Temporary A temporary form of diabetes sometimes occurs in women who are pregnant, but its symptoms frequently disappear after the birth of the child. However, women who develop this form of diabetes are more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes later in life. Unfortunately, the signs of diabetes which also can include fatigue, slow healing wounds or bladder and other infections often go unrecognized until they re combined with one of the more serious complications of the disease. It is estimated that nearly one third of all persons with diabetes are unaware of it. This is a serious concern, since those with diabetes are more likely than others to suffer from certain other conditions, including cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure or nerve and tissue damage.
Today there are more options than ever before for treating diabetes.
Some people find that they can reduce or eliminate their symptoms completely with proper diet and exercise. Others help their bodies produce or use insulin better with the addition of medicines taken as pills. Those who cannot control diabetes through these measures may need daily insulin injections to help maintain healthy blood glucose levels. The proper treatment plan requires a willingness to learn about the disease and its therapies, as well as a close partnership with your physician. Alliance Primary Care offers several benefits for patients who want more information about controlling their diabetes.
