As research in healthcare continues to surprise us with newer developments and interventions for prevention and treatment, there’s good news for patients living with diabetes too!
Management options for people with diabetes have greatly improved the quality of their lives. Both patients and health care providers find the new trends to be the way forward for diabetes management.
Let’s have a look at some of the latest trends in diabetes treatment and what they entail.
1. More Medication Options
(As if current medication is not already enough!)
No, but jokes aside, the medical department is introducing more medicine for diabetics in the market. This includes insulin that is long lasting which, is typically used only once a day. Alongside there’s also insulin that can be inhaled (not injectable) and works rapidly. (Yay! No more needles.) Of course, different types of insulin, suit different people, and so if you are interested in trying something different and knowing whether it works for you, speak to your health care provider.2.

3. Monitoring Blood Sugar
Continuous glucose monitoring involves placing a tiny sensor beneath the skin which, measure glucose levels at all times. You are then able to see the results on a handheld wireless monitor. If the blood sugar levels become too high or drop too low, the system can send alarms to inform you. Though continuous glucose monitoring is a great asset in diabetic patient management, it measures only an approximation of the actual blood value.
4. Continued Insurance Challenge
Though medical science and technology has advanced a huge deal and has made an improvement in diabetes care, insurance challenges let down many individuals. Diabetes can be costly, especially when it comes to medication and blood test strips.
Usually, insurance companies require documents from health care providers to prove that your medication is necessary in the amounts provided. But even with documentation companies will only cover a limited amount of supplies.
