Abstract:
Diabetes care involves a rational understanding of the complex clinical and pharmacological interactions. If we have clarity of thought in our goals and aims, it becomes much easier to plan treatment strategies. The hierarchal model of metabolic modulation and optimization represents an effort to achieve simplicity and straightforwardness in deciding aims of diabetes care, planning approaches, and choosing the right arsenal for intervention. This model lists the targets of therapy as symptomatic, glucometabolic, vasculometabolic, barometabolic and viscerometabolic optimization.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
