1 day Key terms Types of Diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system gradually destroys pancreatic beta cells, leading to a complete lack of insulin production.

Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is marked by a progressive decline in insulin secretion combined with insulin resistance, where the body’s cells do not respond adequately to insulin.

Treatment of Diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes: Management of type 1 diabetes primarily involves insulin therapy.

Type 2 Diabetes: Treatment often includes lifestyle modifications such as improved diet, increased physical activity, and stress reduction.

2 day Understanding the Benefits of Exercise:

• Blood Sugar Control: Engaging in physical activity helps your body use insulin more effectively, which can lead to better blood sugar control. It lowers blood sugar levels during and after exercise.
• Weight Management: Regular exercise can assist with weight loss or weight maintenance, an essential aspect of diabetes management, especially for those with type 2 diabetes.
• Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Exercise increases your body’s sensitivity to insulin, making it easier for your cells to take in and use glucose for energy.

Healthy Through Nutrition:

3 day Screenings for Diabetes and Complications. Indications for Testing

Staying Healthy Through Nutrition:

• Balanced Diet: Maintain a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
• Portion Control: Pay attention to portion sizes to avoid overeating, which can impact blood sugar levels and weight.

4 day Safety First: Possible interventions for emergency cases – hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia, characterized by low blood sugar levels, is a common occurrence among individuals with diabetes, often resulting from insulin therapy or other diabetes medications. Symptoms of hypoglycemia can manifest when blood glucose levels fall below 3.9 mmol/L, although individual physiological responses can vary.
