Symptoms

What Is Diabetes Mellitus?

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that is incurable and influences your body in the way it operates sugar (glucose). Your blood sugar levels become too high when you have it because your body either produces insulin in insufficient amounts (Type 1), or it is unable to utilize insulin (Type 2).

Common Symptoms

Be on the lookout of such cautionary signs:

  • Frequent urination
  • Excessive thirst
  • Increased hunger
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Persistent fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Delayed healing of or images infections.

Causes

A number of things can put you at risk of having diabetes:

  • Family history of diabetes
  • Overweight or obesity
  • Physical inactivity
  • The destruction of insulin-producing cells (Type 1) is carried out by the immune system.
  • Psychological effects (gestational diabetes) on hormonal factors during pregnancy.
Treatment

Treatment Options for Diabetes Mellitus in Jersey Village

This can be treated by lifestyle and medication:

  • Weight management: A balanced diet plan and physical exercises should help a person lose 5-10% of body weight and enhance insulin sensitivity.
  • Healthy diet plan: Advance non-starchy vegetable foods, have low fat foods, whole grains, and have regulated carbohydrates to stabilize blood sugar.
  • 7-day meal plan: The meal plan is a weekly measure that enables you to create a regular practice of carb counting and positive eating.
  • Regular physical activity: Introducing moderate exercise at least 150 minutes per week helps reduce the level of glucose and improves the activity of insulin.
  • Blood glucose monitoring: In order to measure your levels of sugar, a home glucose monitor or continuous glucose monitor can be used to regulate treatment.
  • Oral medications: Metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, or other pills may be prescribed to help lower blood sugar.
  • Insulin therapy: There is a variety of fast-acting and long-acting, as well as mixed, insulin regimes, which can be designed to attain optimal glucose levels.
