Diabetes

November 1, 2016

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood sugar, which can be diagnosed with a simple blood test. Diabetes can be controlled through a balance of diet, exercise, blood glucose monitoring and medication. Diabetes affects more than 29.1 million Americans. However, millions of people are unaware that they have high sugar or don't recognize the symptoms. Early detection and treatment are vital. Once diagnosed, people with diabetes can learn to effectively manage their disease and lead normal, healthy lives. Ongoing diabetes self-management care and education are important in preventing acute problems and help reduce the risk of long-term complications.

The Jupiter Medical Center Diabetes Education and Outpatient Nutrition Services can teach those with diabetes more about the disease, how to control it, and better yet, how to live with it. The Diabetes Education Center is proud to be a recognized program by the American Diabetes Association. A Registered Dietician and a Registered Nurse, both Certified Diabetes Educators, teach self-care management techniques to achieve blood glucose control that may help to delay or prevent the onset of diabetes-related complications. The diabetes self-management education classes provide those with diabetes, their spouses or caregivers information on nutrition, medications, blood glucose monitoring, exercise, and foot, skin and dental care.

For more information about diabetes or leading a healthier lifestyle call our health navigator at 561-263-4437.
