Diabetes
High blood sugar getting you down?
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood, either due to the body's inability to produce sufficient insulin (Type 1) or its resistance to insulin (Type 2). Common symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst, excessive hunger, weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. Without proper management, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems.
Access Telehealth provides a convenient way to access healthcare providers for the management and treatment of diabetes. Through virtual consultations, you can receive personalized advice on medication, lifestyle adjustments, and monitoring strategies to control your blood sugar levels and maintain your health, all from the convenience of your home.
Precautions
- Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly as advised by your healthcare provider. Keeping track of your glucose levels can help you make informed decisions about your diet, activity, and management plan.
- Adopt a balanced diet rich in fiber and low in simple sugars and refined carbohydrates. Focus on whole foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Portion control can also help manage blood sugar levels.
- Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine. Exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity, which can lower blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, like walking or swimming, along with resistance training a couple of times a week.
Common Medications
- Metformin (Glucophage)
- Insulin (e.g., Humalog, Novolog, Lantus, Levemir)
- Sulfonylureas such as glipizide (Glucotrol) or glyburide (Diabeta, Micronase)
