treatments
Type 1
Treatment typically includes a carefully calculated diet, planned physical activity, multiple
daily insulin injections and home blood glucose testing a number of times per day.
Type 2
Treatment typically includes diet control, exercise, home blood glucose testing, and
in some cases, oral medication and/or insulin. Approximately 40% of people with
type 2 diabetes require insulin injections.
Gestational
Treatment for gestational diabetes involves making healthy choices. Most women
who make changes in the way that they eat and how often they exercise are able
to keep their blood sugar level within a target range. Controlling blood sugar is
the key to preventing problems during pregnancy or birth.
