Diabetes Care
Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the body cannot produce enough or effectively use insulin. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are an estimated 29 million people living with diabetes in the United States. At Stay at Home Senior Care, we know that living with diabetes can be challenging. From establishing a healthy lifestyle to managing blood sugar and insulin levels, the disease can require supplemental care outside regular visits to the doctor or after a hospitalization for an acute episode. Stay at Home Senior Care has experience in helping individuals and their families cope with diabetes. Our caregivers can help with the planning and the preparation of nutritious meals, medication reminders, testing reminders and encourage regular exercise. We are honored to help those who are living with diabetes so that they can enjoy a higher quality of life.
Because of better treatments, people with diabetes are living longer, more independent lives. Managing your diabetes can take planning and support. The best plan includes healthy nutrition, maintaining an active lifestyle, being prepared and avoiding additional medical complications.
Our caregivers can assist with:
- Nutritious meal planning and preparation
- Transfer to/from bed, wheelchair, etc.
