Diabetes is not your life sentence. Living with diabetes is hard enough. You
don’t need us here to tell you about how difficult dealing with this disease
is. You live it every single day. What you do need is help and support, some
answers and guidance, and a plan to help you manage your condition in the best
way possible. That’s what we’re focused on at R-Endocrinology. We use a
personalized approach for every individual with diabetes, which is delivered
by experienced endocrinologists and supported by a specialized care team. This
includes providing you with all the education and resources you need and
empowering you to become more active in your own care. This allows you to take
control of your health so you can ultimately live – as healthy a life as
possible.
Understanding Diabetes
It is important to understand why diabetes develops to begin with: it happens
when glucose, another name for blood sugar, is too high in the body. This
occurs when the pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or because the body isn’t
responding to the insulin it makes properly.
Glucose is the main source of
energy for the body, and it comes from carbohydrates that we eat and drink.
When glucose is in the bloodstream, it needs a ‘facilitator’ called insulin in
order for the glucose to get to the body’s assorted cells. The glucose can
then make its way around the body and provide energy. If the pancreas doesn’t
produce enough insulin, or if the body isn’t taking advantage of the insulin
it makes, the body’s glucose builds up and starts to accumulate in the
bloodstream. This raises blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).
"3 in 4 adults with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries,
and 6.7 million deaths are recorded due to diabetes in 2021, 1 in every 5
seconds."

What is Metabolism?
Metabolism is the fascinating process through which our bodies convert food
into energy. It involves a series of biochemical reactions that break down
nutrients from the food you eat and convert them into energy that your body's
cells can use. This energy is what fuels essential bodily functions such as
breathing, circulation, and cell repair. Understanding metabolism can help you
make healthier choices and manage your diabetes more effectively.
Diabetes and Metabolism: The Mighty Influence of Insulin
Diabetes is an illness where insulin, the key to controlling the body’s
consumption of stored energy, is rendered unusable. In other words, if an
anarchist were to create an activist health nutshell, it would involve
irregular Metabolism in diabetes, a condition of inadequate sugar regulation.
(Though all types of diabetes are some combination of problems with the
production, secretion, or utilization of insulin.)
“In short Diabetes 101 is: In type 1, the immune system attacks; in type 2,
the body rebels. In both, insulin’s in trouble!”
You have probably heard the terms Fast Metabolism, Slow Metabolism, Metabolic
Rates, etc. If you are diabetic, you have dealt with this before. Do not fear,
do not worry for one minute. Our staff is well-trained to take care of you.
Book an online consultation from the comfort of your home and let us take care
of the rest. Our team provides excellent consulting services to any patient
requiring diabetes treatment. Let's work together to secure access to the
treatment that you need.
Personalized Treatment Plans
At R-Endocrinology, we recognize that every individual's journey with diabetes
is different. That's why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We
prioritize personalized care plans tailored to each patient's health goals,
lifestyle, and medical history. Whether you have type 1, type 2, gestational,
or another form of diabetes, our team takes the time to listen to your
concerns and develop a plan that works specifically for you.
Multidisciplinary Approach
Managing diabetes requires a multifaceted approach that goes beyond medication
alone. If needed, our endocrinologist, Dr. Rizvi, will refer you to
dietitians, diabetes educators, and other healthcare professionals who are
collaborating to provide holistic care. From nutrition counseling and exercise
recommendations to medication management and continuous glucose monitoring,
R-Endocrinology offers comprehensive services to support your diabetes,
metabolic issues, and well-being. At R-Endocrinology, we don't just provide
care; we provide support and guidance. We empower our patients by equipping
them with knowledge and understanding of their conditions. Understanding the
connection between diabetes and Metabolism is crucial in executing the
treatment plan for effective diabetes management, and our team of experts is
here to support and guide you through the entire process.
What to Expect in Online Consultation for Diabetes Management?
We understand that dealing with a disease as major as diabetes can be
overwhelming and worrisome. Let's discuss how our appointments usually go:
- At each online consultation, we suggest you share your blood sugar
monitoring records with us and discuss any low or high blood sugar symptoms.
- Additionally, please keep us informed about any changes in your diet,
exercise routine, or medications and any new health issues you may have
encountered.
- Lastly, don't forget to mention if you've been experiencing any symptoms
related to eye, nerve, renal, or cardiovascular complications, such as
blurred vision, numbness or tingling in your feet, persistent swelling in
your extremities, leg cramps or pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, or
numbness or weakness on one side of your body.
- Our experienced staff will thoroughly take your history and record all your
symptoms of diabetes regularly to ensure accurate diagnosis, progress, and
treatment plans for you.

complications. That's why we strongly emphasize patient education and
