Diabetes

Chronic Hyperglycemia Diagnosis.
Diabetes is a chronic disease defined by the presence of persistent hyperglycemia. It develops when the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. As a result, glucose accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia).

What is diabetes

Diabetes is broadly classified into two main types:

  •  Type 1 diabetes (formerly called insulin‑dependent or juvenile diabetes) is characterized by an absolute deficiency of insulin production.
  • Type 2 diabetes (previously known as non‑insulin‑dependent or adult‑onset diabetes) results from the body’s ineffective use of insulin. It is frequently associated with excess body weight and physical inactivity.

In addition, gestational diabetes (GDM) refers to elevated blood glucose levels first detected during pregnancy.

People living with diabetes face a higher risk of developing serious health complications. Persistently elevated blood glucose can lead to long‑term and potentially irreversible damage to the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and oral health. Individuals with diabetes are also more susceptible to infections.

Overall, diabetes is a major cause of cardiovascular disease, vision loss, kidney failure, and lower‑limb amputation.

589 million adults (20-79 years) are living with diabetes – 1 in 9. This number is predicted to rise to 853 million by 2050

Diabetes is a major cause of early illness and death worldwide, and its prevalence continues to rise.

How to diagnose

  • Step 1: Take an appointment

    This is achieved by measuring the concentration of the glucose by different analytical tests: mainly FPG (Fasting Plasma Glucose) and OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance test)

  • Step 2: do a test
