Service Details
Types of Diabetes
Our
healthcare professionals understand that your busy lives can sometimes distract
you from prioritizing your health. Our holistic approach with other specialty
experts partners with you in ensuring that diabetes is under control. There are
three common types of diabetes we treat at A4 Hospital. They are:
Type 1 Diabetes
Type
1 diabetes is a long-lasting and autoimmune medical condition. Individuals with
type 1 diabetes cannot produce enough insulin in their body. Hence, they tend
to take insulin shots every day. Also, they need to monitor their blood sugar
levels daily. This type of diabetes can affect both adults and children at any
age.
- Monitoring Type 1
Diabetes
Regular
monitoring of blood sugar levels in type 1 diabetes patients helps our experts
with modifying the treatment plans.
The
major factor to control type 1 diabetes is by regularly monitoring the
patient’s blood sugar level. The experts at A4 Hospital deliver the treatment
for diabetes with the latest technologies to reduce the difficulties. Our
multidisciplinary team maintains the glucose levels in patients through insulin
shots, insulin pens, insulin basal or insulin pumps.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type
2 diabetes is a long-lasting medical condition. Individuals with type 2
diabetes have a condition that causes the sugar levels in the blood to
increase. Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious health problems related to the
heart and kidney, and sometimes can even cause stroke.
- Monitoring Type 2
Diabetes
A
healthy diet and weight loss management are crucial in controlling type 2
diabetes. The diabetology experts at A4 Hospital can help you with your journey
in controlling diabetes. When it comes to weight loss management, it can be
truly daunting. Our experts in diet and nutrition will help you with
personalized nutritional advice and support to help our patients with reversing
their sugar levels in blood to the normal range.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational
diabetes is another type of diabetes that is developed in women only during
pregnancy. It usually disappears after delivery.
- Monitoring
Gestational Diabetes
During
pregnancy, monitoring the expectant mother’s blood sugar level is a key factor.
Our diabetology specialists may suggest diagnosing your unborn baby’s growth
with regular ultrasounds and diagnosis. If the pregnant woman doesn’t deliver
the baby by the due date, our multidisciplinary experts will suggest inducing
labour, because delivering the baby after the due date may cause serious
complications to both the mother and the baby. Our team of experts will also
provide support and care post-delivery to the women by diagnosing and
prescribing to maintain their blood sugar levels.

life.
