Answers to your HBA1c/diabetes test questions
If I have diabetes, can I receive treatment?
Receiving a diabetes diagnosis can be a very stressful ordeal. Fortunately, individuals diagnosed with the most common form of diabetes (type II diabetes) can typically achieve remission with diet, exercise and lifestyle change. Depending on the factors like age, complications from diabetes and insulin resistance, some individuals may need additional care (insulin, dialysis and/or wound care).
What is insulin , and what does it do?
Insulin allows the cells to absorb glucose that is in the blood. An over abundance of glucose in the blood can result in cells becoming resistant to insulin. Insulin resistance can result in your pancreas not producing enough insulin to meet demand, resulting in diabetes. Intravenous insulin can temporarily alleviate symptoms of diabetes.
