DIABETIC CLINIC
My Doctor Erina is your trusted diabetes centre in NSW. We have been providing patients with proper diabetes management and patient-focused counselling services. Through the help of our highly skilled and well-trained experts, you will be able to know the nature and complications of diabetes as well as the ways to monitor it.
Understanding Diabetes
Understanding diabetes means having an overview of how your body processes sugar. In brief, the tiny cells in our body need energy or fuel, such as carbohydrates. Through the process of digestion, carbohydrates break down and form glucose to provide energy or fuel. If you have more glucose than you need, however, there is a chance that you will develop diabetes.
There are three types of diabetes: 1. Type 1 Diabetes, the one that is usually found in childhood; 2. Type 2 Diabetes, the most common form of diabetes among adults; and 3. Gestational Diabetes, the one that occurs during pregnancy.
Leaving diabetes untreated will do no good to your body, particularly the heart and vascular system. People with diabetes are more likely to have a heart disease or suffer a stroke than those who do not have diabetes. Studies show that this risk is even greater for women with diabetes.
If you do not do something to treat your diabetes, it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, dental disease, amputations, blindness, and other serious health complications. Take note, the longer you endure high levels of blood glucose travelling around your body, the more likely you are to experience health problems.
To prevent yourself from developing diabetes or other health conditions caused by diabetes, visit Erina Medical Centre for a regular check-up.
