Diabetes mellitus is a condition caused by a relative lack of insulin secretion to meet the body\u2019s demands. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, facilitates the entry of glucose from the bloodstream into cells. Without adequate insulin, two significant issues can arise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Type 1 DM<\/strong> is caused by autoantibodies (antibodies that attack its own body) produced by the immune system attacking beta cells. The triggering event could be a viral infection but mostly unknown with genetic predisposition for autoimmune diseases. Very often the presentation is sudden as DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) and commonly in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Type 2 DM <\/strong>is most a commonly a metabolic disease due to sedentary life style and excessive calories intake causing progressive weight gain. Leaner patients may have a stronger family history of DM with poorer insulin production and earlier age of onset in adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The success of DM control lies in appropriate choice of medications and self-management (dietary control, monitoring and compliance with medications).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ongoing monitoring is essential for effective diabetes management. Key investigations during follow-ups include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Annual assessments include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our clinic offers a comprehensive range of treatment options for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Injectables in the management of DM<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ultimate treatment for severe DM (Type 1 and Insulin requiring Type 2) is a close-loop insulin pump which represents an artificial pancreas. It requires 24-hour glucose monitoring as input for appropriate amount of insulin release from the insulin pump. Newer insulin pod systems are being developed which can use 3rd<\/sup> party 24-H glucose monitoring such as Dexcom as input to determine insulin release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our clinic has decades of experience in managing insulin pumps and we are capable of guiding patients in harvesting this ever evolving technology in management of severe diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our clinic is dedicated to providing personalized, evidence-based care for diabetes management. With state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and a wide range of treatment options, we ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. Take control of your diabetes and achieve better health with our expert guidance and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Diabetes mellitus is a condition caused by a relative lack of insulin secretion to meet the body\u2019s demands.
