Diabetes Care

Similar to individuals of advanced age, managing diabetes introduces unique challenges to everyday activities that many people may take for granted. Meal planning becomes focused on ensuring a diabetic-friendly diet, emphasizing the importance of staying fit and active. Additionally, consistently monitoring blood glucose levels becomes an integral part of daily life.

Adding to the complexity is the fact that individuals are often diagnosed with diabetes later in life, when their daily routines have become deeply ingrained, making it challenging to alter these well-established patterns.

CEDAR GROVE PRIVATE HOME CARE caregivers serve as a valuable ally, offering support in education, training, and ongoing maintenance to help you or your loved ones effectively manage diabetes.

What Is Diabetes?

In a healthy individual, the pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating the absorption of sugars. When consuming foods containing sugar, insulin assists the body in maintaining a normal blood sugar level. Diabetes arises when the body becomes resistant to insulin or the pancreas doesn’t produce sufficient insulin to effectively manage the amount of sugar in the bloodstream.

This implies that individuals with diabetes must adopt alternative strategies to regulate their blood sugar. Without effective management, they face the risk of serious complications such as heart and circulatory diseases.
