What you need to know about diabetes

Diabetes is a condition in which the body does not properly process food for energy, causing glucose or blood sugar levels to increase. 

We provide expert care for a Type 1 or juvenile diabetes, Type 2 or adult-onset diabetes and gestational diabetes. Depending on the individual’s diagnosis, we can manage these symptoms through a variety of means, including education and lifestyle changes, medication and insulin pump therapy. 

What is an A1C test?

The hemoglobin A1C test gives an average of your blood glucose control over the past 2-3 months. While it is used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes, it is also an essential tool for evaluating how well you’re managing diabetes.
