Glycemic control is a medical strategy to prevent the risk of developing chronic complications in diabetic patients. This balancing act helps the patient to maintain a good glucose-insulin level. Doctors recommend that diabetic patients maintain euglycemic blood glucose levels, which require the patient to receive education, volition control, and strategies from a professional. At ASA HEALTHCARE, we provide glycemic control services to help diabetic patients improve glucose utilization and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Our glycemic control program aims to treat your diabetic condition by maintaining the blood sugar levels as near to normal as possible.
Who can benefit from our Glycemic Control?
People with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and pregnant women with gestational diabetes are more prone to develop hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Fortunately, various treatments are available for treating hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. At ASA HEALTHCARE, we treat hypoglycemia by giving a form of sugar to the patient through injection or mouth to help the patient maintain normal blood sugar levels.
We also evaluate the HbA1c test to monitor the blood sugar level before glycemic control. Hypoglycemia also alters mood, causing depression and anxiety in diabetic patients. Hence, diabetic patients require more than supportive care. Our team of talented professionals works to integrate other treatment plans, such as physical therapy, rehabilitation, and outpatient nursing care to help diabetic patients with different medical conditions.
What conditions do we aid in our glycemic control?
At ASA HEALTHCARE, we developed our glycemic control to help people with diabetes, a condition where the body cannot produce enough insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. However, people suffer from different types of diabetes, including:
- Type 1 diabetes
Doctors believe this type of diabetes to be an autoimmune condition, meaning that one’s immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. The major cause of this condition is probably genetic and environmental reasons.
- Type 2 diabetes
This diabetes type is caused due to insulin resistance. In this condition, a person’s body cannot use insulin efficiently, causing the pancreas to produce insulin in large quantities. The cause of type 2 diabetes may be obesity, genetics, or a sedentary lifestyle.
- Gestational diabetes
During pregnancy, the body produces insulin-blocking hormones, resulting in gestational diabetes. Women with gestational diabetes are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms of diabetic Conditions
People with diabetic conditions exhibit various symptoms that require proper medications. Here is a list of symptoms of a diabetic condition, including:
- excessive thirst and hunger
- frequent urination
- slow-healing wounds
- drowsiness or fatigue
- dry, itchy skin
- blurry vision
If you find any symptom from the above list bothering you or someone you know, get in touch with your healthcare provider to get medical help. Diabetic conditions can also lead to severe complications such as kidney damage, eye problem, miscarriage, and more. You can also receive our glycemic control service, which helps you keep fit and prevents you from developing chronic illness.
