Diabetes mellitus is endocrine disease, caused by absolute or relative insulin deficiency, leading to a breach of all types of the metabolism, especially carbohydrate, vascular lesions (angiopathies), nervous system (neuropathy), as well as other organs and systems.

There are two types of diabetes mellitus (DM):

1) insulin-dependent (IDDM) – for the youth,
2) insulin-independent (NIDDM), which develops most often in the background of the obesity, atherosclerosis, and having a stable course, controlled by glucose-lowering drugs, diet.

Currently, diabetes affects approximately 120 million people worldwide, and according to some estimates, this figure will reach 220 million by 2010. According to the WHO, in the world from 5-10% of children under the age of 16 suffer from the diabetes of the first type. In Ukraine, the incidence of IDDM in children is 0.3-0.4 per 100,000 population.

The cause of the disease is a genetic factor (defect of loci of chromosome 6, a hereditary defect in immunity associated with a tendency toward autoimmunity). Predisposed factors in the occurrence of insulin-dependent diabetes may be viruses of rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis B, mumps, cytomegalovirus, mental and physical injuries, violation of endocrine-metabolic balance, congenital hypoplasia of the pancreas, in the creation of insulin-dependent diabetes play the role of defects of the synthesis of insulin, receptor defects in insulin and postreceptor mechanisms; obesity, physical inactivity, diseases with elevated contrinsular hormones (Itzenko-Cushing's disease, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, pregnancy, acromegaly).

For the children we distinguish the 1st stage - a genetic propensity (potential diabetes); 2nd stage - impaired glucose tolerance; third stage - symptomatic of diabetes.

In Endocrinology we have the following prediabetes states:

1) the greatest risk of the disease have cotwin of the patient with diabetes mellitus; children, both of whose parents suffer from diabetes, children born to mothers with pre-diabetes;

2) The relative risk of disease in children with obesity, renal diabetes, pancreatitis, for prolonged treatment with corticosteroids, diuretics, transient diabetes, defects in certain enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism and cystic fibrosis.
Clinically, for the potential diabetes, sugar in blood and urine is absent, glucose tolerance test is not compromised. These children's parents or relatives have diabetes.
Latent diabetes manifested by itching of the skin, decreased visual acuity, signs of hepatitis and cholecystitis. Explicit (clinical diabetes ) is characterized by dry mouth, thirst, general weakness, weight loss (weak development of the subcutaneous fat layer).
Affected skin (dermatitis, pyoderma), degenerative damage to the capillaries, arteries, venules-diabetic microangiopathy, characterized by a chilliness in the body, reduced vision, pain and paresthesis in the extremities; lesions of glomerular causes pielita, cystitis, in the study of urine - proteinuria, microhematuria, cylindruria; complications of the gastro-intestinal tract are stomatitis, gingivitis, gastritis with reduced acid-forming function, increase and compaction of the liver due to fatty liver in violation of the outflow of bile.

For the cardio-vascular system a tendency to tachycardia, arrhythmia, systolic murmur at the apex of the heart is observed.

Treatment and the statistics

In the neurological clinic of Academician Avakyan G.S. in recent years a complex method for treatment of patients with diabetes of the first type has been implemented.

This unique method of treating the insulin-dependent diabetes and its complications with complex medications and herbal teas is an author’s know-how of an academician, doctor of folk medicine, Avakyan Gagik Sarkisovich, who is more than 16 years successfully working on this problem.

During the 1999-2005 y.y. the results of treatment of 310 children and adolescents, who have a different length of the disease and the severity of complications, has been examined. The patients' age was from 3 to 16 years; of them 165 were boys, and 145 were girls. Disease duration was from 2 to 15 years.

The main complaints of patients, who contacted the neurological center, were as follows:

• general weakness (98%);
• dry mouth, thirst (62%);
• weight loss (56%);
• headaches, dizziness (44%);
• crawling feeling, numbness in hands and feets (35%);
• vegetative-trophic disorders;
• stomatitis, gingivitis-21%;
• dry skin -29% of cases.

It should be noted, that all patients were observed and accounted for in care record by an endocrinologist and a neurologist in the community. Of all the 207 patients, there has been little short ongoing effect of the previous traditional treatment.

Depending on the age of the disease, the dose of insulin, the presence of macro-and microvascular complications, individual patient's peculiarities, the combination of complex products and their doses has been changed. A full course of treatment was 2 years.

Assessment of the treatment outcomes was conducted in an outpatient setting with the research of the glycemic profile and biochemical blood tests, conducted in the dynamics after 4-6 weeks of starting treatment.

Thus, in patients with 1st. severity of diabetes after 1 month a pronounced regression of complaints was observed; 78% returned to normal the blood sugar levels (within 5, 5-7, 4 mmol / l); in 74% disappeared vegetative-trophic disorders, in 81% - improved appetite, in 28% normalized the liver size, from the number of children with fatty infiltration of liver.

After 6-9 months the results of treatment has been maintained, and in many cases were even improved.
In patients with type 2 diabetes severity in 84% of the cases returned to the normal levels of blood glucose and urine (6,6-8,0 mmol / l); in 79% sensory disturbances disappeared, in 72% - have disappeared complaints about thirst, dry mouth; in 69% - cases improved metabolic parameters (total cholesterol level decreased to 220-250 mg%, total lipids up to 700-850 mg%, LDL to 400-450 mg%).

As in patients with 1 degree severity for the follow-up survey (after 6-9 months) the stable effect from the carried treatment was retained. For the patients with diabetes of 3 degree of the severity the effectiveness of treatment was expressed by figures 70 to 98% on the above criteria.
In 2.4% of cases treatment method was not effective enough, due to the fact that patients with IDDM (type 1) the disease progressed quickly, taking crisis course with a tendency to ketoacidosis.

Contraindications to receive the herbal remedies: individual intolerance to the herbs.

The Mechanism of action

Reception of the "Bionormalin" and the herbal teas will alkalify medium and spontaneously convert the glucose to fructose, thereby reducing the need for the exogenous (external) insulin.

Under the influence of biologically active substances, extracted from these medicinal plants, regeneration of pancreatic cells is enhanced, their function increased.

In addition, the reception of the herbal teas has immunoregulatory and antiinflammatory effect, improves cerebral and peripheral blood circulation, enriches the body with vitamins, trace elements, regulates all types of the metabolism (carbohydrate, mineral, protein, fat).
Significantly improved: sight, there is clarity in the head, goes away all the pain, goes away irritability, intestinal microflora is normalized, leaving perspiration, goes away dry mouth, sleep is normalized, frequency of urination, the warming of the limbs, wounds healed, goes away weakness, recovered potency, normal pressure, normal heart activity, recovered memory, improved blood circulation, cleansing of blood vessels, increases immunity.

A desire to live is appeared!

The principle of nutrition: from food should be excluded the readily absorbed carbohydrates: cakes, pies, ice cream, candy, sugar, sweet drinks, jam, grape, semolina and rice porridge. And, of course, given the high caloric content of the alcohol, which enhances its effect sugar-lowering drugs with the possible development of severe hypoglycemia, alcohol should be deleted. For patients with normal-weight principles of nutrition are the same: fragmentation of the food, exception of the sweet, the mandatory use of products containing cellulose, but the caloric intake should be higher than for patients with obesity.

When overweight, we recommend fasting days 2-3 times a week. For example: 1) Kefir- cottage cheese day-200g of cottage cheese, yogurt 1% -400 g; 2) meat day: boiled beef 400 grams, boiled cabbage - 400 g or a side dish of salad, carrots, green peas, cauliflower; 3 ) apple day - 1, 5 kg of apples on day; 4) oats day - 200 g of oatmeal boiled in water and add 3 gr. of salt. If you want something sweet, use sugar substitutes. They have no nutritional value, contain no carbohydrates, no calories. Sweeteners are usually available in a tablet form. These include drugs made on the basis of saccharin aspartame. These drugs can be bought in pharmacies under the names "Sukrazit", "Svitli", "Tsukli" (prepared on the basis of saccharin), "Slastilin", "Sladeks", "Nutrasvit" (prepared on the basis of aspartame).

As proteins, sweeteners prepared on the basis of aspartame, are destroyed when heated, so do not add them in the too hot beverages. Sweeteners based on saccharin can be used to make jams, syrups, and the baking.

Normalization of weight, adherence to diet, physical activity, periodic surveillance by an endocrinologist, allow for many patients to achieve stable compensation of diabetes, without the use of the peroral hypoglycemic drugs.
