Diabetology

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.
