Diabetes Mellitus Treatment in C-scheme, Jaipur

Diabetes mellitus, which is commonly known as diabetes, is a condition that leads to high blood sugar levels. Your body produces a hormone known as insulin, which moves the sugar from your blood into the cells to store it and use it for energy. When you suffer from diabetes, your body is either not able to produce enough insulin or not able to utilize it appropriately. If this disease is left untreated, it can damage your nerves, eyes, kidneys, and other organs.

What are the Types of Diabetes?

There are two types of diabetes:

Type 1: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, where your immune system attacks and destroys the cells of the pancreas. The exact reason why this occurs is still not known.

Type 2: Type 2 diabetes is when your body becomes insulin resistant.

There are also two other types of diabetes known as prediabetes and gestational diabetes. Prediabetes is when your sugar levels are high, but not high enough to be considered diabetes while gestational diabetes is a symptom of pregnancy.

• Increased hunger
• Increased thirst

How To Care For Diabetes?

If you are diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing you must do is avoid panic. You can easily manage diabetes with proper care and by changing your lifestyle habits a little bit. Next, if you are not prescribed any medications yet, have a meal plan and follow it. You need to consume timely meals in order to prevent the elevation of diabetes. Never skip your meals or medicine. What happens when you skip your meal is that you tend to overeat, which is not the right way to go about in your condition.

For a diabetic patient, it is important to consume small meals frequently. Finally, be active. A sedentary lifestyle is not good for someone with diabetes. Exercise regularly and do your household chores as much as you can. If you have a job where you are required to sit for long durations, make sure you get up, stretch and take breaks in between. If you use insulin, exercise before you eat. Always test your blood sugar levels both before and after your meals and avoid exercising before your sleep.
