Living with diabetes may bring additional medical needs to monitor, but it doesn’t have to mean your day-to-day life is any more complicated. Our diabetes home care is here to help.
In the UK, more than 5.8 million people live with diabetes, according to estimates from Diabetes UK. These figures could be set to rise, as a potential further 6.3 million people are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes based on blood sugar levels.
We offer expert diabetes home care to ensure you stay in control of the condition and your life. With us, you can live comfortably, confidently, and carefree.
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition which affects insulin and blood sugar levels, otherwise known as glucose, in the body.
There are two types of diabetes, with both impacting a person’s insulin and glucose levels, but in different ways. Type 1 diabetes causes the body to attack the cells that produce insulin, while in type 2, the body can’t create enough insulin or is resistant to it when it does.
Each type of diabetes has a different cause as well. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition that develops over time, whereas type 2 is commonly linked to a range of factors, such as weight, diet, age, ethnicity, and genetics.
While there is currently no cure for either type of diabetes, it is possible to manage the condition, ensuring no complications and a healthy, happy life.
What Is Diabetes Care?
Managing diabetes isn’t always easy, but that’s where diabetes home care comes in. With diabetes care, you receive daily assistance to help you stay on top of the condition.
Diabetes care is designed to help you manage your type of diabetes all within the comfort of your own home. A diabetes carer ensures you take any medication at the right time, helps you follow a healthy diet plan, as well as guides you through any required lifestyle changes.
Living with diabetes can be emotionally challenging at times, but a diabetes carer is there to support you through the challenges.
