Doctor's Orders: How I treat Type 2 diabetes — via healthing_ca SHNcares DiabetesCanada healthing prediabetes hypoglycemia
General treatment is multi-faceted. It’s a combination of a healthy lifestyle, so diet or particular food choices, exercise or activity as well as medication. For people with Type 2 diabetes, this can be oral therapy, injectables or it could be a combination of both.
Diabetes is one of those conditions where oftentimes there needs to be multidisciplinary expert involvement. So you’ve got your health-care provider, but you may also be connected to a diabetic clinic along with a nurse and a dietitian. But the main player in all of this is the patient themselves. While diabetes is a chronic condition that requires continued interval followups with your health-care provider and your health team, the day-to-day management is really up to the individual.
Dr. Christine Ibrahim is an endocrinologist at Scarborough Rouge Hospital in Scarborough, Ont. SUPPLIED We’re trying to move toward not just patient education, but also to a model where the patient can do their own critical appraisal and reflect on these decisions and say, ‘OK, what do I need to do differently?’ The beauty of this is that with the advent of technology and the way the field of diabetes management is growing, we’ve got devices like continuous glucose monitors which can tell you your blood sugar at any point in time. You can use those to make clinical decisions.
