Types of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes
An autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing cells.
- Often diagnosed in children or young adults, but increasingly in middle-aged
- Requires multiple daily insulin injections
- Symptoms: rapid onset of frequent urination, thirst and weight loss
Type 2 Diabetes
The most common type of diabetes where the body becomes resistant to insulin deletion.
- Typically develops after age 40, but increasingly among younger people
- Early stages can be managed with lifestyle changes and oral medication
- Symptoms may be subtle or go unnoticed for years
Gestational Diabetes
It develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after delivery.
- Increases risk of Type 2 diabetes later in life
- Requires close monitoring for both mother and baby
Pre-diabetes
Blood sugar levels are higher than usual but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.
- Often reversible with diet and lifestyle changes
- Early action can prevent Type 2 diabetes

- You’ve been diagnosed with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes
- Your blood sugar levels are uncontrolled or often fluctuating
- You’re experiencing complications like blurred vision, foot numbness, or slow-healing wounds
- You want a personalised treatment plan that goes beyond medication
- You have not achieved your blood test goals in your current treatment plan
Endocrinologists are trained to handle complex cases, individualise medication prescriptions, and help prevent long-term damage to your heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.

Diabetes significantly increases your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Kidney Damage
