Managing Diabetes

We love what we do!

Managing Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar (glucose) Without proper insulin function, blood sugar levels become elevated, which can lead to complications over time.

There are three main types

Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body cannot produce insulin.

Type 2 Diabetes: A condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough.

Gestational Diabetes: Develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth but increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes later.

Symptoms of Diabetes

  • Increased thirst and frequent urination (due to excess glucose in the bloodstream)
  • Unexplained weight loss or gain
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Blurred vision
  • Slow-healing wounds or infections
  • Numbness or tingling in hands and feet (especially in Type 2 diabetes)

Risk Factors

Certain factors increase the risk of developing diabetes, such as:

  • Family history of diabetes
  • Being overweight or obese
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Age (especially over 45 for Type 2 diabetes)
  • High blood pressure or high cholesterol

Proper management through medication, lifestyle changes, and monitoring blood sugar can help control diabetes and prevent complications.
