At Right at Home Palm Beach, we understand that living diabetes can be difficult. Finding and maintain a healthy lifestyle can prove to be challenging to some seniors. We work with you and your physician to create a plan that is designed to decrease hospital visits and better manage your diabetes.
Living With Diabetes
Diabetes develops when your body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin or when your pancreas produces some, but not enough, insulin to maintain a normal glucose level. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas that regulates the absorption of sugar into your cells.
For those with diabetes, leading a healthy and active life depends on good diabetes management. Good management reduces the risk of complications, such as heart and circulatory disease, which individuals with diabetes are three times more likely to develop.
