[Audio] ->- Diabetes is a medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide and can cause devastating health effects if not managed correctly. In this certificate course, we will give an overview of diabetes, its definition, and classification. Diabetes is a complex and chronic medical condition characterized by abnormal blood glucose (sugar) levels, which results from a deficiency in insulin production, impaired insulin action, or a combination of both. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood glucose levels and allows cells to use glucose for energy. There are several types of diabetes, with the two main ones being Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to a lack of insulin production that requires insulin injections or an insulin pump to survive. T1D often develops early in life, but it can occur at any age..

[Audio] ->At this point in our presentation on the Certificate Course on Diabetes Management, we will take a look at Type 2 Diabetes, which makes up 90-95% of all diabetes cases. This form of diabetes typically develops in adults, but is increasingly being seen in younger people due to lifestyle factors. With Type 2 Diabetes, the body may produce insulin, but cells become resistant to its effects, resulting in high blood glucose levels. Risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes include, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, genetics, age and certain ethnicities..

Advocating for self-care and staying on top of the recommended medical routines can lead to a better quality of life when managing diabetes..

[Audio] Diagnosis of diabetes can be made through blood tests like fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test and HbA1c. Proper management of blood glucose is essential to reduce the risk of complications. To achieve success in management, making lifestyle modifications such as eating a healthy diet, exercising and managing weight is important. People with Type 2 diabetes may need to take oral medications or injectable therapies to control their blood glucose levels..

[Audio] Diabetes is a serious health issue that can be complex to manage. Insulin therapy, continuous glucose monitoring, and regular medical check-ups are integral parts of managing diabetes optimally. Additionally, teaching patients how to adjust their treatment plan based on their blood sugar levels is key to successful diabetes management..

[Audio] CGM devices, continuing education, and regular visits to a healthcare provider to adjust medications and detect potential complications are essential for successful diabetes management. Thank you for your attention..
