In this interview with Dr. Mohamed Nassef, a critical care consultant at EHS (Emirates Health Services), we delve into the crucial area of diabetes prevention. Dr. Nassef emphasizes the importance of shifting focus from treating diabetic crises like DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) and HHS (Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State) to proactively preventing them.
He discusses the high cost and mortality associated with these crises, particularly among younger populations with Type 1 diabetes. Dr. Nassef outlines a multi-faceted approach to prevention, including:
- ⦾ Enhanced Ambulatory Care: Regular check-ups and close monitoring for high-risk individuals.
- ⦾ Risk-Based Care: Categorizing patients based on risk and tailoring care accordingly.
- ⦾ Lifestyle Modification: Encouraging healthy lifestyle choices and patient education.
- ⦾ Early Intervention: Promptly addressing complications to prevent crises.
Delve into the groundbreaking technologies and therapies that are revolutionizing diabetes management.
