Hello DiabetesDiabetes: “Genes are the loaded Guns….”The beta cells of the pancreas are responsible for producing insulin, a hormone essential for regulating blood sugar levels. When these beta cells become damaged, insulin production declines, leading to impaired glucose metabolism. As a result, glucose, which is needed for energy, accumulates instead of being properly utilized by the liver, adipose tissue, and muscles. Without sufficient insulin, blood sugar levels rise, potentially leading to diabetes.
Additionally, environmental factors such as obesity and stress contribute to the risk of diabetes. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can help safeguard against these issues. If you have a family history of...

Medications, and Monitoring, but this table is incomplete without a table top which is
“Education”.
Of these four pillars one of them is glucose monitoring which plays a critical role,
typically done through three methods:
1. Glucometers: Capillary blood glucose monitoring involves using a glucometer for precise
measurements, which can differ slightly from venous blood levels. Evert PWD’s should
learn Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG), this requires individuals to use a
glucometer at home for informed insulin dosage decisions.
2. HbA1c Monitoring: Measures long-term glucose levels, with a...

Thus, both need intensive management strategies simultaneously. People with Diabetes must take special care of themselves, just like we care for our family members. Diabetes can be thought of as a child with slightly lower immunity, especially during the rainy season when the risk of infections—whether bacterial, fungal, or viral—rises significantly. To manage diabetes effectively during any active infection Basal Bolus Insulin Therapy is one of the best treatment regimens. Basal insulin provides steady, consistent insulin whether food is consumed or not, w...
