Diabetic Herb Medicine

Diabetes affects the way the body handles fats, leading to fat accumulation in the arteries, potential damage to the kidneys, eyes, heart, and brain. It is the leading cause of kidney disease. Diabetes can also affect the nerves, causing numbness or pain in the face and extremities. Many patients require dialysis or kidney transplants. Detail study of several possible schemes to cure diabetes by replacing the pancreas or just the beta cells or a kidney-pancreas transplant and become insulin-independent may now be considered "cured" from their diabetes. A simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant is a promising solution. It has provoked an immune reaction and long-term immunosuppressive drugs will be needed to protect the transplanted tissue. An alternative technique has been proposed to place transplanted beta cells in a semi-permeable container, isolating and protecting them from the immune system.
