Diabetes and Bladder & Sexual Problems

Diabetes can cause microvascular complications that disturb the normal functioning of blood vessels, nerves, and the body’s response to neurohormonal stimuli. Such disruptions can result in bladder and sexual dysfunctions, which are common in both men and women with diabetes. 

Type 2 Diabetes: Causes, Symptoms, and Management

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for 90-95% of all cases. T2DM is characterized by insulin resistance and non-autoimmune loss of pancreatic b-cell insulin secretion, which results in persistent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

Sleep & Diabetes

Sleep Disorders Are Common in Diabetes – Sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are more prevalent in diabetic individuals than in the general population.

Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important part of diabetes management.1 SMBG involves pricking a finger to obtain blood sample for a blood glucose meter, which shows the current blood glucose concentration to the user.2 Glucose monitoring is a useful tool that helps assess response to therapy, prevent hypoglycemia, and guide changes to medication, diet, and exercise.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous glucose monitoring allows automatic tracking of glucose levels throughout the day and night.1 Real-time continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) use a sensor inserted under the skin to measures interstitial glucose concentrations every few minutes. Users can track their glucose levels through a monitor connected to the sensor.
