The patient coexists with her thanks to the administration of drugs or the injection of insulin, but if you do not control adequately can be significant complications such as hypoglycaemia (lack of blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (excess glucose in the blood), which in the long term can lead to other diseases such as Neuropathiesretinopathy and cardiovascular effects. That is why it is vital that patient is formed, understand your situation and learn to deal with it as soon as possible.

“ Sweeteners are a useful weapon for the sweet taste without increasing the calorie ”.

DRA. Pilar Riobo, specialist in Endocrinology and nutrition, and author of the opinion article published in news is *.

-the International Sweeteners Association (ISA) reiterates that there are no health risks arising from the consumption of food and drinks which contain sweeteners authorised

Madrid, 2011-August according to the DRA. Pilar Riobo, specialist in Endocrinology and nutrition, and Associate Chief of the service of Endocrinology and nutrition of the Hospital-Fundación Jiménez Díaz of Madrid, scientific research has shown that foods and drinks that contain low and no calorie sweeteners can help people manage their calorie intake. In this sense, the expert noted that various studies show that people who use low products and without calories tend to be healthier diets.

All authorised sweeteners have passed serious scientific studies to evaluate its safety, and thanks to its sweet taste and consumption does not increase the caloric intake, are a useful weapon in the fight against obesity. The expert in Endocrinology and nutrition, Pilar Riobo collaborated in the latest issue of the publication of Coca-Cola Spain, is news, however, pointed to combat obesity, it is necessary to carry out multidisciplinary treatment, in which sweeteners is always associated with a balanced dietand a change in the behavior of eating habits and increased physical activity. Also said that “ sweeteners are a useful weapon for the sweet taste without increasing calories ” and “ people who use low products and without calories tend to make diets healthier ”.

According to the DRA. Riobo, a scientific study conducted earlier showed that the participants in the same, consumed 15% less calories when sources of sugar were being replaced by aspartame (Porikos et to the.). Similarly, other research has shown that after a year of monitoring the use of low sweeteners and without calories associated with weight loss, increased physical activity and decreased the desire for sweet food (Kanders et to the.). In this regard, another study further found that people who used sweeteners maintained better weight lost after three years of assessment (Blackburn et to the.).

For more than 30 years, the food industry has developed different types of low sweeteners and without calories, with the main objective of replacing the sugar (sucrose) table. With regard to the different types of sweeteners can be found, the specialist has highlighted that saccharin, marketed since 1978, adds calories; Aspartame is between 180-200 times sweeter than sucrose, and only small amounts are needed to sweeten foods and beverages; potassium acesulfamo is 200 times sweeter than sugar; Sucralose is about 600 times sweeter and can not be absorbed, so it does not add calories; the neotamo is 10,000 times sweeter and the cyclamate is 30 times sweeter than sucrose. Of the latter, relatively small amounts are needed to sweeten foods and beverages, so their caloric intake in the diet is negligible.

Recent meeting in Brussels of experts

At the same time, the Conference of the International Sweeteners Association (International sweeteners Association), held recently in Brussels, highlighted that low sweeteners and calories consumed continuously, as substitutes of sugar in food and beverage, can play a significant role in weight loss when necessary, and in the maintenance of a healthy weight.

The Conference, which brought together eminent experts in nutrition, obesity and food safety to discuss the role and benefits of sweeteners and investigate some of the issues that surround them, concluded that they offer an effective solution to meet our natural desire for sweet food without contributing excessive calories consumption and weight gain.

In this regard, the expert participants in the meeting emphasized that current scientific data and the results of numerous experts and independent analysis shows constantly that there is no evidence of risk on the consumption of these substances on health, and argue otherwise can help promote that will “ abandon a valuable weapon in the fight against obesity ”.

The International Sweeteners Association (International sweeteners Association) is a non-profit recognized by the European Commission, national and international regulatory authorities and the World Health Organization (who) and is non-governmental observer status in the Codex Alimentarius Commissionthat sets food standards at the international level.

In the Health Department of the Bank there are about 20,000 diabetics older than 14 years, although it is estimated that you between 4-6% of the population have diabetes and don’t know.

Foot disorders are the main cause of hospitalization in people with diabetes. In fact, estimated that about 10-15 per cent of persons suffering from this disease have disorders of the foot, corresponding 10% to ulcers, while 2-5% result in amputations.

As highlighted healthcare Assistant Director of the Department of health of the Bank Dr. Antonio Fuertes, “ 80% of non-traumatic amputations carried out in Spain is antecedent to diabetic ulcer ”. In addition, the peri-operative mortality (i.e. before, during and after the operation) of the amputation is 6%, a percentage which rises up to 50% after 3 years of the intervention.

The Protocol’s comprehensive approach to diabetic foot drawn up by the Health Department of the Bank collects a series of actions aimed at health workers, which have been organized into three large groups: primary prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary prevention.

Madrid, July of 2011- recent research conducted by scientists from Portugal and United Kingdom, emphasizes that there is no evidence between the intake of sugary drinks and overweight in children of the Mediterranean countries. This study, entitled Sugar-sweetened beverage intake and overweight in children from a mediterranean country. It has been published in the prestigious scientific journal Public Health Nutrition.

research has analyzed a sample of 1675 Portuguese children aged between 5 and 10 years. The aim has been to assess the association between the consumption of sugary drinks and overweight children in a country Mediterranean.

the results of the study, recently published in the scientific journal Public Health Nutrition, have been clear that there have been differences in the consumption of sugary drinks among children who had a normal weight and those who were overweight. To this end, the study was based on a semicuantitativo questionnaire in which we collected data on the frequency of food consumption, and allowing to calculate the index of Corporal mass (IMC) of the school. In addition, scientists established a prevalence of overweight and obesity of 36.6% in girls and 28.8 per cent in children.

research authors have stressed that their findings “ suggest that the fact of reducing or eliminating the consumption of sugary beverages will not have a large effect on the distribution of the BMI of the children ”. However, pointed out that “ dietary advice and nutritional education must clearly communicate only sweetened beverages should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, especially for those children who are overweight or risk of having it, because these beverages are a source of energy ”.

in this regard, a previous cross-sectional study, known as “ Studio oat ” and published by Spanish scientists in the journal „ nutrition Hospitalaria‟, also confirms these conclusions now, and indicates not found no relationship between the intake of sugary drinks and the circumference of the waist, calculating body fat or IMC.
