Navigating Diabetes: Your Trusted Partner at Kaade Hospital.

Introduction

Diabetes. The word itself can bring about a mix of emotions – concern, uncertainty, perhaps even a sense of being overwhelmed. If you or a loved one in Bengaluru are navigating the complexities of diabetes, know that you're not alone. At Kaade Hospital, conveniently located off Chord Road in Manjunath Nagar, we understand the unique challenges you face, and we're here to be your trusted partner in achieving optimal health and well-being.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Whether you've recently received a diagnosis of Type 1, Type 2, gestational diabetes, or are living with prediabetes, understanding the condition is the first crucial step towards effective management.

Understanding the Basics: Different Types of Diabetes

It's important to recognize that "diabetes" isn't a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. The main types include:

• Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. 1 People with Type 1 diabetes require daily insulin injections 2 to survive.

• Type 2 Diabetes : The most common type, where the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or becomes resistant to its effects. Lifestyle factors often play a significant role in its development.

• Gestational Diabetes: Diabetes that develops during pregnancy in women who didn't have diabetes before. While it usually resolves after childbirth, it increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life for both the mother and the baby

•Prediabetes: A condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2 diabetes. Making lifestyle changes at this stage can often prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
