At Empire New York Medical Care, located in Midtown East, Dr. Hago provides treatment for patients from throughout New York City who are living with diabetes.
People with type 1 diabetes do not produce sufficient levels of insulin while those with type 2 diabetes do not process insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone essential to the transfer of glucose from the bloodstream into the body. Type 1 diabetes is most often diagnosed in children and young adults and is associated with family history. Only 5% of the people with diabetes have this form of the disease. Type 2 diabetes is much more common. In this form of the disease, blood sugar levels rise to higher than normal because the insulin that is produced is not processed correctly by the body.
The typical signs and symptoms of diabetes include:
It is important to know that many people with type 2 diabetes experience symptoms which as so mild they can go unnoticed.
Dr. Hago will work with you to develop a treatment plan including behavioral adjustments and possibly medication to manage the diagnoses and maintain health. Your diet and exercise habits may need to be adjusted to reduce sugar intake and increase activity levels to help your body burn glucose more efficiently. Dr. Hago may prescribe medicine or regular glucose checks. If Dr. Hago advises regular glucose level checks, you will need to learn how to administer the checks at home. It is also very important that you attend all of your appointments with your physician and any recommended specialists to monitor your disease and overall health.
