 PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED TO T2DM

Controlling T2DM: It is true that T2DM cannot be cured, but it can be managed effectively with lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, regular exercise, and a healthy diet, along with medications that help control blood glucose levels. Medications for T2DM: There are several classes of medications used to treat T2DM, including Metformin, Sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors (sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, and alogliptin), and SGLT2 inhibitors (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin). These medications work through various mechanisms to lower blood sugar levels. Side Effects of T2DM Medications: The some of the common side effects associated with T2DM medications includes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), gastrointestinal issues, weight gain, and in some cases, genital and urinary tract infections and pancreatitis. It is essential for patients to be aware of the potential side effects and consult their healthcare providers if they experience any adverse reactions. Diabetes and Cancer: There is a study published in the journal „Diabetes Investigation‟, suggesting that the prevalence of cancer in patients with diabetes is higher than in the general population. Diabetes can impact cancer patients' lives, potentially increasing the risk of complications during cancer treatment and affecting survival rates.


Mechanisms Linking Diabetes and Cancer: There are some mechanisms to explain the link between diabetes and cancer. These include the potential promotion of cancer cell growth due to increased blood sugar levels providing an abundant source of energy, as well as the influence of insulin resistance and increased insulin growth factor levels stimulating cancer cell growth. It's important to remember that every individual's medical condition is unique, and the management of diabetes, cancer, or any other health condition should be tailored to each patient's specific needs. Regular check-ups, open communication with healthcare providers, and adherence to treatment plans are crucial for managing these conditions effectively.
