- Principles of Diabetes- Definition, aetiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, types and diagnosis
Diabetes is a common but manageable condition. It’s caused by problems with insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Some risk factors include genetics, poor diet, and lack of exercise. Diabetes comes in two main types: Type 1 and Type 2. Diagnosis involves blood tests to measure sugar levels. Understanding the principles of diabetes can empower you to take control of your health. - Diabetes in Pregnancy
When diabetes occurs during pregnancy, it’s called gestational diabetes. Managing blood sugar levels is crucial for the health of both the mother and baby. This often involves dietary changes and monitoring. Regular check-ups with healthcare providers help ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy journey. - Diabetes management in Elderly
Managing diabetes in older adults is vital for their well-being. For a simpler approach, stick to a routine with healthy meals, medication, and regular check-ups. Keep an eye on blood sugar levels and communicate openly with healthcare professionals. - Acute Hyperglycaemia:
Acute hyperglycaemia happens when blood sugar levels spike, often in people with diabetes. Symptoms may include excessive thirst and frequent urination. To manage it, take prescribed medications and adjust your diet. - Diabetes Complications
