Treatment

Diabetes does not have a cure, but it is treatable. With the proper treatment plan, you can reduce or even prevent the complications related to diabetes. Common treatments for diabetes include insulin injections, oral medications, diet and exercise. Work closely with your healthcare team to create the best treatment plan for you. In addition, you should realise that you will have good and bad phases during which you can will deal better or worse with having the condition – this is a normal reaction.

Over time, high blood glucose can cause health problems. Diabetes has been linked to:

  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Strokes
  • Kidney disease
  • Nerve damage
  • Digestive problems
  • Eye disease
  • Tooth and gum problems
  • Foot problems
  • Skin problems
  • Sexual health problems

You can help prevent health problems by keeping your blood glucose levels on target through regular monitoring.

Choosing foods wisely and staying physically active are the first step. If you can't reach your target blood glucose levels with diet and physical activity, your healthcare professional may prescribe diabetes medicines. The medicine type will depend on your type of diabetes, your way of life and your other health conditions.

Insulin Pumps

Insulin pumps provide insulin to your body 24 hours a day. A basal, or background, rate is delivered automatically based on your total daily insulin requirements. You can also give yourself a bolus insulin dose to cover the food you eat, as well as supplemental doses to correct your blood sugar when it is out of range. Your healthcare professional will help you determine your rates and dosages.

Under the care of a healthcare professional, insulin pump users can go to school or work, sleep and even play sports with the pump. At night, it can be clipped to sleepwear, a blanket or tucked under your pillow.

Insulin pump users can take their pumps off to swim, bathe or shower or to participate in physical activity. If the pump is off the body for less than an hour, simply test your blood sugar when you reconnect and take the necessary steps outlined by your healthcare team. Check with your healthcare professional if you must be disconnected for more than an hour.
