Have you ever wondered why eating too much sugar is not good for you, especially if you have diabetes? Scientists have found a medicine that can protect your body from the harm too much sugar can cause.

This medicine is called Vildagliptin, and it's especially helpful for people with type 2 diabetes.

What Does Vildagliptin Do?

When someone has diabetes, their blood sugar levels can get very high. This is not good for the blood vessels, which are like tiny tubes that carry blood everywhere in your body. High blood sugar can hurt these tubes, making it hard for them to work right.

But, scientists have found that Vildagliptin can protect these tubes from the damage high sugar can cause. In a study by Meng Zhang and others in 2018, they discovered that Vildagliptin can help keep the blood vessels healthy even when there's a lot of sugar in the blood (Zhang et al., 2018).

How Does It Work?

Your blood vessels have a lining called the endothelium. Think of it as the inner skin of the blood vessels. This skin can get hurt if there's too much sugar around. Vildagliptin helps by:

Making sure the endothelium stays healthy and can do its job.

Stopping too much bad stuff (like LDH and ROS) from forming because of the sugar. These bad things can make the endothelium sick.

Keeping down swelling in the blood vessels. Swelling can make it hard for blood to flow.

The study showed that Vildagliptin could do all these things, which means it can keep the blood vessels working well, even in people with diabetes.

Why Is This Important?

Healthy blood vessels are very important. They need to be strong and flexible to carry blood to all parts of your body. If they get hurt by too much sugar, it can lead to big problems, like heart disease or even trouble thinking clearly.

By taking medicine like Vildagliptin, people with diabetes can help protect their blood vessels from getting hurt. This means they have a better chance of staying healthy and avoiding big problems later on.

What Can You Do?

If you or someone you know has diabetes, it's essential to take care of your blood vessels. Here are some things you can do:

Eat healthy foods that don't have too much sugar.

Stay active with exercises like walking or biking.

Listen to your doctor about medicines that might help, like Vildagliptin.

Remember, taking care of your blood vessels is an important part of taking care of your whole body. With the right food, exercise, and medicine, you can help keep your body strong and healthy!
