Having difficulty managing your blood sugar?
There are different types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes occurs when your pancreas does not make any insulin and may be diagnosed in childhood or early teens. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your pancreas is unable to make enough insulin or it no longer works effectively to reduce blood sugar levels. High levels of blood sugar can cause serious problems which may damage your eyes, kidneys and nerves.You may also be at higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke or it may be fatal if the blood sugar levels become too high and you do not receive the correct treatment.
Ever wondered how effective treatments are discovered? Clinical studies play a big role in the process.
We have put together a guide to help you better understand clinical studies and determine whether they are the right option for you.
