Finger-stick blood test may not help type 2 diabetes treatment: Study

New research has revealed that checking blood sugar with a finger-stick may not help type 2 diabetes patients who do not use insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is an epidemic afflicting one in 11 people in the US and for those treated with insulin, checking blood sugar with a finger-stick at home is an accepted practice for monitoring the effects of insulin therapy.

However, researchers from UNC School of Medicine found that the majority of type 2 diabetes patients are not treated with insulin.

“Our study results have the potential to transform current clinical practice for patients and their providers by placing a spotlight on the perennial question, ‘to test or not to test’,” said Katrina Donahue, Professor at UNC School of Medicine.

Most of the 25 million people with type 2 diabetes in the US today do not take insulin but control their blood sugar with exercise, diet, and sometimes medications such as metformin.

Currently, 75 per cent of these patients also perform regular blood glucose testing at home, generally at the recommendation of a provider, despite an on-going debate about its effectiveness in controlling diabetes or improving how patients feel.

“Of course, patients and providers have to consider each unique situation as they determine whether home blood glucose monitoring is appropriate,” Donahue said.

“But the study’s null results suggest that self-monitoring of blood glucose in non-insulin treated type 2 diabetes has limited utility. For majority, the costs may outweigh the benefits,” she added.

The study that involved 450 patients suggested that patients living with diabetes should discuss the need for blood sugar monitoring with their health care providers.

“If together a patient and their provider decide that blood sugar monitoring is not necessary, patients could be spared hundreds of finger sticks and save hundreds of dollars every year, at least until insulin treatment is required,” the study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine noted.

Though proponents of blood glucose testing argue that daily testing promotes better awareness of glucose levels leading to improvements in diet and lifestyle, the research asserts that daily testing imposes not only a financial cost but can also take a mental toll, increasing the rate of depression or anxiety in some patients.

Simple Things Can Do for Better Health

Vitamin D is incredibly important for your health, and many people are deficient. Without proper vitamin D levels, it can be difficult to lose weight, your immune system may suffer, and even your reproductive system may experience issues. Your doctor can test your vitamin D levels in their office if you have any of the symptoms. These may include things like unexplained tiredness or weakness, a depressed mood, or high blood pressure. Your doctor might recommend a high dose daily vitamin to get your levels up if you’re deficient, but sometimes just a little sunshine each day can do the trick.
Drink up!

You’ve probably heard that you should drink eight glasses of water each and every day, but do you know why? Water is the single most important thing you put in your body. It keeps your digestive system working properly, stabilizes your mood, prevents headaches due to dehydration, and boosts your immune system. To keep yourself on track each day, try setting a reminder on your phone to drink water every hour or so. Some smartphones even have special apps you can download for free.
Smile at strangers
Research shows that smiling actually makes people happier. If you take time to smile at a stranger, experts say you may improve their mood as well as your own. Some people even say that laughing when you’re sad can trigger a better mood. Next time you’re down, try smiling or laughing for a while. You may feel silly at first, but the benefits are well worth it.
Rest
It’s so important for everyone to get enough rest each night, but women’s bodies undergo even more stress than men’s. Getting at least seven to nine hours of sleep each night is crucial for your well-being. Without proper rest, your brain may be foggy and your immune system may be compromised. Chronic sleep deprivation may even lead to mental disorders or serious illness. Next time you’re tempted to stay up for the late night talk shows, turn the TV off and opt for more rest instead.
Relax
You may think that stress is just an everyday part of life, but it’s actually very bad for your health. Chronic stress can affect your metabolism, your mental health, and your libido. If that’s not enough to convince you, it can actually make you age more quickly, too. If you suffer from chronic anxiety, talk to your doctor about prescription medication. Otherwise, when something stressful occurs, take a moment to collect your thoughts. You can try meditating or focusing on your breaths. Close your eyes, and breathe in for five seconds then out for five seconds until your breath slows and your pulse returns to a normal rate.
Spend time with friends
Loneliness can cause a host of problems, including depression and other mental issues. No matter how much time you’re spending with coworkers and family, make sure you spend some time with your friends, too. A girls’ night out can do wonders for your mood and emotional well-being.

Tips for a Lifetime of Healthy Eyes

Get Eye Exams
This one seems obvious, but many people neglect this part of their health regimen. Unlike a dreaded dentist appointment, eye exams are a piece of cake with virtually zero pain. Even if you don’t have to wear contacts or glasses, it is still important to get an annual eye exam. One vital test is the dilated eye exam, which can detect problems very early so they can be treated quicker. This exam is so easy — eye-drops widen your pupil to allow your eye doctor to see into your eye.
Wear Sunglasses and Protective Glasses One very easy way to prevent diseases of the eye is to wear sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses can decrease the risk of developing a common condition that causes severe blurring, called cataracts. There are other conditions that cause damage to the eye as well, such as macular degeneration and tissue growth over the white of the eye.

And if you play contact sports or other activities, wearing protective glasses can make a world of difference. Imagine getting hit in the eye with a hockey stick during a game because you didn’t have protective glasses. This could cause blindness from just this one swift movement. With protective eye gear, the risk of blindness is greatly decreased. Protect your eyes!
Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
One last important way to protect your vision is by eating healthy foods and exercising. Antioxidants and vitamins in nutrient-rich foods can bolster the fight against vision diseases and conditions.
But what do exercise and healthy weight have to do with vision? Well, a major risk factor for diabetes is being overweight or obese; and having diabetes increases your chances of having eye problems. Eating a whole, balanced and varied diet along with regular exercise will help maintain your goal weight and control blood sugar levels. Some absolutely delicious and vision-protecting foods are:
Oranges:
Citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, an antioxidant.
Salmon and Tuna:
Oily fish and eggs are high in omega-3s.
Green Leafy Vegetables:
These are high in disease-fighting antioxidants and beta-carotene.
Nuts and Seeds:
These have vitamin E, another essential antioxidant.
