Frequently Asked Questions

Diabetology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes and its related complications.

A diabetologist specializes in managing all types of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes, and helps prevent complications through medication, diet, and lifestyle management.

Frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds are common symptoms of diabetes.

Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively. Genetics, obesity, an unhealthy diet, and a sedentary lifestyle are major risk factors.

You may be at higher risk if you have a family history of diabetes, are overweight, have high blood pressure or cholesterol, lead a sedentary lifestyle, or are over 40 years of age. Regular screening helps in early detection.

Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests such as fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and oral glucose tolerance tests.

Currently, diabetes cannot be cured, but it can be effectively controlled with proper medication, diet, regular exercise, and medical supervision.

The frequency depends on the type of diabetes and your treatment plan. Your doctor will recommend whether to check daily, weekly, or at specific intervals.

If left uncontrolled, diabetes can lead to heart disease, kidney failure, vision loss, nerve damage, and foot problems.

Prediabetes means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Lifestyle changes can help reverse it.

Avoid sugary drinks, sweets, white bread, refined carbohydrates, fried foods, and high-fat processed snacks. Choose fiber-rich, low-glycemic foods instead.

Insulin helps control blood sugar by allowing glucose to enter the body’s cells. It is essential for people with Type 1 diabetes and sometimes needed for Type 2 diabetes.

Maintain a healthy weight, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, avoid smoking and alcohol, and have regular health check-ups.
