Diabetes

Diabetes is a long-term condition in which blood sugar stays higher than normal, either because the body does not make enough insulin or cannot use it properly. The main types are type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes (first found during pregnancy).

Increased thirst, passing urine often, tiredness, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds and unexplained weight loss are common. Many people, especially with type 2 diabetes, have no symptoms at first, which is why testing matters.

Doctors use fasting blood sugar, post-meal blood sugar and HbA1c, and sometimes a glucose tolerance test. Your doctor decides which tests you need. These blood tests are available at AMC Hospital.

HbA1c shows your average blood sugar over roughly the last three months. It is used to diagnose diabetes and to check how well treatment is working.

Prediabetes means blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet in the diabetes range. Healthy eating, regular activity, weight management and follow-up testing can lower the chance of it progressing to type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are long-term conditions. They can be managed well with treatment, food choices, activity and regular follow-up. Some people with type 2 diabetes can reach remission with significant weight loss under medical supervision, but this needs ongoing monitoring. AMC Hospital does not promise a cure, and you should not stop or change diabetes medicine without your doctor’s advice.

Your doctor will set a schedule for you. Many people have HbA1c checked every three to six months, along with yearly checks of the eyes, feet and kidneys, and regular blood pressure and cholesterol review.

Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar first found during pregnancy. It is usually checked with a blood sugar test in pregnancy and needs regular follow-up with your doctor to keep you and your baby safe.

Seek emergency care straight away if high blood sugar comes with repeated vomiting, severe drowsiness, confusion, fast or deep breathing, or breath that smells fruity. Very low blood sugar with shakiness, sweating or confusion also needs urgent treatment.

Thyroid

The thyroid is a small gland at the front of the neck. It makes hormones that help control metabolism, energy levels, body temperature and heart rate.

An underactive thyroid can cause tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, dry skin, constipation, low mood and heavy periods. An overactive thyroid can cause weight loss, palpitations, sweating, tremor, anxiety and feeling hot. These symptoms can have other causes, so a blood test is needed.

The usual starting test is TSH, often with free T4. Sometimes T3, thyroid antibody tests or an ultrasound of the neck are added. Your doctor decides which are needed.

Fasting is usually not required for a thyroid blood test, but follow the instructions given when you book. If you take thyroid medicine, ask whether to take it before or after the test.

Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day, and usually on an empty stomach. Do not change the dose or stop it without checking with your doctor, because the dose is adjusted using follow-up blood tests.

It means TSH is mildly raised while thyroid hormone levels are normal. Whether it needs treatment depends on the TSH level, symptoms, age, pregnancy plans and antibody results, and it often needs a repeat test before deciding.

A thyroid nodule is a lump in the thyroid gland. Most nodules are not cancerous, but they should be checked with an examination, blood tests and usually an ultrasound to decide whether any further tests are needed.

An underactive thyroid can contribute to weight gain, and an overactive thyroid to weight loss. Treating the thyroid usually helps but on its own rarely leads to large weight changes, so food and activity still matter.

Weight management

The doctor first looks at your overall health and at conditions that can affect weight, such as thyroid problems, PCOS, diabetes and some medicines. Care then combines nutrition guidance, physical activity advice and regular follow-up, with a plan that suits your health.

Depending on your history, tests may include blood sugar or HbA1c, thyroid tests, a cholesterol profile and liver and kidney tests. Your doctor decides what is needed.

Gradual loss, often around 0.5 to 1 kg a week, is generally considered safe and easier to maintain. Faster loss can cost muscle and nutrients and is more likely to be regained.

No. Very low-calorie or single-food diets can cause tiredness, muscle loss and nutrient gaps, and weight is often regained afterwards. A balanced, sustainable eating pattern with regular activity works better.

PCOS can make weight gain more likely and weight loss slower. Evaluation usually looks at periods, hormones, blood sugar and an ultrasound. Healthy eating and regular activity help, and your doctor can advise on further treatment.

Whether any medicine is suitable depends on your health, other conditions and other medicines, and is decided after a medical evaluation. Please do not start weight-loss medicines or injections without medical advice.

General health

See a doctor if a fever lasts more than three days, goes above 103°F (39.4°C), or comes with a rash, severe headache, stiff neck, breathing difficulty or confusion. Seek care sooner for infants, older adults, pregnant women and people with diabetes or other long-term conditions.

It commonly includes blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney tests, thyroid tests, blood counts, a urine test, blood pressure and BMI. The exact tests depend on your age, family history and risk factors.

Many adults do well with a checkup about once a year, or as their doctor advises. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a strong family history may need checks more often.

A reading around 120/80 mmHg is considered normal. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so it should be checked regularly. If readings stay at or above 140/90 on repeated checks, see a doctor.

Fatty liver means extra fat has built up in the liver. It is often linked with excess weight, diabetes and high cholesterol, and usually causes no symptoms. It is found on an ultrasound or blood tests, and weight loss, activity and good blood sugar control help.

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal condition that can cause irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne and difficulty conceiving. It is assessed with an examination, blood tests and often an ultrasound.

You can bring your existing reports and prescriptions to a consultation, and the doctor will go through them with you. Please carry all previous records.
