prevent the negative consequences of GDM for both mothers and infants. The food proportion for pregnant women with gestational diabetes is CHO: PRO: FAT = 50: 20:30 and also to consume an appropriate amount of vitamins and minerals and water each day.

This case study is of a Diabetic person who works as an IT software engineer in Bangalore. Yoga Therapy Workshop was organized for 3 weeks (15 working days) in IT Company. The person showed interest in implementing the yoga therapy protocol for a longer duration to control her Diabetes. Her sense of well-being improved within one week of following the protocol which included Asanas, Meditation, Pranayam and Home Remedies such as Amla juice with Turmeric. She practiced yoga regularly and consumed 2 tablespoons of Amla Juice with 1 gram of Turmeric on an empty stomach for 90 consecutive days. She was not on any medication since she was diagnosed as a diabetic. Yoga has shown significant improvement in reversing the patient’s diabetes condition and returning her blood sugar levels to normal range.

SummaryWe have demonstrated previously that fibrin enhanced plasmin formation by the vascular plasminogen activator was significantly impaired, when components isolated from the plasma of three uncontrolled diabetic patients (type I) were used to study plasminogen activation in vitro. In the present study it can be demonstrated that functional properties of the vascular plasminogen activators as well as of the plasminogens from the same three diabetic patients are significantly improved after normalization of blood sugar levels and improvement of HbAlc values. Most pronounced the Km of diabetic vascular plasminogen activator in the presence of fibrin returned to normal values, and for diabetic plasminogen the prolonged lag period until maximal plasmin formation occurred was shortened to almost control values. From these data we conclude that the observed abnormalities of in vitro fibrinolysis are not primarily associated with the diabetic disease, but might be secondary to metabolic disorders caused by diabetes.

Preventive Effects

Cadmium (Cd) is widespread in the environment. Cd toxicity targets liver and renal tissues and generates oxidative stress. Medicinal plants produce antioxidants scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chelate heavy metals. This study aimed to investigate the preventive effects of Myrtus communis leaves hydro-methanol extract (HME) and aqueous extract (AE) on Cdinduced toxicity. The experiments were carried out, during 30 days, on male rats; GR1 (controls), GR2 treated with CdCl2 (18 mg/kg), GR3 co-treated with HME (1 g/kg) and Cd (18 mg/kg), GR4 co-treated with AE (1 g/kg) and Cd (18 mg/kg), GR5 with HME and GR6 with AE. Cd induced changes in biochemical parameters (transaminases, urea, creatinine and blood sugar)related to hepato renal function, increased tissue mortification and decreased animals’ body weight. While the treatment animals, with M. communis leaves (HME) or (AE), regulated blood sugar levels. Hepatic steatosis and loss of glomeruli were particularly induced either by Cd or a co-treatment with Cd and plant extracts. M. communis extracts (HME and EA) can regulate blood sugar levels and prevent cadmium accumulation.
