FAQs

Q1: What is diabetes?
A: Diabetes is a chronic medical condition where the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin (Type 1) or can’t effectively use the insulin it produces (Type 2). This leads to elevated blood sugar levels, which can cause long-term damage to organs and tissues.


Q2: How is Type 1 diabetes different from Type 2?
A: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It often develops early in life. Type 2 diabetes is more common and is characterized by the body’s inability to use insulin effectively. It’s often associated with older age, obesity, family history, and physical inactivity.


Q3: Can diabetes be cured?
A: As of now, there’s no cure for diabetes. However, with proper management, including medication, diet, and lifestyle changes, most people with diabetes can lead a healthy life.


Q4: How often should I monitor my blood sugar?
A: The frequency depends on the type of diabetes and your treatment plan. Those on insulin might need to check multiple times a day, while others might do so less frequently. Your healthcare provider will give specific recommendations based on your situation.


Q5: What are the complications of unmanaged diabetes?
A: Chronic high blood sugar can lead to various complications, including kidney disease, nerve damage, vision problems, heart disease, stroke, and poor wound healing.


Q6: What foods should I avoid if I have diabetes?
A: It’s advisable to limit foods high in added sugars, saturated and trans fats, and salt. Examples include sugary beverages, fried foods, sweets, and certain processed foods. A dietician can provide a comprehensive list tailored to you.


Q7: How does exercise affect my blood sugar?
A: Exercise usually lowers blood sugar by increasing insulin sensitivity. However, in some cases, especially vigorous activity, it might temporarily raise blood sugar. Monitoring blood sugar before and after exercise helps you understand its effect on you.


Q8: Can I still drink alcohol if I have diabetes?
A: If consumed in moderation and with your doctor’s approval, some people with diabetes can still enjoy alcohol. It’s essential to monitor your blood sugar, as alcohol can affect its levels.


Q9: What is the role of a Diabetes Educator?
A: A Diabetes Educator is a professional who educates and supports individuals with diabetes to understand and manage the condition better. They provide training on blood sugar monitoring, medication management, nutrition, and more.


Q10: Is stress linked to diabetes?
A: Yes, stress can elevate blood sugar levels. Managing stress through techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, and physical activity can be beneficial for those with diabetes.


Q11: Can diabetes lead to mental health challenges?
A: Absolutely. Diabetes can be emotionally challenging, leading to feelings of frustration, depression, and anxiety. Seeking support from professionals or support groups can be beneficial.


Q12: How important is regular medical check-up in diabetes management?
A: Regular check-ups are crucial as they help track your blood sugar levels, monitor for complications, and adjust treatments as needed. They are an integral part of effective diabetes management.
