Diabetes is a serious condition that is currently incurable, but it can
be controlled. When you have diabetes, your body doesn’t properly
use the energy from the food that you eat. This causes your blood sugar
to be too high. It has been proven that controlling blood sugar can reduce
complications from diabetes. The following tools are useful for controlling diabetes:
Knowledge of diabetes
Appropriate meal plans
Regular exercise
Correct medication
Blood-sugar monitoring
Behavioral change goals
Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Insulin Pumps
At Baxter Health, we provide educational resources for individuals and
families on how to properly manage diabetes. We help our patients avoid
the more serious complications of the disease and enjoy a better quality of life.
