Diabetes
Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body uses blood sugar and is categorized as Type 1 (insulin deficient), and Type 2 (insulin inefficient). If blood sugar builds up too high in your blood stream, it can lead to serious health problems. This condition affects millions worldwide and demands consistent management to prevent complications. Proper care is essential to control blood sugar levels and enhance the overall quality of life for those living with this condition.
The Challenges of Diabetes Management
Managing diabetes can be complex, involving medication management, lifestyle adjustments, and continuous monitoring. Traditional healthcare models may lack the personalized touch needed for effective care. Spiras Health’s care-at-home can manage symptoms like:
- Feeling more thirsty than usual
- Urinating often
- Losing weight without trying
- Presence of ketones in the urine. Ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there’s not enough available insulin
- Feeling tired and weak
- Feeling irritable or having other mood changes
- Having blurry vision
- Having slow-healing sores
- Getting a lot of infections, such as gum, skin and vaginal infections
