A Diabetologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes and related metabolic disorders.
You should consult a Diabetologist if you have high blood sugar levels, diabetes symptoms, uncontrolled diabetes, or diabetes-related complications.
Common symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds.
Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body produces little or no insulin, while Type 2 Diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not use it effectively.
While diabetes cannot usually be cured, it can be effectively managed through medication, lifestyle modifications, regular monitoring, and medical care.
Risk factors include obesity, family history, lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet, high blood pressure, and increasing age.
Regular follow-ups are important to monitor blood sugar levels, medications, and prevent complications. The frequency depends on individual health needs.
Common tests include Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), HbA1c, Random Blood Sugar (RBS), and Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).
