Is Type 2 Diabetes Tougher to Treat in Teenagers and Young Men

Type 2 Diabetes can also be called adult diabetes, which takes place when people are more than 35 to 40 years old, taking up 90% of those who are suffering diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the ability of insulin does not get lost completely. Insulin in type 2 diabetes is relatively in insufficiency. People can take in some oral medicine to stimulate the secretion of insulin. Later, some patients still need to take insulin injection treatment. In one word, in the long run, type 2 diabetes need to control blood sugar, and make schedule on the exercise and diet.
Recently, type 2 diabetes is said to be tougher to treat in teenager and young men especially in America. Why?
A major study, released Sunday, tested several ways to manage blood sugar in teens newly diagnosed with diabetes and found that nearly half of them failed within a few years and 1 in 5 suffered serious complications. The results spell trouble for a nation facing rising rates of "diabesity" - Type 2 diabetes brought on by obesity.
The federally funded study is the largest look yet at how to treat diabetes in teens. Earlier studies mostly have been in adults, and most diabetes drugs aren't even approved for youths. The message is clear: Prevention is everything. A third of American children and teens are overweight or obese.
How to treat type 2 diabetes for teenagers effectively?
On one hand, preventing blood sugar is critical. One the other hand, stem cell is the most effective method till now to treat type 2 diabetes. It is essential cell which can renew itself and differentiate into cells the body needs after it is injected into patients’ body. How does it treat type 2 diabetes? It will repair the damaged beta cells, and diminish the resistance of insulin in the body, thus treating type 2 diabetes. In addition, if there are necrotic beta cells in the body, stem cell can differentiate into those to rebuild its function. After beta cells can be repaired or renewed, insulin can secrete normally and type 2 diabetes can be treated in teenagers and young men successfully.
