Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body processes blood sugar (glucose). When diabetes is uncontrolled, it means that blood sugar levels are persistently elevated, leading to a range of health problems. Uncontrolled diabetes can result from inadequate treatment, poor lifestyle choices, or other underlying factors. Early intervention and innovative treatments, such as stem cell therapy, can help stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent complications.

The symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes can vary but often include:

Frequent urination: Increased need to urinate, especially at night.
Excessive thirst: Constant feeling of thirst despite drinking fluids.

Fatigue: Persistent tiredness or lack of energy.
Blurred vision: Difficulty focusing or seeing clearly.
Slow-healing wounds: Cuts or sores that take longer to heal.
Unexplained weight loss: Losing weight without trying.
Numbness or tingling: In the hands or feet (diabetic neuropathy).
Recurrent infections: Such as urinary tract infections or skin infections.

Uncontrolled diabetes can result from various factors, including:

Inadequate medication:

Incorrect dosage or type of diabetes medication.
Poor adherence to prescribed treatment.

Poor diet:

Consuming excessive sugary or high-carbohydrate foods.
Lack of a balanced diet rich in fiber and nutrients.

Lack of exercise:

Sedentary lifestyle contributing to insulin resistance.

Stress or illness:

Physical or emotional stress can raise blood sugar levels.

Other medical conditions:

Hormonal imbalances or infections that affect blood sugar control.

Diagnosing uncontrolled diabetes involves a combination of tests and evaluations, including:

Blood sugar tests:

Fasting blood glucose: Measures blood sugar after an overnight fast.

HbA1c test: Provides an average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months.

Random blood glucose test:

Measures blood sugar at any time of the day.

Medical history:

Reviewing symptoms, treatment history, and lifestyle factors.

Physical examination:

Checking for signs of complications, such as neuropathy or infections.

Additional tests:

Urine tests: To check for ketones or protein (indicators of complications).

Lipid profile: To assess cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

The goal of treatment is to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Treatment options include:

Medications:

Insulin therapy: For type 1 diabetes or advanced type 2 diabetes.

Oral medications: Such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or DPP-4 inhibitors.

GLP-1 receptor agonists: To improve blood sugar control and promote weight loss.

Lifestyle changes:

Healthy diet: Focus on low-glycemic foods, fiber, and balanced meals.

Regular exercise: At least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week.

Weight management: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

Monitoring and follow-up:

Regular blood sugar monitoring to track progress.

Routine check-ups to adjust treatment as needed.

Innovative treatments:

Stem cell therapy: At Concord Stem Cell Limited, we are exploring the potential of stem cells to regenerate pancreatic cells, improve insulin production, and enhance blood sugar control. Stem cell therapy offers hope for managing diabetes and reducing the risk of complications.

Education and support:

Diabetes education programs to help patients manage their condition effectively.

Support groups for emotional and psychological well-being.
