Managing Your Diabetes With Professional Home Health Care

Managing Your Diabetes With Professional Home Health Care

Diabetes is a complex chronic disease in which the body doesn't produce enough insulin or doesn't use insulin correctly. The result is higher-than-normal blood sugars, which cause various health issues, including neuropathy and circulatory problems.

It's challenging to manage diabetes alone, which is why professional home health care is a great option. Dr. Jeff Toll offers premier home health care services in his Los Angeles, California, practice.

As part of his exclusive membership program, he offers concierge medicine, including personal home health care visits, telemedicine, and care coordination.

The key to managing diabetes

Diabetes is a devastating condition that more than 830 million people worldwide live with. That number continues to rise, causing more than 2 million deaths yearly due to cardiovascular issues and kidney disease.

Diabetes management is an essential aspect of preventing serious health issues and complications from high blood sugar. And it's as easy as lowering blood sugar through simple lifestyle changes.

The real key to managing diabetes is through professional care and careful monitoring. It's crucial to know your blood sugar throughout the day and keep it within a reasonable range to prevent the disease from progressing and causing permanent damage.

Getting your blood sugar under control is as simple as watching your diet, exercising regularly, and taking medications as Dr. Toll prescribes. Regular visits with Dr. Toll also help him monitor your condition and health to avoid problems down the road.

Benefits of home health care

Professional home health care is one of the many ways Dr. Toll helps his clients with diabetes. The major benefit of home health care is personalized care plans and management that address your specific needs and health concerns.

Dr. Toll considers your medical history and nutritional needs, allowing you to make small lifestyle changes to manage diabetes efficiently. Our home health plan has many benefits for diabetic patients, including:

Nutritional support

Your diet is vital to controlling diabetes, which is where we can help. We consider your nutritional preferences and healthy habits to fight diabetes and control blood sugar levels.

Remote glucose monitoring

Regularly checking blood sugar levels is vital to keeping diabetes in check. Dr. Toll offers remote glucose monitoring through regular check-ins and 24-hour availability. He shows you how to check blood sugar levels effectively and what to do if they're too high or low.

Medication management

Many people require medications to manage diabetes; some need more than one, along with other drugs, to control various chronic health problems. It can all be confusing without the proper care and instructions.

Home health care allows our team to evaluate your medications to ensure you take them properly. We also check for drug interactions and adjust dosing as necessary.

Chronic wound prevention

One of the complications of uncontrolled diabetes is chronic wounds and ulcers. Once a chronic wound forms, it's challenging to get rid of, so we offer tips and tricks to prevent wounds from forming at home.

Emotional support

Living with diabetes is emotionally and mentally draining. Without the proper support, it isn't easy to deal with. Our home health care services provide the care and support you need to fight diabetes and stay as healthy as possible.

Exercise guidance

Regular physical activity is another way to control diabetes, but it's not easy if you don't know where to start. We offer in-home exercise programs and coordination to help you lose weight, improve your health, and prevent diabetes with our health and wellness coaching.

Care coordination

Diabetes management involves more than just a primary care physician; it often includes other specialists working together to manage every aspect of your care. Our home health services include care coordination between every doctor and specialist you need to stay healthy.
