“Diabetes causes more annual deaths than breast cancer and AIDS combined,” stated Mark Pound, CEO and president of Trina Health of Missouri. “For many years one of the main focuses on diabetes has been controlling blood sugar, which is a symptom of the underlying problem of improper carbohydrate metabolism. The Artificial Pancreas Treatment treats the problem, not the symptom.”

Trina Health of Missouri’s clinically licensed staff -- comprised of an MD, NP, and LPN --provides individualized treatments specifically designed and monitored to each patient’s level of diabetic complications.

Each session consists of three one-hour treatments coupled with metabolic evaluations for a total combined time of 3.5 to 4 hours. New patients are treated weekly until complications improve at which time their treatment frequency can decrease to once every two to three weeks. Treatments are covered by most primary insurance plans including Medicare and the Veterans Administration (VA).

The eight-chair, 1,674 sq. ft. facility treats two rotations (16 patients) per day. To make an appointment or receive more information, call (314) 628-1607 or visit www.trinahealthofmo.com.

To celebrate the grand opening, Trina Health of Missouri will host an Open House tonight from 5:00 to 8:00pm at 1585 Woodlake Drive, Ste. 104, Chesterfield, MO 63017.

The Core Problem

In non-diabetics, the pancreas secretes bursts of insulin every four to six minutes at a specific pressure to signal the liver to produce enzymes necessary for proper carbohydrate metabolism. Diabetes occurs when this metabolic communication breaks down and the liver no longer receives its signals to function properly. This results in oxidative stress and inflammation leading to diabetic complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, and death.

Artificial Pancreas Treatment (APT)

APT is the only process that promotes normalization of carbohydrate metabolism in diabetic patients to slow, halt, and/or reverse the chronic complications in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Patient comfort is optimized as they’re able to walk and/or sit while wearing the patented, FDA-approved Bionica Microdose Pump. About the size of a large smart phone, this mobile device uses IV infusion to mimic the insulin pulses of a healthy pancreas. This in turn stimulates the liver to produce the enzymes necessary for carbohydrate metabolism, which lowers lipid metabolism, resulting in more cellular energy in body tissues. APT also calms inflammatory cytokines, reduces cellular oxygen requirements, helps normalize blood flow and allows cells and organs to heal themselves throughout the body.

However, the Artificial Pancreas Treatment is not a cure.

“Doctors and patients ask if Trina Health APT is so wonderful, how come they’ve never heard of it,” said Chris LaBelle, chief business development officer for Trina Health of Missouri. “It took the inventor, G. Ford Gilbert, JD, PhD, 27 years of development, 16 university clinical trials and over 53 publications to develop the device and establish consistent treatment protocols.”
