Diabetes Management Services
Diabetes Management Services
Care Bridge Home provides a broad range of services to people with diabetes, their families, and caregivers.
Older people with diabetes have different care needs than younger people with diabetes and react differently to medications and blood sugar levels. In addition, an older person often has other health conditions.
Diabetes is a common disease that has the potential to significantly impact the health and well-being of seniors. Diabetes is generally only one of several chronic conditions that increase in old age and require more extensive care.
The well-being and quality of life of diabetic patients will be enhanced through well-planned, appropriate, and comprehensive care, which requires a trained and competent workforce.
Benefits of our in-home diabetes management services.
- Assist with eye sight and mobility: Diabetes affects the eyes and nervous terminations. Many elderly people who have lived with diabetes all their lives have walking problems due to damaged nerves in their feet, and vision problems due to eye damage. This may interfere with their daily activities and expose them to an increased risk of falling.
- Monitoring blood glucose level: Diabetes is controlled through the use of insulin and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels in the elderly is very important. A disoriented senior may have difficulty or not be able to contact someone in time for help with blood glucose control.
- Medical Nutrition Therapy: Services include nutrition and lifestyle assessment, therapy services, support in the management of lifestyle factors affecting diabetes, regular follow-up and visits to monitor progress.
