What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition that impacts your ability to process blood glucose (or sugar). Normally, when a person eats sugar, their pancreas releases insulin, a necessary component for converting sugar in the bloodstream into energy for their body. Individuals with diabetes are unable to produce adequate insulin or use the insulin their body makes to effectively handle blood sugar, allowing it to build up in the bloodstream, which can lead to significant health complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and vision loss, among others. While there is no cure for diabetes, proper management can reduce your symptoms and lower your risk of future health issues. Whether you have type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes, the staff at WellHealth Medical Associates can help with a personalized diabetes management plan. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes or believe you might have this condition, we invite you to contact our office in Rochester Hills or Belleville, MI to learn more about management strategies for your health.
How Do You Manage Diabetes?
If you have not been diagnosed with diabetes, we'll start by performing a blood test to determine whether or not you have the condition and which form of diabetes you have. If you are diabetic, we'll build a customized care plan for your needs and lifestyle. Treatment for diabetes focuses on managing the condition and empowering the patient to live a more balanced lifestyle by monitoring their blood sugar. Your diabetes treatment plan at WellHealth Medical Associates may involve a combination of lifestyle modifications (like changes in diet and exercise habits), insulin injections, medically supervised weight loss, and prescription medication.
What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes?
The specific diabetes symptoms you experience may vary based on whether you have type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should reach out to our practice to schedule a blood test for diabetes:
- Frequent urination
- Increased appetite
- Chronic fatigue
- Dry skin
- Slow-healing wounds
- Blurry vision
- Increased thirst
WellHealth Medical Associates Reviews
Highly recommend this facility. Entire staff was efficient and knowledgeable. The doctor was the best I've been to in years he was patient and kind explaining and answering all my concerns. Making this my primary care for sure.
I’ve been going here for years now. Dr. Murthy is a great doctor. Always looks out for my best interest. Only thing I’ve ever had a problem with is getting called on Friday night for video when my appt was on a Wednesday. But I understand there’s only 2 providers and a lot of patients. Other than that they helped me with a lot. Thank you guys
He's an extremely smart doctor very well educated I'd recommend him to anyone
I have been a patient at Wellhealth for years now…I am always well taken care of, no matter what the reason of my visit. Staff has always been beyond great, even new faces…but Sarah is the secret sauce to this office. I appreciate everyone here and strongly recommend this office.
Dr. Murthy is incredibly knowledgeable in treating even the most complicated health issues. I have multiple autoimmune problems and since I’ve started seeing him, he has given me my life back! He is very understanding and compassionate and his superior knowledge in rare diseases make it so easy to talk to him and get the best treatments. I never believed it was possible for me to have a life without pain and I am forever grateful to him for giving me that! His PA Dr. Olivia is the best, she is very easy to talk to and very compassionate and knowledgeable as well. The entire staff at this office are amazing 😊 My 3 year old daughter and I are always happy to go in and see everyone! They make you feel very comfortable, like you’re family 😁 This is by far the best Primary Care office I have been to in over 10 years and I’m so blessed to have found them Thank you 🙏
