Make a flow chart
A clean, professional medical flow chart titled "Diabetes Management: Type 1 vs Type 2". The chart starts with a top box "Patient Diagnosed with Diabetes", then branches into two paths: LEFT PATH (Type 1 Diabetes): - Type 1 Diabetes (Autoimmune, insulin-dependent) - Mandatory Insulin Therapy (Basal-Bolus regimen) - Blood Glucose Monitoring (CGM or finger-stick) - Branches: [In Target Range] -> Continue regimen + regular HbA1c checks | [Out of Range] -> Adjust insulin dose / Consult endocrinologist - Lifestyle: Carb counting, exercise management, sick-day rules - Regular follow-up: HbA1c every 3 months, annual eye/kidney/foot screen RIGHT PATH (Type 2 Diabetes): - Type 2 Diabetes (Insulin resistance) - First Line: Lifestyle modification + Metformin - HbA1c reassessed at 3 months - If HbA1c at target: Continue + monitor every 6 months - If HbA1c not at target: Add second agent (GLP-1 agonist, SGLT-2 inhibitor, DPP-4 inhibitor) - If still not at target: Add third agent or initiate insulin Both paths converge at the bottom: "Ongoing Monitoring: HbA1c, BP, Lipids, Renal function, Eye & Foot exams" Use a white background, blue color scheme for Type 1 path, green for Type 2 path, clear arrows, rounded boxes, and professional clinical style.
- Type 1 (blue path) - Mandatory insulin therapy, blood glucose monitoring, dose adjustment, and regular specialist follow-up
- Type 2 (green path) - Stepwise approach starting with lifestyle changes and Metformin, escalating to second/third agents (GLP-1, SGLT-2, DPP-4 inhibitors), and eventually insulin if needed
- Shared bottom - Ongoing monitoring of HbA1c, blood pressure, lipids, renal function, and annual eye/foot screening
