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
