What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition in which the body is unable to regulate blood sugar (glucose) effectively. This may occur because the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin efficiently. Over time, uncontrolled diabetes can affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to reduce the risk of complications.

Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes

An autoimmune condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. It usually requires lifelong insulin therapy.

Type 2 Diabetes

The most common form of diabetes, often associated with excess weight, family history, aging, or physical inactivity. It can often be managed with lifestyle changes, oral medications, injectable therapies, and insulin when needed.

Prediabetes

A condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetes range. Lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk of progression to Type 2 Diabetes.

Gestational Diabetes

Diabetes that develops during pregnancy and requires careful monitoring to protect the health of both the mother and baby.

Common Symptoms of Diabetes

Frequent urination
Increased thirst
Increased hunger
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
Blurred vision
Slow-healing wounds
Frequent skin or urinary infections
Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet

Who is at Risk?

You may be at higher risk if you have:

Family history of diabetes
Overweight or obesity
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Physical inactivity
Previous gestational diabetes
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Age over 35 years (risk generally increases with age)

Why Early Diagnosis Matters

Many people with Type 2 Diabetes have no symptoms in the early stages. Regular screening can help detect diabetes before complications develop. Early diagnosis and timely treatment reduce the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, vision loss, nerve damage, and other long-term complications.

How is Diabetes Diagnosed?

Diabetes may be diagnosed using one or more of the following tests:

Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)
Postprandial Blood Sugar (PPBS)
HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)
Random Blood Sugar (when appropriate)
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) in selected situations

Why Should People with Diabetes Get Their Heart Checked?

People with diabetes have a significantly higher risk of developing heart disease, often without obvious symptoms. Regular cardiovascular evaluation helps detect problems early and supports timely treatment. Depending on your age, symptoms, and overall risk profile, your doctor may recommend tests such as an ECG, 2D Echo, or TMT. At Navjeevan Heart and Diabetes Clinic, our integrated approach allows coordinated care for both diabetes and heart health under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can diabetes be cured?

Type 1 Diabetes cannot currently be cured. Type 2 Diabetes can often be well controlled, and some people may achieve remission through sustained weight loss and lifestyle changes, under medical supervision.

How often should I check my HbA1c?

Most people should have an HbA1c test approximately every 3 months, though your doctor may recommend a different schedule depending on your diabetes control.

Can diabetes affect the heart?

Yes. Diabetes increases the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. Good blood sugar control and regular cardiovascular assessment help reduce these risks.

Can I eat sweets if I have diabetes?

Occasional sweets may be included in some meal plans, but portion size and overall dietary balance are important. Follow your doctor's or dietitian's advice.

Will I need insulin?

Not everyone with diabetes requires insulin. The choice of treatment depends on the type of diabetes, blood sugar levels, and individual clinical needs.
