Diabetes (Sugar Disease)
Control Diabetes, Live a Healthy Life
Diabetes is a disease that develops as a result of uncontrolled high blood sugar levels. When the body does not produce enough insulin or develops resistance to insulin, it becomes difficult for sugar to pass into cells, which leads to increased blood sugar. Ento Surgical Medical Center's Internal Medicine department offers a wide range of services from early diagnosis to treatment of diabetes. With our personalized treatment approaches, we aim to manage your health in the best way possible.
Types of Diabetes and Our Treatment Approach:
- Type 1 Diabetes: It develops as a result of the pancreas not producing insulin due to genetic predisposition and immune system problems. This type of diabetes, diagnosed at an early age, is managed with insulin treatment.
- Type 2 Diabetes: This is a type of diabetes that is usually seen in adults and has increased insulin resistance. Blood sugar can be controlled with lifestyle changes, diet and medication.
- Gestational Diabetes: It occurs during pregnancy and may be temporary after birth, but carries a risk of diabetes in the future.
Treatment and Management:
In diabetes treatment, simply controlling blood sugar levels is not enough. In addition, other potential complications such as heart health, kidney function and eye health are also taken into consideration. As Ento Surgical Medical Center, we manage diabetes as follows:
- Diabetes education and monitoring: We educate our patients on blood sugar measurement and monitoring, medication therapy and insulin applications.
- Individualized nutrition plan: Proper nutrition is very important for diabetes control. Our expert dietitians support healthy living by preparing personalized nutrition programs.
- Exercise and lifestyle changes: Regular exercise plays an important role in controlling blood sugar levels. We help manage diabetes by increasing physical activity.
- Drug and insulin treatment: Depending on the type of diabetes, our specialist physicians plan the necessary drug and insulin treatments.
Prevention of Complications:
Diabetes, if left uncontrolled, can lead to serious complications such as kidney disease, heart disease, eye problems and nerve damage. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes is very important to prevent complications.
