Diabetes Care & Physiotherapy Dhaka | Doctor-Led Management - AdvanCell

For individuals suffering from chronic pain, degenerative joint conditions, or injuries that resist conventional treatments, the prospect of true tissue repair and regeneration offers immense hope. Stem Cell Therapy, a cutting-edge approach in Regenerative Medicine, aims to harness the body's innate healing capabilities to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore function.

Understanding Diabetes: A Comprehensive Approach to Management

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. It occurs when your body either doesn't make enough insulin (Type 1 Diabetes), or can't effectively use the insulin it makes (Type 2 Diabetes), or during pregnancy (Gestational Diabetes). Uncontrolled high blood sugar levels can lead to serious health complications affecting various parts of the body, including the heart, blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, and eyes.

The Impact of Diabetes: Living with diabetes requires proactive management to prevent or delay complications such as:

• Diabetic Neuropathy: Nerve damage, often affecting the feet and hands, leading to numbness, tingling, or pain.

• Cardiovascular Disease: Increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

• Kidney Disease (Nephropathy): Damage to the kidneys.

• Eye Problems (Retinopathy): Damage to the blood vessels in the retina, potentially leading to vision loss.

• Foot Problems: Ulcers, infections, and in severe cases, amputation, due to nerve damage and poor circulation.

• Limited Joint Mobility: Stiffness and reduced range of motion in joints.

• Reduced Physical Function & Fatigue: Leading to a diminished quality of life.

While medication plays a vital role, lifestyle interventions—particularly diet and exercise—are the cornerstone of effective diabetes management, especially for Type 2 Diabetes and pre-diabetes.
