Insulin Pump Therapy,

Insulin pump therapy is an advanced method of managing diabetes, particularly for individuals with Type 1 diabetes, although it can also be beneficial for some with Type 2 diabetes.

Dietary management

It involves creating a balanced and individualized eating plan that helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, manage weight, and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.

Lifestyle modifications

Lifestyle modifications are critical components of managing diabetes effectively. By making strategic changes to daily habits, individuals can significantly improve blood sugar control, reduce the risk of complications, and enhance their overall quality of life.

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased needs during pregnancy, leading to high blood sugar levels.

Pediatric Diabetes

Pediatric diabetes refers to diabetes that occurs in children and adolescents, with Type 1 diabetes being the most common form. Managing diabetes in children requires a comprehensive and family-centered approach to ensure healthy growth and development while maintaining blood sugar control.

Sugar Management in (ICU)

Frequently Asked Questions About
The Patient For The Public

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition where the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This leads to elevated levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood, which can cause various health complications if not properly managed. There are three main types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes.

What are the Symptoms of Diabetes?

Common symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, extreme hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds. However, some people with Type 2 diabetes may not experience noticeable symptoms, making regular screening important.

What Causes Diabetes?

The exact cause of diabetes varies depending on the type. Type 1 diabetes is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is often linked to genetics, obesity, and lifestyle factors like poor diet and lack of exercise. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and is related to hormonal changes and insulin resistance.

How is Diabetes Diagnosed?

Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests that measure blood sugar levels. The most common tests include the fasting blood glucose test, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and the HbA1c test, which measures average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. A diagnosis is typically made if blood sugar levels are above certain thresholds.
