Diabetes Care
Day-to-day support with monitoring, diet, foot care, and medication. The routine work that keeps diabetes from becoming a crisis.
Managing diabetes at home
Diabetes is managed in hundreds of small daily decisions. When memory, vision, or mobility declines, those decisions get missed, and the consequences, hypoglycemia, infections, amputations, hospitalization, arrive quickly.
- Blood glucose monitoring and logging
- Medication and insulin reminders; administration where nursing is available
- Meal planning and cooking to a diabetic diet
- Daily foot inspection and skin care
- Encouraging safe physical activity
- Recognizing and responding to hypo- and hyperglycemia
- Getting to endocrinology, podiatry, and ophthalmology appointments
Why foot care gets its own line
Most diabetes-related amputations begin with a wound the person never saw. A caregiver who checks feet daily catches these while they are still treatable. It is a two-minute task with outsized consequences.
