Our comprehensive approach includes nutrition counseling, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments to improve your overall health and well-being.

We specialize in advanced treatments such as insulin pump management and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which provide real-time glucose insights for more precise diabetes control. We follow ADA and AACE guidelines and we do believe that improving “time in range” should be the goal for treatment of diabetes.

The Impact of Effective Diabetes Management

Better Health Outcomes

With the right medication, nutrition, and lifestyle, patients can achieve better glucose control, reducing the risk of heart disease, nerve damage, eye disease and kidney problems.

Improved Quality of Life

Effective management leads to more energy, fewer symptoms, and greater freedom in daily activities without constant blood sugar worries.

Longer Lifespan

Patients following a structured diabetes care plan, including insulin pumps or CGMs, tend to live healthier, longer lives with fewer complications.

Common Questions about Diabetes

What’s the Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the pancreatic insulin producing cells undergo destruction by autoantibodies. The body produces little to no insulin, requiring insulin therapy. It typically starts in childhood but can develop at any age.
Type 2 Diabetes: The pancreatic cells produce insulin, but the cells become increasingly resistant to insulin often leading to the need for exogenous insulin. It is common in adults but increasingly seen in the younger population as well, mainly due to unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity and sometimes due to obesity.

At Aura, we provide personalized treatment plans for both types of diabetes, helping you effectively manage your condition.

How Do Insulin Pumps and CGMs Help with Diabetes?

Insulin Pumps: These small devices continuously deliver insulin throughout the day, offering better glucose control and flexibility compared to injections.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): CGMs provide real-time glucose readings 24/7, allowing you and your care team to adjust insulin doses, meal plans, and activity levels for optimal diabetes management.

At Aura, we offer full support for both insulin pumps and CGM devices, helping you get the most out of these technologies.

What Lifestyle Changes Can Help Manage Diabetes?

Healthy Eating: Healthy and timely eating habits lower insulin secretion, stabilize blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. For Type 2 diabetes, weight loss through proper diet improves insulin sensitivity.
Exercise: Regular physical activity helps your body use insulin more efficiently, improving glucose control in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Stress Management: Stress can raise blood sugar levels. Managing stress levels helps improve diabetes and blood pressure control and helps with overall wellbeing.
