Diabetes FAQs – Treatment & Management

At Low T Center, we know that if you have been diagnosed with diabetes or think you may have diabetes, you probably have a lot of questions. The diabetes FAQs below may help you get answers to some of those questions. However, we encourage you to ask us any questions related to your personalized treatment plan or for more in-depth answers to the questions below.

How do you treat diabetes?
Treatment for diabetes may vary depending on what type of diabetes you have and your overall health. If you have Type 2 diabetes, we usually recommend exercise and a nutritional plan to help manage your condition. If you have Type 1 diabetes, you will need to be treated with insulin. You might also require insulin or another medication to help you manage Type 2 diabetes, but at Low T Center, we try to reduce how much medication you need to control chronic conditions whenever possible.
How is diabetes diagnosed?
Testing for diabetes is done with a simple blood glucose test. This is part of the overall blood panel we will do as part of a men’s health assessment.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition in which your body cannot manage your blood sugar levels either because your pancreas is not making insulin or because your body is not using insulin correctly. This can cause a variety of symptoms, including unexplained weight gain or loss, frequent urination and fatigue.
What is the difference in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
If you have Type 1 diabetes, this means that your pancreas is not creating the insulin that you need to regulate your blood sugar levels. If you have Type 2 diabetes, then your body is not correctly using the insulin that your pancreas is producing. Type 2 diabetes may be managed with diet and exercise. With Type 1 diabetes, insulin is part of your treatment. Type 1 diabetes is associated with insulin dependency, but we are all dependent on insulin to manage our blood sugar. Insulin injections simply means you are getting the insulin from a different source.
Can diabetes be cured?
This is one of the most common diabetes FAQs. There is no cure for diabetes but depending on the type of diabetes you have and your overall health, it can be well-managed with treatment that may include a nutrition plan, exercise, medication or insulin.
What causes diabetes?
It is believed that the environment and genetics play a part in developing Type 1 diabetes. This may be true for Type 2 diabetes as well, but the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes may be increased by a poor diet, a lack of exercise or being overweight. However, you can also get Type 2 diabetes if you are not overweight.
If your questions are not answered by the diabetes FAQs above or if you have other questions, contact us at Low T Center. Make an online appointment today to get tested for diabetes as part of your overall health assessment. We’ll put together a personalized plan to optimize your health.
