How Can We Help You Defeat Diabetes?
- Eat to Defeat – There is no question that your diet plays an important role in both controlling and avoiding diabetes. Our caregivers can use healthy foods to prepare meals for you. A plant based diet is always one of the best options; as is a diet with minimally processed foods.
- Let’s Get Moving – Having an in home caregiver will allow you to move around your home more safely. In fact, we will work with you if you have a physical therapist who gives you simple exercises to do at home. A steady arm and assistance can help you get more mobile.
- Weight Control – While obesity increases your risk for diabetes you can become diabetic at any weight. One of the smartest approaches to weight control is to eat the proper foods while simply moving more.
- Age – Your chances of type 2 diabetes increases with age. Despite the fact that you cannot control your age; you can control how well you age. Healthy aging is the best way to decrease your chances of becoming a diabetic statistic.
- One Step at a Time – Following a healthy lifestyle does not mean making changes all at once. Slowly begin with eating healthier foods; buying more fresh fruits & veggies; and simply move around more. You don’t have to instantly turn into a vegan who runs marathons.
We can work with you to slowly make the changes you need to defeat diabetes. Don’t become a statistic of type 2 diabetes.
