Medications that lower blood sugar in Diabetes type 2 – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Website: www.Doctorharold.com “Insulin is not a cure for Diabetes; it is a treatment. It enables the diabetic to burn sufficient carbohydrates so that proteins and fats may be added to the diet in sufficient quantities to provide energy for the economic burdens of life.” – Lee Haney. The blood sugar level when checked up randomly in a normal person is less than 140 mg/dL or 7.8 mmol/L. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours of having your meal, means you have diabetes. A fasting blood sugar level of 99 mg/dL or lower is normal, 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes. Regardless of when you last ate, a level of 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L ) or higher suggests diabetes, especially if ...

Live in Concert in Kandy Chandraleka, Rookantha and Raini 1st June 2023 Oakray Regency Hotel Kandy. – By Dr harold Gunatillake Website: www.Doctorharold.com I had the opportunity of attending this concert and it was an amazing experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. The energy of the crowd and the music was simply electrifying. The bands played their famous hits, and the crowd sang along to every song. The sound quality was top-notch, and the stage setup was also incredible. This concert gave me the thought once again to ask myself, ‘Where are the starving people?

Knowing about Glaucoma – By Harold Gunatillake Glaucoma is an eye condition that can lead to blindness due to increased pressure within the eye. There are two major types of glaucoma: open-angle and angle-closure Your eyeball is connected to the brain by a thick nerve cord called the optic nerve. The optic nerve transmits electrical impulses from your eyes to your brain. Your brain processes this sensory information so that you can see. The nerve is connected to the underside of your brain and conducts visual information to the brain. In glaucoma, this optic nerve can get damaged due to fluid building up in the front of the eye which increases the pressure inside the eye and may lead to blindness unless controlled with eye drops. This condition must be detected early and treated early to prevent blindness. So viewers, get your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist early in life, ...

Mechanism of blood pressure control in your body and how drugs called ACE inhibitors are used to counteract high blood pressure. – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Written by Dr Harold Gunatillake FRCS Your body has a system to keep your blood vessels narrowed, increase salt retention and water, i.e., tissue perfusion balance, and maintain blood pressure in emergencies such as traumatic bleeding and other times. For instance, if you lose blood from trauma, this mechanism starts working straight away in your body. This is the inbuilt mechanism to survive through the ReninAngiotensin-Aldosterone System or RAAS. The renin-angiotensin system, or renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, is a hormone system that regulates blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance, and systemic vascular resistance. It is natural for blood pressure to rise with age due to the overreaction of the RAAS system and the natural process of thickening, hardening, and narrowing the lumen of the arteries. This ...
