People with diabetes experience high sugar or glucose levels in their blood.
This high sugar level can damage the body's organs and lead to other problems
such as nerve damage, heart attacks, loss of vision, kidney damage, and
more. It is important to seek medical care for the management of this
disease, in order to avoid these problems.
Effective management includes dietary guidance and lifestyle enhancements,
such as carbohydrate monitoring, regular physical activity, and medical
interventions like certain medications or insulin therapy. Self-monitoring
of blood glucose levels using a glucometer is also a vital part of self-care
for diabetic patients. At Norman Regional, we are dedicated to providing
ongoing support and resources to empower you and your loved ones in effectively
managing diabetic conditions.
