International Conference on Targeting Diabetes and Novel Therapeutics September 14-16, 2015 Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most significant global health concerns of modern times. According to the International Diabetes Federation, more than 317 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, and an additional 187 million are living undiagnosed. The global revenue earned from drugs sales to treat type 2 diabetes was approximately $36.89 billion in 2012 that is rapidly increasing in incidence and prevalence across the globe predicated to elevate this figure to approximately $68.42 billion by 2017. Patients with this disease cannot use glucose properly for their body needs. Self-monitoring of Blood glucose levels, Lifestyle modifications and Health eating habits are crucial in combating the critical manifestations of this disease. Insulin pumps and Type-2 Non-insulin therapies are the primarily focused areas in disease treatment.

Diabetes mellitus is a dreadful disease and is found in all parts of the world, becoming a serious threat of mankind health. There are lots of chemical agents available to take control on the disease, but total recovery from diabetes is the question to the treatment. Alternative to these synthetic agents, plants provided a potential source of hypoglycemic drugs and are widely used in several traditional systems of medicine to prevent diabetes. Other alternative therapies such as dietary supplements, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and yoga therapies are reported to have less likely side effects of conventional approaches for diabetes.

With the growing awareness and information regarding preventive measures for combating fatal disease like diabetes, consumers are opting for proper food along with medicines. One can improve the health in a big way by making small changes to the diet, while still enjoying the favorite foods and taking pleasure from the meals. A diabetes diet is simply a healthy eating plan that is high in nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories. Manufacturers are now keen on introducing new low calorie food products with sugar substitutes and less oil, in view of the increasing consumer interest toward healthy eating and help prevent diabetes and its concomitant risk factors

The global diabetes treatment market is undergoing significant transition driven by the advent of new analytical technologies and developments in diabetes treatment. There has been a drastic increase in the incidents of diabetes worldwide, owing to the rising level of lifestyles and obesity in global population. The diabetes treatment products include injectable diabetes drugs, oral drugs, insulin therapies, insulin pumps, insulin injection devices and blood glucose monitoring systems. According to the new report the world market for diabetes medications will reach $55.3bn in 2017. The anti-diabetic medicines industry generated $35.6bn in 2012, and its revenues will show strong growth to 2023. Monitoring glucose levels is critical for the management of diabetes and new and improved portable, less costly, easy-to-use, accurate and virtually painless blood glucose monitoring systems are now available to take control of the disease.

Novel therapeutic targets available for diabetes includes Incretin based therapies, oral therapeutic agents like secretagogues, beta cell regeneration & proliferation and stem cell therapies. Embryonic stem cell and fetal precursor cell transplantation therapies are the major stem cell therapies available for Diabetes. Apart from the above, various computational approaches in Diabetes management have been introduced recently which are playing an important role in identification of genes causing diabetes helping in Early Detection of Diabetes. These processes are also useful in studying the chemical etiologies of Diabetes uncovering various treatment prospects and model construction processes for survival prediction.

Computational meta-analysis can link environmental chemicals to genes and proteins involved in human diseases, thereby elucidating possible etiologies. The recent rapid development of a variety of analytical platforms based on mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance have enabled identification of complex metabolic phenotypes. Continued development of bioinformatics and analytical strategies has facilitated the discovery of causal links in understanding the pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications

Current Research in diabetes is focusing on developing Implantable insulin pumps which introduced Insulin pump therapy, disruption of fat metabolism, invasive and non-invasive glucose sensors, Artificial pancreas, New insulin delivery systems like inhaled, transdermal and implantable devices, Insulin Pens, Bariatric surgery and Conventional therapeutic approaches. Traditional approaches like Acupuncture and herbal medications are playing vital role in treatment of Diabetes.

Diabetes is always accompanied by a number of serious health issues. Consistent increase in blood glucose levels can lead to serious diseases affecting the vital organs of body like heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves and teeth. In almost all high-income countries, diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation. Maintaining blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol at or close to normal can help delay or prevent diabetes complications.
