Overview
About Diabetes Management
We start by getting to know your real daily routine: what you like to eat, which medications you take, how your blood sugars behave across the day, and where things feel frustrating. From there, we work on practical skills one step at a time and share your readings with your doctor so your doses can be adjusted whenever needed.
Because diabetes can slow down healing and affect circulation in your feet, eyes, heart, and kidneys, we also check your feet and skin at every visit. Catching a small blister or dry spot early is one of the best ways to prevent serious complications.
What's included
- Blood glucose monitoring and reviewing your daily patterns together
- Support with both oral diabetes pills and injectable medications
- Hands-on insulin and glucose meter coaching
- Simple plans for recognizing and handling low or high blood sugar
- Routine diabetic foot and skin exams, plus wound care when needed
- Practical, everyday meal and carb guidance aligned with your doctor's advice
- Planning ahead for sick days when blood sugars can fluctuate
- Sharing regular updates with your doctor so your treatment stays dialed in
Who it helps
- People adjusting to a new diabetes diagnosis
- Patients recently hospitalized for high or low blood sugar
- Individuals healing from diabetic foot ulcers or circulation issues
- Anyone whose diabetes medications or insulin doses were recently changed

Your care, step by step.

Your team visits on schedule, shows your family how to help, and keeps your doctor in the loop as you get stronger.
Staying safe
When to call us or your doctor
Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. A registered nurse is always on call by phone after office hours, on weekends, and on holidays.
Call us or your physician if you notice:
- Blood sugar readings that stay outside the target range your doctor set
- Signs of low blood sugar such as shakiness, cold sweats, or confusion
- A small cut, blister, red spot, or sore on your foot that is slow to heal
- Redness, warmth, swelling, or a fever
For chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding or any emergency, call 911.
What will we cover during diabetes visits?
We go at your pace. Together we cover checking and logging your blood sugar, taking your medications safely, knowing how to treat a sudden low or high, checking your feet daily, and knowing when to call your doctor.
Do your nurses check my feet?
Yes, every time we visit. Reduced circulation and nerve sensitivity can make it easy to miss a small blister on your foot, so we check carefully and show you or a family member what to look for between visits.
