• Pancreas produce an insufficient amount of insulin
• Pancreas do not produce any insulin
• When the body acts abnormally to insulin (insulin resistance)

Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition which cannot be cured completely. However, with advances in medical science there are effective and convenient ways to control this condition and enable patients to live a better life.

Types of Diabetes and Their Treatments

Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a chronic medical condition that affects the body’s ability to utilize the energy from food.

Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is also known as insulin-dependent diabetes. It is most often seen developing in childhood. This is an auto-immune condition that results in the body assailing the pancreas with antibodies, rendering it unable to produce insulin.

Type 1 diabetes is known to be caused in a person who is genetically predisposed (hereditary risk) to faulty insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. If left undiagnosed and uncontrolled for too long, it may result in various other medical disorders, including:

• Vision problems (diabetic retinopathy)
• Kidney problems (diabetic nephropathy)
• Nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy)
• Deterioration of tiny blood vessels in the heart and brain, resulting in stroke and heart problems.

Treatment: Although there is no complete cure for this condition as it is an auto-immune problem, it can be successfully controlled by regular artificial insulin intake to maintain lowered or absent natural insulin levels in the body.

Today, with innovative medical science, type 1 diabetes patients can easily inject insulin, using:

• Syringes: Thin and light-weight disposable syringes.
• Insulin Pens: Specially designed subcutaneous injections with fine needle sets and pre-filled cartridges.
• Jet Injectors: Needle-free insulin administrating devices using high-pressured powerful spurts of air.
• Insulin Pumps: Portable automatic devices that can be programmed to deliver pre-set amounts of insulin directly into the stomach at specified times.

Type 2 Diabetes

This is the more common type of diabetes and accounts for almost 95% of adult diabetes cases. Although it used to be most prominent among adults, it is being increasingly seen lately among obese teenagers and overweight children. Type 2 diabetes is a non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

This is mostly a milder form of type 1 diabetes but can still result in serious health and medical complications. This type of diabetes starts to affect the tiny blood vessels, usually inside the eyes, kidneys, and nerves. These small blood vessels serve to nourish these organs with sufficient and regular blood supply for healthy functioning. Type 2 diabetes is also known to increase the risk of stroke and heart disease.

In this type of diabetes, the pancreas are seen producing insulin; however, either the amount produced is not sufficient for the body’s requirements or the cells of the body become immune to its effects. This resistance to insulin starts mainly in the muscle, fat, and liver cells.

Treatment

Type 2 diabetes cannot be cured, and artificial insulin administration is also pointless if the body itself is resistant to insulin effects. Hence doctors will advise:

• Weight Management: As this type of diabetes is almost always seen connected to obesity, controlling weight can help reduce the progression of the disease as well as other medical disorders known to be caused by overweight.
• Nutrition: Type 2 diabetic patients need to carefully regulate their diet and food intake. Preparing a schedule as advised by a nutrition specialist or the advice of the doctor can help control the condition in a better way.
• Exercise: Regular exercise is always advised by doctors, physicians, and other health professionals for an overall healthy body. Exercising for type 2 diabetic patients becomes more important as it helps to lose excess weight faster and also regulate the functions of other organs better.

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes, as the name suggests, develops during pregnancy. There are several changes taking place in the woman’s body when she gets pregnant. One of the effects, at times, is the development of resistance of the body to insulin.

Gestational diabetes is mostly noticed in the 2nd or 3rd trimester (between 4-9 months) of the pregnancy. As the mother’s blood sugar levels are also connected to the normal and healthy development of the baby, it is important to diagnose and control gestational diabetes better to ensure the healthy development of the baby inside the womb.

Treatment

The treatments for gestational diabetes may include:

• Nutritious Diet: To prevent fat and excess calories during the pregnancy, in the body.
• Daily Exercise: The doctor will advise on suitable physical exercises that ensure healthy functioning of the body.
• Weight Management: Pregnancy tends to bring additional body weight with it, however, there is an important need to control this and prevent the development of excess body weight during or after the pregnancy.
• Artificial Insulin: Some cases of gestational diabetes that are more severe comparatively will be advised to be controlled using prescribed doses of insulin injections to control the blood sugar levels.

• Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke
• Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
• Stem Cell Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease

Benefits Treated with Stem Cell Therapy Include:

• Stem cells have the potential to self-renew, replacing diseased or damaged tissues
• Minimal risk of rejection, as the stem cells are taken from the patient’s own body
• Minimal side effects when compared to other forms of treatment
• Formerly untreatable diseases can be treated through stem cell transplantation procedures

Other Treatable Conditions

Many other conditions are treatable with the patient’s own stem cells. Your procedure, including travel to and from the destination hospital, is managed by registered nurses from beginning to conclusion, guaranteeing you the optimum experience. We have subjected our stem cell doctors to an extensive review process in order to boost your potential for success.

Most Importantly, We provide you with a Personal Touch from Start to Finish.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a person’s own cells are removed, cleaned, separated, and introduced into damaged tissue in order to treat disease or injury. Stem cells are removed from the patient’s hip or iliac bone and then sent to the lab for cleaning and separation.

Will I Have To Be Treated More Than Once?

Currently, Adult Stem Cell research has demonstrated the continual healing and regenerating power of individual’s stem cells. Patients around the world have received more than one treatment as well as treatments to more than one body area. The need for additional treatments is very individualized, and stem cell research is constantly being refined.

What Effects Can I Expect After Treatment?

Although success cannot be guaranteed, many patients have found relief from symptoms after stem cell treatment for heart and lung conditions as well as types of Diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Stem Cell Therapy and Religion

Currently, there are no religious or ethical issues with adult stem cell therapy. These stem cells are derived from adults and not embryos, and, therefore, pose no moral issues. In the future, other sources of stem cells may include umbilical cord cells as well as placental cells, which also do not create any religious concerns.

ALAAFIYAH CARE does not participate in embryonic stem cell therapy nor research due to the potential for abuse. As an organization, we choose to stay away from controversial matters so that we can focus on improving our patient’s health and wellness.

ALAAFIYAH CARE also provides information on stem cell research, treatment success, and transplant procedures. Such information can help to inform you of the basics of stem cell therapy.
