Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body produces little or no insulin, usually starting in childhood or young adulthood. Type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance and is more common in adults, often linked to lifestyle and genetic factors.
This depends on your treatment plan - some patients test daily, others use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for real-time tracking. Dr. Manisha will recommend a monitoring schedule suited to your condition.
