Diabetes Treatment management

Diabetes treatment may include changing patient lifestyle that may include carefully managing diet, exercising, taking oral diabetes medication, using some form of insulin, maintaining proper circulation in extremities and may be further complicated by other external factors such as stress, illness, menses, injection site scarring, and other physiological factors unique to individual patients.

However, diabetes treatment may differ due to its types:

• Type 1 Diabetes treatment
  For diabetes type 1, the usual treatment is with insulin replacement therapy—usually by insulin injection or insulin pump, along with attention to dietary management, typically including carbohydrate tracking, and careful monitoring of blood glucose levels using glucose meters. But if the patient condition is worsening from diabetes, a pancreas transplant can restore proper glucose regulation.
• Type 2 Diabetes treatment
  Type 2 diabetes is usually first treated by increasing physical activity, and eliminating saturated fat and reducing sugar and carbohydrate intake with a goal of losing weight. Testosterone replacement therapy may improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in diabetic hypogonadal men.

There is also other diabetes treatment management that in research:

1. Encapsulation approach
2. Islet cell regeneration
3. Stem cells
4. Gene therapy
