Diabetes Type 1 & 2 Management

Service Description

Diabetes Type 1 & Type 2 Management at Nova Aesthetic Clinic Managing Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes requires a comprehensive, personalized approach that combines lifestyle adjustments, regular monitoring, and medical treatment. At Nova Aesthetic Clinic, we provide expert care to help patients control blood sugar levels, prevent complications, and maintain a healthy, active life. 🌿 Type 1 Diabetes Management Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin, making daily insulin therapy essential for survival. Our treatment approach includes: Insulin Therapy: Basal-bolus regimens: Long-acting insulin for background needs, plus rapid-acting insulin with meals. Insulin pumps: Continuous insulin delivery with programmable mealtime doses. Rapid-acting insulin: Controls glucose spikes from meals (e.g., lispro, aspart). Long-acting insulin: Maintains stable insulin levels over 12–40+ hours (e.g., glargine, detemir). Monitoring: Frequent blood glucose checks, before meals, snacks, exercise, and bedtime. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices for real-time tracking and alerts. A1C tests to assess average glucose over 2–3 months, with ADA recommending a goal below 7%. 🌿 Type 2 Diabetes Management Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin effectively. Management focuses on lifestyle modifications, oral medications, and, if needed, insulin: Lifestyle Changes: Healthy eating: High-fiber foods, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; limit refined carbs, sugars, and unhealthy fats. Regular exercise: At least 150 minutes of aerobic activity weekly, plus strength training. Weight management: Even small weight loss can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. Medications: Metformin: Improves insulin usage and lowers liver glucose production. Sulfonylureas: Stimulate insulin production (e.g., glimepiride). GLP-1 receptor agonists: Improve insulin secretion post-meals. SGLT2 inhibitors: Remove excess sugar via urine. Insulin therapy may be added if medications and lifestyle changes are insufficient. 🌿 Common Management Practices For both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, we emphasize: Blood pressure and cholesterol management to reduce heart disease risk. Eye and foot care to detect early signs of nerve or vessel damage. Regular check-ups and vaccinations to monitor health and prevent infections. Stress management through relaxation techniques, sleep, and physical activity. Emot
