- Diagnosis: Blood tests like fasting glucose and HbA1c levels help confirm diagnosis by measuring sugar control over time.
- Treatment & management: Managing diabetes usually involves dietary changes focusing on balanced meals with low glycemic index foods, regular exercise, oral medications or insulin therapy as needed.
- What to expect: With proper adherence to treatment protocols and monitoring complications regularly through healthcare providers, many people live healthy lives despite diabetes.
Lifestyle adaptation combined with medical guidance plays a vital role in controlling this lifelong condition effectively.
HYPERTENSION MANAGEMENT
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high. It often develops gradually over years and may not cause noticeable symptoms initially.
- Symptoms & causes: Often called the 'silent killer,' hypertension typically shows no symptoms but can lead to headaches or dizziness in severe cases. Causes include genetic factors, obesity, poor diet, stress, and lack of exercise.
