Clinical Management of Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood due to the body's inability to produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that regulates glucose uptake and utilization by cells. Proper management of diabetes is essential to prevent complications, such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney disease. The clinical management of diabetes involves several aspects, including lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, monitoring of blood glucose levels, and regular check-ups with healthcare providers.
