Diabetology

Diabetes mellitus type 1 is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin. It typically develops in children and young adults.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is the most common form, often associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin.

Diabetes mellitus type 3 is a rare form of diabetes that can occur in some individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.

Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth, but it increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

Effective diabetes management involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring of blood glucose levels. Key components include:

• Healthy Eating: A balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins helps manage blood sugar levels.
• Regular Exercise: Physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and control weight.
• Medication: Depending on the type of diabetes, insulin therapy or oral medications may be necessary to regulate blood sugar levels.
• Monitoring: Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential to track levels and adjust treatment as needed.
• Education: Understanding diabetes and its management is crucial for patients to make informed decisions about their health.

Diabetology is centered around managing and treating diabetes. It involves a detailed process of diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.

Step 1: Initial Diagnosis

Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests like fasting glucose levels, HbA1c, and random glucose tests. We also consider family history and lifestyle factors.

Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan

After diagnosis, we create a treatment plan based on the patient's condition. This includes lifestyle modifications, medication, and regular monitoring.

Step 3: Regular Monitoring

Patients are encouraged to monitor their glucose levels regularly. We also schedule follow-ups to check progress and adjust treatments as needed.

Step 4: Lifestyle Management

Our team provides guidance on diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes to help control blood sugar levels effectively.
