What is Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). In people with diabetes, the pancreas either does not produce enough insulin or the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces, leading to elevated blood glucose levels.
Over time, high blood sugar can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Type 2 diabetes, the more common form, occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t make enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels.
Common Symptoms of Diabetes
Common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, and unexplained weight loss. Individuals with diabetes may also experience increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision.
These symptoms occur due to the body’s inability to properly regulate blood sugar levels, leading to high blood glucose concentrations.
Other signs of diabetes include slow-healing wounds, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, and recurrent infections. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems.
Common Causes of Diabetes
Several factors can contribute to the development of diabetes. Genetics play a significant role, as having a family history of diabetes increases your risk. Lifestyle factors such as being overweight or obese, physical inactivity, and consuming an unhealthy diet high in processed foods and added sugars can also lead to insulin resistance and blood sugar spikes.
Additionally, aging, high blood pressure, and certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can increase the likelihood of developing diabetes mellitus.
While there is no cure for diabetes, managing the condition through a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring can help keep blood sugar levels within a normal range.
Available Treatment Options for Diabetes
Several treatment options are available for effectively managing diabetes. One of the most common treatments is insulin therapy, which involves taking insulin injections or using an insulin pump to regulate blood sugar levels.
Assistance can be provided in refilling insulin prescriptions and offering guidance on proper insulin administration.
In addition to insulin, various oral medications are available that can help control blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. These include metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and DPP-4 inhibitors, among others.

Over the Counter Medications and Self-Care Tips
Over-the-counter medications can help manage diabetes symptoms and blood sugar levels. Common options include pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, which can alleviate discomfort associated with diabetes-related nerve damage.
Certain dietary supplements, such as chromium or alpha-lipoic acid, may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. However, consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplements to ensure safety and avoid potential interactions with prescribed diabetes medications.
In addition to medications, self-care practices are crucial for effectively managing diabetes. Maintaining a healthy weight through regular physical activity and a balanced diet can improve insulin secretion and reduce the risk of complications. A low fat diet, that consists of whole foods or plant foods is ideal in treating and reversing diabetes. Whole grains, for example, is a great source of complex carbohydrates that helps to control blood sugar.
Increasing physical activity with aerobic exercise can also help reduce your blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Monitoring blood pressure and keeping it within a normal range is also important, as high blood pressure often co-occurs with diabetes. Regularly checking blood sugar levels and staying hydrated by drinking water throughout the day can help prevent low blood sugar episodes and dehydration.

Recommendations for Further Diabetes Treatments When Necessary
For patients requiring additional diabetes treatment beyond medication refills, MyInstantMD’s providers may recommend further steps based on the individual’s needs. These recommendations could include lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and monitoring blood sugar levels.
In some cases, providers may suggest adjusting medication dosages or adding new medications to better control blood glucose. When necessary, MyInstantMD’s healthcare professionals will advise patients to seek in-person care for more comprehensive diabetes management, ensuring continuity of treatment and optimal outcomes.
MyInstantMD’s experienced providers are equipped to assess each patient’s unique situation and provide personalized recommendations for diabetes care. By analyzing the information submitted through the online assessment, they can determine if additional interventions are needed to effectively manage the condition.
