FAQ
Questions patients ask most
Straightforward answers to the questions that come up most in consultation, written for a first read, not a textbook.
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes happens when the body stops making insulin, usually starting early in life. Type 2 develops when the body doesn't use insulin effectively, often later in life and linked to lifestyle and family history.
How often should I check my blood sugar at home?
It depends on your treatment plan. Some patients check once a day, others several times — your doctor will set a schedule based on your medication and how stable your readings are.
What does my HbA1c number actually mean?
HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over the past two to three months, not just a single reading. It's one of the main numbers used to judge how well diabetes is being controlled.
Can diabetes be reversed?
Type 2 diabetes can sometimes go into remission with sustained weight loss and lifestyle change, though this varies by individual. Type 1 diabetes cannot be reversed and always needs insulin.
Why do I need to check my feet regularly?
Long-term high blood sugar can reduce sensation and blood flow in the feet, so small injuries can go unnoticed. Regular checks catch problems early, before they become serious.
Will I need insulin eventually?
Not everyone with diabetes needs insulin. Whether and when it's needed depends on your type of diabetes and how your blood sugar responds to other treatments over time.
How does diet affect my blood sugar day to day?
Carbohydrates have the most direct effect on blood sugar, but portion size, timing, and activity all play a role too. A dietary plan is usually built around your routine, not a generic list.
What symptoms mean I should call the clinic right away?
Symptoms such as extreme thirst, confusion, very high or very low readings, or fainting need prompt attention. If in doubt, call the clinic rather than waiting for your next visit.
