Take Control of Your Health With Diabetes Management

If you've been diagnosed with diabetes or have experienced worrying symptoms, you may be able to benefit from our diabetes management program at Dion Health Services. Managing diabetes effectively involves making smart lifestyle choices and staying informed about your condition. Diet, exercise, and medication play crucial roles in keeping your blood sugar levels within target ranges.

Monitoring these factors daily can help you maintain a balanced and healthy life. Staying educated about diabetes and actively engaging with your healthcare team are essential. This empowers you to make informed decisions and adapt to changes as needed. Your proactive approach to managing diabetes can significantly improve your quality of life and reduce the risk of complications.

What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. There are two main types: Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. With type 1 diabetes, your body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. With type 2 diabetes, your body doesn't use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels.

Diabetes Risk Factors

Diabetes risk factors refer to conditions or behaviors that increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. The most common risk factors for diabetes include the following:

Type 1 Diabetes:

Family history
Genetic factors

Type 2 Diabetes:

Obesity
Sedentary lifestyle
Poor diet

Managing diabetes involves monitoring blood sugar levels, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and following a treatment plan set by healthcare providers.
