Type 2 diabetes treatment
Treatment includes several measures to regulate blood glucose levels.
1.Improving the quality of life. It includes a proper diet, physical activity, and weight loss in obese patients.
2.If necessary, the use of antidiabetic drugs / antidiabetic pills or insulin therapy /.
An individual approach should be applied to each patient. For example, obese patients need weight loss, up to and including surgical intervention / bariatric surgery of the stomach /.
Untreated or poorly untreated diabetes can cause premature complications. As a result of damage to the small and large blood vessels of the body, cardiovascular, renal, and ophthalmological diseases develop. Long-term high blood glucose leads to nerve damage. It manifests itself in pain, numbness, or sometimes ulcers in the upper and lower extremities / diabetic foot /.
Based on my practice, I can say that the correct treatment of type 2 diabetes prevents the early development of complications; It is very important to choose the right antidiabetic treatment, the right diet, physical activity, as well as avoiding alcohol and tobacco.
Before the manifestation of type 2 diabetes, there is a condition called prediabetes. The detection of this stage is very important, because as a result of the necessary preventive measures, it is possible to extend the period of transition from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes.
Preventive measures are the individual selection of diet, physical activity, taking into account the health problems of each patient.
If you have the above complaints, or a hereditary predisposition, then seek advice from an
endocrinologist.
