Diabetes requires attention on both a physical and mental level. We strive to enhance your general well-being along with regulating blood sugar levels and safeguarding you from life-threatening illnesses linked to it.
Diabetes is of mainly 3 types.
- Type 1 Diabetes: Usually seen among children, it can develop at any stage in life. In this condition the pancreas stops or produces very little insulin. It can be managed by regular insulin shots to maintain proper glucose levels.
- Type 2 Diabetes: Occurs mostly in adulthood, where body becomes inefficient in synthesizing insulin. It is managed by proper diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. However, over time people might require oral medications and insulin shots.
- Gestational: Consistent high blood sugar levels among pregnant women which usually subsides after pregnancy. However its noted that such ladies are at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes at a later stage in life.
- Prediabetes: In Canada, 6 million adults have prediabetes. Many of them don’t know they have this condition. Individuals with prediabetes have blood sugar higher than normal levels, but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Prediabetes increases your risk for getting Type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart diseases. But this could be reversed or controlled. Accepting a CDC-recognized lifestyle change can help you take control of your health and also help in reversing this condition.
