Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects how the body processes glucose (blood sugar). It occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. There are several types of diabetes, including:

• Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little to no insulin.
• Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form, characterized by insulin resistance and often linked to lifestyle factors.
• Gestational Diabetes: A temporary condition that develops during pregnancy and may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes later in life.
• Prediabetes: A stage where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes.

Symptoms of Diabetes

Common signs and symptoms of diabetes include:

• Frequent urination
• Excessive thirst and hunger
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue and weakness
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing wounds
• Tingling or numbness in hands and feet

Diagnosis & Screening

Early detection plays a crucial role in managing diabetes and preventing complications. We offer comprehensive diabetes screening and diagnostic tests, including:

• Fasting Blood Sugar Test
• HbA1c Test (Glycated Hemoglobin Test)
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
• Random Blood Sugar Test
• Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

1. Medication Management

Importance of Early Intervention: Research-Based Insights

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), early detection and proper diabetes management can reduce the risk of complications by 30-50%. Additionally, research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that maintaining an HbA1c level below 7% can lower the risk of diabetes-related complications by 35%. A study published in the American Diabetes Association Journal highlights that individuals who maintain optimal blood sugar levels reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Regular health check-ups and lifestyle modifications can significantly enhance the quality of life for diabetic patients.
