Treatment for Type One Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes can be treated by supplying insulin externally to the body followed by regular monitoring of blood glucose level. Additional insulin can be supplied via subcutaneous injections or inhaled powder. Another effective way is to supply insulin via a pump which allows infusion of the hormone 24 hours a day along with an ability to program to supply an extra dose whenever required, especially after a meal.

Physical fitness of the person should also be maintained by regular exercises and also by following a controlled diet.

Treatment for Type Two Diabetes

The fundamental treatment that can be provided for a person diagnosed with Type II Diabetes is maintaining his physical fitness. This can be achieved through diet changes (by removing carbohydrate rich food) and exercises. By minimizing the abdominal fat deposits the body will be able to restore insulin insensitivity to a certain limit.

As a next step of treating Type Two Diabetes, antidiabetic drugs can be supplied. Medication may include drugs that will improve insulin production(eg. Sulphonylureas, meglitinides), increase insulin sensitivity (eg. metformin, thiazolidinediones) or regulate the release of stored glucose by liver.

In acute cases, insulin therapy will be required.

Treatment for Type Three Diabetes

Gestational diabetes can be treated mainly by introducing diet changes. Less carbohydrate rich should be included in the diet and also physical fitness must be maintained through regular exercises.

The blood sugar should be maintained under control. This may require medication and insulin therapy. The blood glucose level should be monitored often.

Since Gestational Diabetes affects fetal growth, regular monitoring of fetal growth and well-being should be followed. The woman should undergo regular medical check ups.
