Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes, known as diabetes mellitus, is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels resulting from the body’s inability to efficiently process sugar or glucose for energy. The causes of diabetes can vary among individuals, leading to its classification into three main types:
1. Type 1 Diabetes: This autoimmune condition involves the immune system attacking the body’s pancreatic beta cells responsible for insulin production, causing a deficiency in insulin and subsequent spikes in blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes is relatively rare, with genetic predisposition and environmental factors believed to be contributing factors.
2. Type 2 Diabetes: This form of diabetes arises when the body develops insulin resistance or struggles to utilize the insulin it produces effectively. It is the most prevalent type of diabetes and is commonly diagnosed in older individuals and those who are obese.
3. Gestational Diabetes: A less common type of diabetes that occurs during the final trimester of pregnancy, gestational diabetes is triggered by insulin-blocking hormones produced by the placenta, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. While manageable, it can sometimes result in birth complications if not properly addressed.
Diabetes Treatment Approach The management of diabetes necessitates ongoing care and monitoring to ensure optimal health outcomes. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals at Medha Hospital and Trauma Centre tailors personalized treatment plans to suit each patient’s unique lifestyle and assist them in achieving their diabetes management objectives effectively.
Our comprehensive diabetes management program encompasses various aspects, including:
● Blood Sugar Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential to regulate sugar levels effectively, considering factors such as diet, medication, physical activity, illness, stress, and hormonal changes.
● Insulin Therapy: Individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes may require insulin therapy, which can involve different types of insulin, including rapid-acting, long-acting, and intermediate options.
● Medication Options: Depending on the type and severity of diabetes, our healthcare providers may recommend oral or injectable medications to stimulate insulin production or enhance its effectiveness.
● Transplantation: In cases where conventional treatments prove ineffective, a pancreas transplant may be considered for select individuals with type 1 diabetes as a last resort.
● Bariatric Surgery: Recognizing the significant role of metabolism in blood sugar regulation, bariatric surgery stands out as a highly effective treatment option for type 2 diabetes. Our skilled surgeons offer minimally invasive procedures to reshape the stomach and improve metabolic function, leading to improved diabetes management outcomes.
