Diabetes?

Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Glucose is a type of sugar that the body uses as its primary source of energy. In people with diabetes, the body is either unable to produce enough insulin, which is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, or is unable to use the insulin it produces effectively. This results in high levels of glucose in the blood, which can lead to a range of complications over time.

There are three main types of diabetes:

type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body becomes resistant to insulin or is unable to produce enough insulin to meet its needs.

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after delivery.

Symptoms of diabetes can include increased thirst and hunger, frequent urination, blurred vision, fatigue, and slow-healing sores or infections. Treatment for diabetes typically involves managing blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medications such as insulin or oral glucose-lowering medications. People with diabetes also require regular monitoring and management of their blood sugar levels to help prevent complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, kidney damage, and vision problems.

Management of diabetes:

The management of diabetes typically involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, medications, and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Here are some key components of diabetes management:

1. Healthy eating: Eating a balanced and healthy diet that is low in sugar and refined carbohydrates can help manage blood sugar levels. A registered dietitian can help you develop a meal plan that meets your individual needs.
2. Regular exercise: Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
3. Medications: Depending on the type and severity of diabetes, medications such as insulin or oral glucose-lowering medications may be needed to help manage blood sugar levels.
4. Blood sugar monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels can help you track how well your diabetes management plan is working and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Management of other health conditions: People with diabetes are at increased risk for other health conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Managing these conditions through lifestyle modifications and medications can help reduce the risk of complications.
6. Regular check-ups: Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider can help monitor your diabetes and screen for any complications.
