The Diabetes Program
Introduction
Welcome to Naab Road Surgical Center's Diabetes Program, dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment options for individuals with diabetes. Our team of experienced medical professionals is committed to helping patients effectively manage their condition, improve their quality of life, and prevent complications associated with diabetes.
About Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. It occurs when the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. There are several types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with type 1 diabetes require insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump to manage their blood sugar levels. Our Diabetes Program offers specialized treatment options tailored to the unique needs of individuals with type 1 diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and is often associated with poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Our Diabetes Program focuses on personalized treatment plans that include lifestyle modifications, medication management, and ongoing support to help patients effectively manage their type 2 diabetes.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and affects pregnant women who have never had diabetes before. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased demands during pregnancy. Our Diabetes Program offers specialized care for pregnant women with gestational diabetes to ensure a healthy pregnancy and proper management of blood sugar levels.
