Diabetes is a chronic health condition characterized by high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It occurs when the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that regulates the metabolism of glucose. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
Our diabetes center works with diabetics holistically, issues that arise can range from thryoid disorders, weight gain, diabetic nephropathy, high blood pressure and diabetic retinopathy. We believe that patients for patients with diabetes education is vital to ensure a safe and healthy lifestyle.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin.
This type of diabetes typically develops in childhood or adolescence and requires lifelong insulin therapy to manage low or high blood sugar levels.
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-onset diabetes, is the most common form of the disease. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. This type of diabetes typically develops in adulthood and is often linked to obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
Both types of diabetes require ongoing care and management to prevent complications and maintain good health. A diabetes clinic can provide a range of services to help individuals manage their diabetes, including education on diabetes management, blood sugar monitoring, and the management of diabetes-related complications.
Even though surgery is successful in more than 90% of patients, acquiring the condition again is possible. Particularly if physiotherapy and the recovery time is not adhered to.
