Assessment of Regular Blood Sugar is the key in managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Maintaining a healthy blood glucose level of around 80-180 (mg/dL) helps to avoid conditions like vision loss, kidney problems and other heart diseases in the long run. The level of blood glucose may vary during or after the meals due to digestion process. Normal blood sugar test and A1C Test are the most common procedures to measure th blood glucose level.
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients are more prone to the development of plantar foot ulcers. Foot pressure analysis is more helpful to analyze the potential ulceration and plays a vital role in ulcer healing.
Creating a healthy diabetic diet plan paves the way to easy blood sugar control. Always try to include healthy carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, heart healthy fish and ‘Good fats’ (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats) to keep the blood glucose level in a safe range.
Diabetes may lead to vision-threatening conditions and it is necessary for every patient to have a regular yearly eye examination in order to minimize the risk.
Diabetes is a real threat to kidney functioning. High blood glucose damages the blood vessels in the kidneys, also leading to high blood pressure. Healthy lifestyle habits and right medications help people in managing diabetic kidney disease.
Nerve conduction studies are helpful in diagnosing diabetic neuropathy in pre-diabetic patients at its early stage. Identifying this particular condition can help you resolve nerve pain and protect your feel from small injuries.
Obesity is an important risk factor that may lead to type 2 diabetes. Be active by following physical exercise regularly to balance diabetes and weight loss. Daily physical activity minimizes the weight gain and reduces blood pressure and improves insulin sensitivity.
People with diabetes are at increased risk of Heart Disease!
Patients with insulin resistance i.e diabetes in combination with one or more of these risk factors are at even greater risk of cardiovascular disease. The high blood glucose generated in diabetic patients damages the oxygen supplying blood vessels controlling the heart. It damages the arteries and stiffens them and builds-up cholesterol in the blood vessels. The longer diabetes stays untreated, the greater the chances of cardiovascular disease, as it weakens the heart and forces it to pump harder than usual. An Interventional Cardiologist can help you manage the condition.
