What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic health disorder that affects your body's ability to deal with sugar (glucose). Diabetes is a fairly common condition, impacting more than 10% of Americans. In most cases, when a person consumes sugar, their pancreas responds by releasing insulin, which is used by the body to convert that glucose into energy. However, for people with diabetes, their body either can't produce enough insulin or can't properly use it, allowing sugar to accumulate in the bloodstream and leading to potentially serious health complications, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney dysfunction, and vision problems. There is no treatment that can cure diabetes, but by taking steps to manage your condition, you can minimize your symptoms and elevate your quality of life. If you have diabetes (type 1, type 2, or gestational), we urge you to contact Vital Eagles Healthcare in Tampa, FL. With help from Dr. Paul Banerjee, you can control your health and prevent complications from diabetes.
How Do You Treat Diabetes?
If you think you might have diabetes but haven't been formally diagnosed, Dr. Banerjee will start by ordering a blood test to check for signs of health issues and identify which form of diabetes you might have. If we determine that you are diabetic, our team will create a personalized management plan to control your condition. For most patients, this plan will include diet and exercise guidelines, regular insulin injections, a weight loss program, and/or prescription medicine.
