Patients receiving management of type 2 diabetes at Manipal Hospitals can expect a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. The journey begins with a detailed evaluation of blood glucose levels, lifestyle habits, body weight, and existing health conditions. Doctors assess cardiovascular risk factors, kidney function, and other metabolic parameters to create a personalised treatment strategy.
Lifestyle modification is the cornerstone of care. Patients receive guidance on balanced nutrition, portion control, weight management, and regular physical activity. Structured dietary counselling helps maintain consistent blood sugar levels. Oral medications may be prescribed to stimulate insulin production or improve insulin sensitivity. In certain cases, insulin therapy may be recommended when blood glucose levels remain uncontrolled despite oral medications.
Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor HbA1c levels, adjust treatment, and screen for complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and kidney disease. Ongoing education, self-monitoring of blood glucose, and multidisciplinary support play a crucial role in achieving long-term glycaemic control and improving overall quality of life.
