Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 50-year-old male who has been dealing with diabetes for the past five years. I am looking for guidance on lifestyle modifications to manage diabetes better. Can you provide information on the latest research or developments in diabetes management? Is there a cure for diabetes, and what are the most effective treatments available? Any advice on managing blood sugar levels through diet and lifestyle changes? Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Diabetes is a lifestyle disease that can be managed by lifestyle modification and weight management. Taking medication to control blood glucose is also very important. Daily exercise for half an hour and a strict diet avoiding oily, fried, sugary foods. Calorie-restricted diet helps in managing body weight and further managing blood glucose levels. Oral antidiabetic medication and insulin form an important part of diabetes management. Follow-up regularly with a doctor to check blood glucose level and change medication as per requirement.

I hope this helps.

Follow up in case of queries.

Thanks.
