Absorbance of Non-diabetic and Diabetic “Blood Samples” In the experiment‚ I tested the blood glucose level of diabetic and non-diabetic people every 30 minutes starting from right before a meal was eaten up until two hours. I did this by measuring the amount of light absorbed by the solutions through a spectrophotometer. By doing so I found that for diabetics the maximum blood glucose increased more quickly than non-diabetics‚ which increased and decreased at a steady rate. With this information

Simultaneously the clinical profile of these patients showed reduction in the frequency of anginal attacks and gradually‚ the drugs‚ like verapamil‚ nifedipine‚ beta-blockers and nitrates‚ were tapered. The patients‚ most benefitted‚ were diabetics (without adding any antidiabetic drug). The exact mechanism of the action of the above two substances

Cost is a big issue for some people because some can not afford the pump‚ but in the long run‚ it is better The average life expectancy of a type 1 diabetic is around 79 years.
