Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body’s inability to produce enough insulin or effectively use insulin. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1, where the body does not produce insulin, and Type 2, where the body does not use insulin properly. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems.

Effective management of diabetes involves a combination of lifestyle changes, regular monitoring, and medication. Adopting a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight are crucial for controlling blood sugar levels. Medications, such as insulin or oral hypoglycemics, may be prescribed to help manage the condition. At Prime Care Hospital, our General Medicine team provides comprehensive care for diabetes, including personalized treatment plans, ongoing education, and support to help you manage your blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Regular check-ups and monitoring are essential to maintaining optimal health and enhancing your quality of life.
