What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a long-term health condition that affects your ability to manage blood glucose or sugar. Typically, consuming sugar triggers the pancreas to release insulin, which is essential for transforming sugar in the blood into energy for the body. However, those with diabetes either cannot produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin their body produces to manage blood sugar levels properly. This results in sugar accumulating in the bloodstream, potentially leading to severe health issues, such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and vision impairment, among others. Although diabetes cannot be cured, effective management can alleviate symptoms and decrease the risk of additional health problems. At YourClinic, Dr. Enid Romanelli and her team offer tailored management plans for patients with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes or suspect you may have the condition, we encourage you to reach out to our practice in Irving, TX to explore your options for managing your health.
How Is Diabetes Managed?
If you have not yet been diagnosed with diabetes, we will begin with a blood test to confirm the presence of the disease and identify which type you have. Should the results indicate diabetes, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. The focus of diabetes treatment is on effective management of the condition and enabling the patient to achieve a balanced lifestyle through regular blood sugar monitoring. Your treatment plan might include various elements, such as lifestyle adjustments (such as dietary changes and increased physical activity), insulin therapy, medically guided weight loss, and prescription medications.
What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes?
The symptoms of diabetes can vary, depending on whether you have type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. If you observe any of the symptoms listed below, it is essential to contact our practice to arrange a blood test for diabetes:
- Increased thirst
- Blurry vision
- Slow-healing wounds
- Dry skin
- Chronic fatigue
- Frequent urination
- Increased appetite
By identifying these symptoms early, you can take a proactive step toward managing your health effectively.
YourClinic, Body By YourClinic Reviews
Body by Your Clinic is a God send. The staff is amazing and very professional. Most importantly they care about your health journey. Given my recent limitations with my back injury, I have been able to attain great results using their Emsculpt Neo. I highly recomend this clinic for all of your health needs. You will definitely be in great hands.
I LOVE this place (and I am picky). The staff has always been amazing. Nic is the BEST. He is responsive, attentive, intelligent and a genuine pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!!!
I feel so happy with the results received from my treatments that I want to shout them into the wind!!! I get up less at night and I don't have to use pads during the day! It's like my incontinence has disappeared...wait...it's gone!
Melissa and Nic are the best, I came for a weight loss consultation and was able to find different procedures that help with not just body fat and sculpting but also vaginal rejuvenation, something I had been wanting to do without the downtime as I have 3 kids! I’m beyond grateful and feel more confident in every way! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👏
LOVE this place! Friendly staff, get you in/out quickly and Nic is THE best. He is responsive, smart, attentive and such a pleasure to work with while there. Highly recommend!
