Treatment and Therapies for Diabetes
Treatment and Therapies for Diabetes
Treatment and therapies for diabetes encompass a range of approaches aimed at managing blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of complications. Pharmacological therapies include oral medications, injectable insulin, and newer classes of medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors, which help improve glycemic control and may also have cardiovascular benefits. Lifestyle interventions, such as adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight, are cornerstone strategies for diabetes management. Additionally, continuous glucose monitoring systems and insulin pumps offer advanced tools for monitoring and managing blood sugar levels. The Treatment and Therapies for Diabetes session at the Diabetes 2024 summit will explore the latest advancements in pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to diabetes management, with a focus on optimizing patient outcomes and quality of life.
