Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Without proper management, it can lead to severe complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, vision problems, and nerve damage. At Dudi Hospital, our specialists are dedicated to offering personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. We focus on managing blood sugar levels, preventing complications, and improving overall quality of life.
Our approach combines medical expertise with lifestyle guidance, empowering patients to take control of their condition with confidence. Whether you have been recently diagnosed or are seeking better management of your diabetes, we are here to provide comprehensive, compassionate care.
An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart to detect arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other heart conditions. It's a simple, non-invasive test that provides valuable information about your heart’s health.
A stress test evaluates how the heart performs under physical stress. Patients either exercise or take medications that increase the heart rate while their heart’s function is monitored through ECG and other measurements.
This ultrasound imaging technique provides detailed pictures of the heart’s structure and function. It helps assess heart valves, chamber sizes, and overall heart performance.
Managing diabetes often requires medication to control blood sugar levels effectively. Depending on the type of diabetes, treatments may include:
Insulin Therapy: For patients with Type 1 diabetes and some with Type 2, insulin injections or pumps may be necessary to regulate blood glucose levels.
Oral Medications:For Type 2 diabetes, medications like Metformin, sulfonylureas, and DPP-4 inhibitors are commonly prescribed to help the body use insulin more effectively.
Our diabetes care team works closely with patients to develop sustainable lifestyle habits that promote long-term health. This includes:.
Dietary Advice: Personalized nutrition plans that focus on carbohydrate control, healthy eating, and portion sizes.
Exercise Routines: Regular physical activity helps the body use insulin more efficiently and reduces blood sugar levels. We offer tailored exercise recommendations based on each patient’s fitness level and health status.
Weight Management:Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for controlling Type 2 diabetes. Our team provides strategies for safe and effective weight loss, which can help reduce insulin resistance.
Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential for diabetes management. We provide:
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM):A device that tracks blood glucose levels in real-time, helping patients and doctors adjust treatment plans as needed. CGM provides a comprehensive view of blood sugar patterns, alerting patients to highs and lows throughout the day.
Traditional Glucose Monitoring: Finger-stick blood sugar tests are also available, allowing patients to monitor their glucose levels multiple times a day.
Diabetes can lead to various complications if not properly managed. At Dudi Hospital, we offer screening, early detection, and treatment for common diabetes-related complications, including:
Diabetic Neuropathy:Nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels, leading to numbness, pain, or weakness, especially in the hands and feet.
Diabetic Retinopathy:Damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, which can lead to vision problems or blindness if left untreated.
Kidney Disease:Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney damage. Regular screening helps detect early signs of kidney issues, allowing for prompt intervention.
Managing diabetes requires a lifelong commitment to monitoring, medication, and lifestyle changes. At Dudi Hospital, we believe in empowering patients with the knowledge they need to manage their condition effectively.
