What is Diabetes Mellitus?

Get to know what is Diabetes mellitus, types, causes and symptoms from Best Internal medicine specialist - Dr. G M Prasad at the best diabetes hospital in Bangalore -  Aster CMI Hospital

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that occurs when the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels. It affects how your body turns food into energy. When the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin or when the body can’t effectively use the insulin it makes, glucose builds up in the blood, leading to high blood sugar levels. This is where timely diagnosis and proper medical guidance from a reputed Endocrinology & Diabetology Hospital in Bangalore become crucial for effective management and treatment.

There are mainly two types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells, while Type 2 diabetes occurs due to insulin resistance combined with an eventual lack of insulin production. Gestational diabetes can also occur during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth but may increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life. Consulting an experienced Endocrinologist and Diabetologist in Hebbal, Bangalore ensures accurate diagnosis, personalized care, and long-term management strategies tailored to each patient’s lifestyle and health condition.

Common symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds. If you experience any of these signs, it’s important to seek medical advice promptly. Early detection and continuous monitoring can prevent complications like heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems.

Dr. G M Prasad, one of the best internal medicine specialists at Aster CMI Hospital, emphasizes a holistic approach that includes lifestyle modification, dietary management, and medication adherence. With expert care and advanced facilities, patients receive comprehensive diabetes management that improves their quality of life.
