Diabetology

Diabetology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of diabetes mellitus and its associated complications. Diabetologists, often endocrinologists, work to control blood sugar levels through medication, lifestyle changes, and insulin therapy. They also educate patients on proper nutrition, exercise, and monitoring techniques to prevent complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease. Diabetology encompasses both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and other forms of the condition. By providing comprehensive care and support, diabetologists aim to improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the long-term impact of diabetes-related complications.
