November is the World Diabetes Month. And as a primary care provider, there is no day that passes by that I don't see at least 2 patients who are living with diabetes. This is why it is important for me to talk about it so that everybody can learn about diabetes and how to prevent it or how to manage it if you're living with diabetes. Diabetes or sugar disease is a chronic disease that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or does not effectively use the insulin it produces to regulate blood sugar that the cells need to function. It can be very dangerous to your health because when not controlled, it can lead to blindness, stroke, heart attack, kidney failures, toes or leg amputation. According to the World Health Organization, there were 830 million people with diabetes worldwide in 2022, and half of these people were not taking medication. There are two types of diabetes, which are type 1 diabetes where the pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin have been destroyed, leading to lack of insulin. Then there is type 2 diabetes, which is due to variable degree of insulin resistance and deficiency. It is the most common type of diabetes in adults. #worlddiabetesmonth #diabetes #diabetesawareness #diabetesawarenessmonth #highbloodsugar #diabetesmellitus #sugardisease #fypage #fyp #highlights #followers #hemoglobina1c #fastingbloodsugar #bloodsugar #bloodglucose #diabetesrisk

Even though Type 2 Diabetes is most often preventable, and for some people even reversible, most patients do not even get the most basic counseling to help them. 😢 In fact, according to the CDC, it is estimated that more than 80% of Americans with prediabetes don’t even know that they have it. 😭 And without this basic knowledge, how can they be expected to prevent developing type 2 diabetes?   Not only that, but even when prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are diagnosed, traditionally people are just prescribed medications to just MANAGE their blood sugars, rather than addressing the root cause of insulin resistance, with the goal of type 2 diabetes PREVENTION and REVERSAL, which we know may be possible!   We can do so much better!!!!
