FAQs
A diabetologist specialises in the management and treatment of diabetes, including medication management, lifestyle advice, and monitoring for complications.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin, while Type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance and is often related to lifestyle factors.
Symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision.
Monitoring frequency depends on individual treatment plans but often includes regular checks throughout the day, especially for those on insulin therapy.
Treat hypoglycaemia promptly with fast-acting carbohydrates, such as glucose tablets or juice, and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
While Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, Type 2 diabetes can often be delayed or prevented through healthy lifestyle choices and weight management.
Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, neuropathy, and vision loss.
Diabetes education provides essential knowledge and skills for effective self-management, improving control of blood glucose levels and reducing complications.
Recommended changes include adopting a balanced diet, increasing physical activity, managing stress, and adhering to medication regimens.
Frequency of visits depends on individual health needs and treatment plans, with regular check-ups recommended to monitor and adjust management strategies.
