Diabetes Care – Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Why is diabetes increasing at an alarming rate in the United States?
Diabetes is one of the most diagnosed diseases today. When left untreated or undiagnosed, it can cause many health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and even limb amputation.
❓ How can your doctors help me if I am diagnosed with diabetes?
Our doctors work closely with you to create a personalized care plan. This includes monitoring your glucose levels, developing a diet and exercise plan, and helping you maintain your HbA1c below 9.
❓ What happens if my A1c is greater than 9?
An A1c higher than 9 can increase the risk of hospitalization or ER visits. Regular follow-ups with your Primary Care Physician (PCP) or an Endocrine specialist can significantly improve diabetes control.
❓ What are the main types of diabetes?
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2.
❓ What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It usually develops suddenly and requires lifelong insulin injections.
❓ What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes develops gradually, often due to obesity and lack of exercise. The pancreas produces less insulin, and the body becomes resistant to it. It affects 1 in 10 people in the US and is mostly managed with oral pills, healthy eating, weight loss, and exercise.
❓ Can Type 2 Diabetes be cured?
There is no permanent cure for Type 2 diabetes, but it can be managed very well with medications and lifestyle changes. Many people successfully control their condition with proper care.
