Our diabetes management service involves the provision of personalized, comprehensive care for people with diabetes through remote monitoring, consultation, and support from our  healthcare professionals. This involves the use of technology and data analytics to collect and analyze information about a patient’s blood glucose levels, physical activity, diet, and medication use.

Our main goal of this service is to help patients achieve optimal glycemic control, reduce the risk of complications, and improve their quality of life. We provides patients with continuous access to healthcare professionals, who can offer advice and support as needed. This approach can help patients avoid hospitalizations, reduce healthcare costs, and improve outcomes.

This service would typically involve a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including endocrinologists, diabetes educators, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists. Patients receive individualized care plans, which may include self-monitoring of blood glucose, medication adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and regular check-ins with their healthcare team.

We are offering a convenient and effective way for people with diabetes to receive high-quality care and support, while also empowering them to take an active role in their own health.

Questions & Answers

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes glucose, which is a type of sugar that serves as your body’s main source of energy. Diabetes occurs when your body can’t produce enough insulin or can’t use insulin effectively, leading to high levels of glucose in your bloodstream.

What are the different types of diabetes?

There are three main types of diabetes:

  • Type 1 – Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
  • Type 2 – Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough insulin to keep your blood sugar levels in a healthy range.
  • Gestational –  Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after the baby is born.

What are the symptoms of diabetes?

The symptoms of diabetes can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. Common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, blurry vision, slow healing wounds, and unexplained weight loss.

How is diabetes diagnosed?

Diabetes is typically diagnosed through blood tests that measure your blood glucose levels. Your doctor may also perform additional tests to determine the type and severity of your diabetes.

How is diabetes treated?

The treatment for diabetes depends on the type and severity of the condition. In general, treatment options include lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, oral medications or insulin injections, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels.

Can diabetes be prevented?

Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, but type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes can often be prevented or delayed through lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and getting regular exercise.
