Diabetes is a chronic disease that concerns the body’s ability to convert food into energy. When we consume food, most of it gets broken down into glucose and released into the blood for energy. As the sugar or glucose level goes up in the blood, our pancreas release insulin, which regulates the amount of blood sugar that the cells in our body get for energy.
In patients with diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use the insulin effectively.
Without enough insulin, an excess amount of sugar enters your bloodstream. The same happens when the body’s cells stop responding to insulin. The extra sugar then results in severe health issues ranging from heart disease to kidney failure and loss of vision.
While there is no cure developed yet for diabetes, it can be managed with the right lifestyle changes, maintaining proper weight and medications. At Manipal Hospitals, we help thousands of patients live better lives daily by assisting them in managing their diabetes.

The three common types of diabetes are:
Type 1 Diabetes
Most studies show that when the body attacks its immune system, it causes the body to stop making insulin resulting in type 1 diabetes. Prevalence of Type 1 diabetes is up to 10% of the total population with diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a disease with fast-spreading symptoms and needs an external insulin dose daily to survive. Type 1 diabetes is usually associated with younger people, seen mainly in children, teens and people below 30 years of age.
Type 2 Diabetes
When the body cannot utilise insulin and hence cannot control the blood sugar levels, it results in type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is in approximately 90% of people diagnosed with diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a disease accrued over time and impacts adults more than children. However, many researchers feel that the modern lifestyle and processed food also play a major role in increasing susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in children.
Right lifestyle changes and recommendations from medical experts can help manage type 2 diabetes.
Gestational Diabetes
Pregnant women who develop diabetes without having any pre-existing diabetes called gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes puts the newborn baby and the mother at health risk and increases the chances of type 2 diabetes later in life for both mother and baby.
Symptoms of Diabetes
The symptoms of diabetes are initially mild. However, a relevant test can help identify the disease early. Some common symptoms of diabetes are increased hunger and thirst, loss of weight, frequent urine passing, blurred vision, chronic fatigue and hard-to-heal sores.
Men report decreased sex drive, loss of strength and erectile dysfunction. At the same time, women report symptoms like Urinary Tract Infection and dry and itchy wounds.
Treatments of Diabetes
The medical experts at Manipal Hospital study every patient and prepare the proper treatment, including oral medicines or injections and life time recommendations.
Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes needs an external insulin dose to replace the hormone the body cannot produce. Insulin comes in four primary types depending upon the speed of action and how long they last.

Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes
Doctors at Manipal Hospitals help patients manage their type 2 diabetes with changes in their lifestyle, including diet and exercise as permitted by the gynecologists. If needed additionally, some medicines help to lower blood sugar.
Treatment for Gestational Diabetes
Pregnant mothers must observe their blood sugar levels throughout the day and manage them using diet and exercise. In some cases, doctors recommend insulin injections to reduce blood sugar levels.
