Question

George, an elderly white man began to experience excessive thirst, hunger, and high blood sugar levels. he was diagnosed with a condition that could be controlled by diet and exercise. what is his condition and how does the treatment work?

Answer 1

Excessive thirst, hunger and high blood sugar levels are the symptoms of Diabetes.There are two types of diabetes viz; Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes requires injections of insulin and also may need other medications. There is no cure for Type 1 diabetes.So Mr. George is not suffering from Type 1 diabetes, because we know that his condition can be controlled by a strict diet plan. George is suffering from Type 2 Daibetes which can be controlled by a strict diet and regular exercise. This helps the body to make more insulin or use insulin better.
