Diabetes care has changed dramatically in internal medicine, with incorporation of newer insulin therapies, continuous glucose monitoring, and digital health platforms. These provide accurate monitoring, improved glycemic control, and prompt detection of complications.
Lifestyle therapy, such as nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral changes, continues to be the key to successful diabetes management. Internists also use precision medicine strategies, individualizing therapy based on unique genetic and metabolic patterns.
Patient education and self-management techniques enable patients to take an active role in their care. Combined, these techniques decrease complications, hospitalization, and long-term morbidity. Diabetes care in internal medicine advances with technology and patient-oriented approaches.
