=== The beaten track of Diabetes management === <font color="green">'''Stage 1:'''</font> Starts with exercise & diet control (quantity restriction & Glycemic Index based food swapping). <font color="blue">'''Stage 2:'''</font> Progress to low dose medication usually Β½ Tab once daily in addition to stage 1 practices. <font color="blue">'''Stage 3:'''</font> Advance to higher doses of Tabs + Stage 1 practices. <font color="blue">'''Stage 4:'''</font> Switch to stronger Tabs in Stage 3 practices. <font color="orange">'''Stage 5:'''</font> Progress further to INSULIN injection (initially once daily, then twice, thrice & finally with every meal) in addition to Stage 1 practices. <font color="orange">'''Stage 6:'''</font> Then combination of a few of the above. <font color="red">'''Stage 7:'''</font> Combination (union) of all the above (diet control, exercise, tabs & insulin injections). <font color="red">'''Stage 8:'''</font> '''Penultimate, the UNSTABLE phase''' where prescribed dose of medicines pulls to hypoglycemia & reduced dose shoots the blood sugar up! (this topples the peace of mind as well as courage). This phase is known as Brittle Diabetes among medical professionals. '''Stage 9:''' '''Finally the BREAKDOWN phase''' when the patient gives up all restrictions on diet and lifestyle in utter despair, realising the futility of decades long struggling and compromises. ** There are two more stages which cannot be uniquely placed in the above sequence. These are relatively recent developments. <font color="brown">'''Bariatric surgery.'''</font> This surgical procedure reduces the food intake capacity and gives satiety with lesser quantity. That in turn reduces Blood Sugar lelevel as well as body mass. <font color="cyan">'''Insulin Pump Implantation.'''</font> As indicated by the name a pump that sends Insulin to bloodstream is implanted on the patient. It works on battery power and has a refillable/replaceable storage of Insulin. Pumping rate is presetable. The approximate size is comparable to a matchbox.
