There is no cure for<unk> ; however, there are treatment aims to reduce the symptoms and prevent further complications. Some of these treatment aims include: * Corrective lenses: tinted lenses that help with the sensitivity from bright lights. The patients may have to adapt to reading in Braille, use adaptive equipment, mobility aids and adaptive computing skills. * Education: patients with<unk>  suffering from intellectual disabilities must have access to education. They must be able to receive free and appropriate education. Some<unk>  patients are educated in normal classrooms. Other patients have to take special education classes or attend to specialized schools that are prepared to teach children with disabilities. Staff members from schools have to consult with patient's parents or caregivers in order to design an education plan based on the child's needs. In addition, the school may document the progress of the child in order to confirm that the child's needs are being met. * Hearing aids: the battery-operated devices are available in three styles: behind the ear, in the ear and inside the ear canal. Behind the ear aims for mild-to-profound hearing loss. In the ear aims for mild to severe hearing loss. Lastly, the canal device is aimed for mild to moderately severe hearing loss. Patients that have severe hearing loss may benefit from a cochlear implant. * Diet: an appropriate and healthy diet is necessary for individuals with<unk>  because it could potentially decreases chances of obesity or diabetes. * Occupational therapy: the therapist helps the child learn skills to help him or her perform basic daily tasks like eating, getting dressed and communicating with others. * Physical Activity: exercising reduces chances of being obese and helping control blood sugar levels. * Dialysis: helps restore filtering function. With hemodialysis, a patient's blood circulates into an external filter and clean. The filtered blood is then returned into the body. With peritoneal dialysis, fluid containing dextrose is introduced into the abdomen by a tube. The solution then absorbs the wastes into the body and is then removed. * Transplantation: patients that endure a kidney failure may undergo a kidney transplantation. * Surgery: if the patient endures severe scoliosis or kyphosis, surgery may be required. Medication * Antibiotics: patients with lung problems will be prescribed antibiotics because they are more prone to infections like bronchitis. * Oral diabetes medications: are taken by mouth to treat diabetes. Can be taken combined into a single pill, which may be more effective and convenient for people with diabetes. It is usually taken once or twice daily before meals. Some of these medications includes: * Meglitinides (repaglinide and nateglinide): taken to stimulate the cells found in the pancreas to release insulin. These drugs are taken by mouth daily before each meal and could cause a drop in blood sugar. * Metformin (biguanide): decreases the amount blood sugar being released by the liver and by stimulating the cells within muscles to take up blood sugar. Taken twice daily. * Thiazolidinediones (rosiglitazone and pioglitazone): taken to help insulin work more efficiently in muscle and fat cells causing the liver to release less glucose. Is associated with heart failure. * Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitors (sitagliptin): helps with improving blood sugar levels by decreasing the action of an enzyme breaking down GLP-1 (lowers the blood sugar level). * Injected diabetes medicine: taken by an injection into the fat below the skin. Sometimes referred as subcutaneous injections. Some of these medications include the following: * Pramlintide (Symlin): is an Amylin agonist. It acts centrally (via the brain) to reduce food intake and blood sugar. It is most commonly used at mealtimes by people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. * Exenatide (Byetta): synthetic form of exendin-4 ( a GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases secretion of insulin, decreases the secretion of glucagon from the pancreas and reduces food intake). * Cholesterol-lowering medications: is necessary when cholesterol levels are high. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, also called "statins," effectively lower levels of low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol and triglycerides. High-dose nicotinic acid (niacin) may also reduce cholesterol levels. * Heart medications: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, diuretics, digoxin and beta-blockers may help with the management of cardiomyopathy and heart failure.
