Understanding Diabetes — Your GP's Guide
Diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are too high. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition; type 2 is linked to insulin resistance and lifestyle factors. Good control lowers the risk of long-term complications.

What is diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes needs insulin from diagnosis. Type 2 is managed with lifestyle, tablets and sometimes insulin. Gestational diabetes develops in pregnancy and usually resolves after birth.
When to seek medical advice
See a GP for symptoms like excess thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, blurred vision or unexplained weight loss. Known diabetics should seek urgent help for very high or low blood glucose, or if unwell.
Available treatments
Metformin is first-line for type 2. Other options include SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin), GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Mounjaro), DPP-4 inhibitors, sulfonylureas and insulin.
What to expect
Treatment goals are personalised. HbA1c targets, blood pressure and cholesterol checks are reviewed annually. Many people with type 2 improve significantly with weight loss.
Self-care
Follow a balanced low-glycaemic diet, stay active, monitor blood glucose as advised, attend annual eye and foot checks and look after mental health.
