Transplantation in diabetology
From WikiLectures
These days, there is still more options and procedures in diabetes therapy:
# 1) patient education
- support the change of lifestyle, i.e. proper eating habits, physical activity, avoid smoking and alcohol,...
- inform about possible risks if the patient does not follow the doctor's instructions sufficiently (hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, stroke and more)
- motivation
- pharmacological therapy
- best in combination with lifestyle changes, when non-pharmacological therapy fails
- according to DM type (DM1 - insulin dependent, DM2 - insulin non-dependent)
- chirurgical intervention
