Our Diabetes Management Services
Type 1 Diabetes Care
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Managing Type 1 diabetes involves a combination of insulin therapy, regular blood glucose monitoring, and lifestyle adjustments.
Our Type 1 Diabetes Care Includes:
- Insulin Therapy: We provide personalized insulin plans, including basal-bolus regimens and insulin pump therapy, to ensure optimal blood sugar control.
- Blood Glucose Monitoring: Regular monitoring is essential. We offer guidance on using glucose meters and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) for real-time blood sugar data.
- Education and Support: Our team educates patients on carbohydrate counting, insulin dose adjustment, and managing hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
- Regular Check-ups: Frequent consultations to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans, and address any concerns.
Type 2 Diabetes Care
Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels. Effective management focuses on lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring.
Our Type 2 Diabetes Care Includes:
- Medication Management: We prescribe and manage medications, including oral hypoglycemics and injectable medications like GLP-1 agonists and insulin.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Personalized plans for diet, physical activity, and weight management to help control blood sugar levels.
