“…Diabetes mellitus is divided into type 1 diabetes mellitus which is insulin-dependent and type 2 which is non-insulin-dependent. Type 1 is manifested due to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells which leads to the release of low insulin into the blood and it can be regulated by the administration of insulin (23). Whereas type 2 occurs when insulin is not used properly by the body or the body reaction with insulin production is reduced (24).…”

Musa paradisiaca Linn. (Plantain or cooking banana) is among the major crops that are being cultivated by farmers and serve as the main food crop for both animals and humans in some parts of the world. It shows several beneficial properties. In traditional medicine, the fruits in addition to the other parts of the plant such as the stalk, peel, pulp and leaf are used to treat different diseases in humans. This review presents the scientific information on the pharmacological potentials, possible nutritional values and phytochemicals of this Musa species. It is a source of carbohydrate that can easily be digestible and also provides vital vitamins like vitamin B complex, vitamin C and a lot of minerals like potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) etc. Most of the in vitro studies, in vivo (animal model) studies and clinical trials, propose that innumerable banana and plantain parts have been utilized in traditional medicine for the treatment of countless non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cancer, hypertension, atherosclerosis, ulcers, urolithiasis and Alzheimer’s infection. Also, this review reports the phytocompounds isolated through the use of different solvents for extraction of the plant’s parts. A comprehensive assessment of the biological activities of different extracts is included and possible mechanisms and phytochemicals involved have been correlated.

“…Diversos meta-análisis randomizados que comparan MDI frente a ICSI, concluyen que la ICSI consigue mejor control glucémico que la insulinización mediante MDI [55], [56], aunque con una diferencia muy discreta (de -0,2 a -0,4% puntos). Además, la mejora del control glucémico se consigue con una menor cantidad de insulina, habiéndose descrito una reducción media de las necesidades de insulina del 14% en los pacientes que usan ISCI comparados con los tratados con MDI, y una reducción de la frecuencia de las hipoglucemias graves, tanto por la farmacocinética de la insulina suministrada como por la reducción de la dosis de insulina [57].…”
