Diabetes and diabetic's foot ulcers. November 16, 2018

Around the world, 425 million people live with diabetes and upwards of 15 percent develop foot ulcers, which increases their risk of death 2.5 times. A new nitric oxide-releasing technology has the potential to cut down the healing time of diabetic foot ulcers from 120 days to 21 days. 

    At first, how ulcers increase  risk of death? Long before death happened it is ulcer on foot. So, simple cure the ulcers, regardless it is 120 days or it will be 21 days, and there is no risk of death, right?
     Second, why it is ulcers on foot taking into consideration? Why wounds on leg out of concern?  Start to treat wounds on legs, and there is no risk of speedy death, right?
     Lastly, how ulcers developed in first place? If diabetes treated effectively then there is no never healing wounds, right? So, ulcers resulted by wrongly treated diabetes type 2. If so, then the full article which present that  ulcers can be healed in 21 days, just Pure Scam, right?
     How ulcers treated now, and what a new technology suggest to do?

However, simply pumping up nitric oxide is not necessarily better. The long-term plan of Michigan Technological University researchers is to create nitric oxide-laden bandages that adjust the chemical release depending on the cell conditions.

There is the problem.
       What does it mean, "ulcers are healed'? That's right, they never heal because of diabetes still active. If so, then ulcers never will be healed. Regardless what type of bandage applied, ulcers present after they developed in first place.
         When it is presented that ulcers healed after 21 days with a new bandage, what does this mean? if healing present, so, there is no longer need in bandage. So, if bandage stopped to be applied, what will be next? The same condition as it was before, 21 days ago.

Diabetes stats from the World Health Organization, International Diabetes Federation, "Diabetic foot ulcers and their recurrence" in New England Journal of Medicine, and "Advanced biological therapies for diabetic foot ulcers" in Archives of Dermatology reveal the challenge researchers in this field face:

• 1.5 million deaths globally in 2012
• 425 million people worldwide live with diabetes
• 15 percent or more live with diabetic foot ulcers
• 2.5 times more likely to die
• 90-150 days to heal
• $176 billion spent in U.S. every year on diabetes

       Very dramatic, is not it. Then more drama then more  articles needed to wake up diabetes awareness. So, more money into authors pockets. As it said long ago, put net where the money flow. There are something for every one. As I posted all the time, diabetics type 2 are very profitable for members of society. Our Sweet Blood and our Sweet Death are huge money flow to the Medical  and Social Net.

Collaboration is a key part of the engineering design process. To build a nitric oxide bandage with personalized healing power, the team plans to work next with the UP Portage Health System to gather cell samples from local patients. By expanding their cell samples -- and applying the tech to real-world patients -- the team will continue to broaden their database while deepening their knowledge of nitric oxide mechanisms.

       Money, money, more money needed. But say me, how bandage will heal the ulcer?  Ulcer is the wound. Bandage is only the way to cover wound, to protect wound from infecting. as it is clear for every one, we do not apply special bandages on our wounds, regardless it is diabetics wound or simple cut. We put on medicine to the effected area, and put bandage to secure medicine in place.
     Why this way is not the way how to treat diabetic ulcer? Apply medicine on all the effected area, regardless how big it is, and secure the medicine in its place. In this case, there is no need in special bandage, which will never applied to diabetic's  type 2 ulcers. Diabetics type 2 mostly low income  members of society. If it is high rank of social ladder then it is diabetic type 1. We are type 2, number 2 population.

In a few years, they plan to have a working bandage prototype, one that leaves off the clunky nitrite proxies and nitric oxide dumps. Instead, patients dealing with diabetic foot ulcers will see a light at the end of the tunnel much sooner than half a year or more -- the nitric oxide-releasing bandage could help heal one of healthcare's toughest diseases in less than a month.

Sorry guys, there is no light for diabetic type 2.
        At first, there are a few years in developing bandage prototype.  This is way to secure good paid study for developers, but nothing for diabetics type 2. One after another those who developed that condition, will perish.
       Second, millions of diabetics type 2 live without health insurance. No one of them would  buy that bandages. Too expensive and useless. In this condition diabetic type 2 develop gangrene and subject to surgery.
       Lastly, if it was true as it was said in the first paragraph, ulcers healing within 120 days. We will take it, three month only, and there is no need to lose foot. Sorry, it does not work in this way. Ulcers do not heal within 120 days, nether will be they heal in 21 day. They never heal, and authors do know it very well.
