Diabetes Management at Rudray Hospital, Nikol, Ahmedabad
Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects the way your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When blood sugar rises, it signals the pancreas to release insulin. In people with diabetes, this process is impaired either due to lack of insulin production or the body’s inability to use it effectively.
Types of Diabetes
- Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells. Common in children and young adults.
- Type 2 Diabetes: A metabolic condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough. More common in adults, often linked to lifestyle.
- Gestational Diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy and usually resolves after delivery but increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes later.
- Pre-diabetes: Blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms of Diabetes
- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Extreme fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Unexplained weight loss
- Slow-healing wounds
- Numbness or tingling in hands or feet
- Frequent infections (urinary tract, skin, gums)
