Diabetes Management

When a family member or friend is diagnosed with diabetes, a three-worded phrase quickly becomes part of everyday conversation: that is, ‘blood sugar levels’ – or ‘blood glucose levels’.

One of the more common complications of diabetes is retinopathy.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a very dangerous condition in which consistently high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) cause toxic compounds (called ketones) to build up in your blood and urine.

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes have high blood sugars in the morning for no apparent reason? You might be suffering from something called “the dawn phenomenon.”

There have been certain landmark diabetes trials that are so important and ground breaking, they have changed the way we treat diabetes.

High blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) can be very harmful for people with diabetes, especially when they remain elevated for long periods of time.

Diabetes can damage the nerves throughout your body leading to a condition called diabetic neuropathy. Left untreated, diabetic neuropathy can be painful, and can also pave the way to some serious health complications.
