Diabetes Care
We understand that diabetes is more difficult to manage than
other chronic illnesses. That’s why AseraCare Home Health's
diabetes management programs and home health services are designed
to reduce visits to the physician or ER, eliminate unnecessary
phone calls, and ensure better patient health and satisfaction.
Our home health nursing staff will educate you and your loved
ones on how to build an in-home routine and inform you of the
numerous factors that play a part in diabetes management, such as
clearly explaining the importance of monitoring the relationships
between blood glucose, medication and activity. As a leading home
healthcare provider, our ultimate goal is to help you learn how to
manage the disease and keep control of your life.
Our professionally-trained clinicians will assess your health
status, develop, implement and manage customized home healthcare
and exercise plans for you, and communicate regularly with you
about you status and progress.
Our interdisciplinary diabetes management team can assist you
with the following:
- Evaluation of your food choices and suggestions of specific
diets that won't aggrevate diabetes or any other conditions
(dietitians are available for consultation)
- Dietitians will evaluate food choices and suggest specific
diets that won’t aggravate diabetes or any other condition.
- Physical therapists will design rehabilitation programs that
specifically address diabetic limitations and symptoms.
- Nurses will instruct your patient and caregivers about
monitoring blood-glucose levels and caring for the feet, gums and
eyes.
- Consulting pharmacists will evaluate prescribed medications to
protect against potential food and medication
interactions.
