Diabetes Care in Inland Empire Rancho

There can be health concerns that come naturally because of aging. But if you have diabetes, the things you take for granted every day can end up being challenging. Meal planning revolves around making sure your diet is diabetic-friendly and you avoid diabetes-related weight gain. Keeping fit and active is even more important, too. And, of course, you always have to make time for testing your blood glucose levels.

What often makes this even harder is when people are diagnosed with diabetes late in life. By this time, their day-to-day schedule has become so ingrained that it’s a nearly impossible routine to break.

Fortunately, Right at Home of Inland Empire Rancho’s caregivers can be a powerful ally in helping you or your loved one stay on top of your diabetes symptoms, including positive reinforcement and daily reminders for ongoing management.

What Is Diabetes?

In a healthy person’s body, the pancreas produces a hormone called insulin, which regulates the absorption of sugars. Whenever they eat something that contains sugar, insulin helps them maintain a normal level of blood sugar. Diabetes develops when a person’s body becomes resistant to insulin, or their pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to properly manage the amount of sugar in their blood. That means people with diabetes have to learn to do other things to regulate their blood sugar. Without that management, they’re at risk of serious complications like heart and circulatory diseases, and damage to the eyes and kidneys. Diabetics must take steps every day to manage the disease to lower their risk of health complications

"My husband passed away last week, and both of us were receiving care. They're wonderful and very supportive. Even with my husband gone, I need their help. They stayed with my husband when my sister-in-law took me to the doctor. If it wasn't for them, I couldn't have cared for him for as long as I did. They took out the trash and did things that I couldn't do, like vacuuming and making the bed. They gave Mike food and were supportive of my needs too. Crystal is a character. She's always there when I call, and she immediately jumps in to help. They're very supportive and caring. They treated us like family."

"We saw them on a website that was advertised on TV. They were local, and they sounded good. We decided to try them. They are readily available, and I can call them anytime. They are usually pretty responsive, and the people they provide do a pretty good job. It is just a small part of my mom's life, but they are a part that is important. They take my mom to her hair and nail appointments, and they take her to activities for us. They are responsive and get back to me pretty quickly. They do the best they can to make things happen that I need. They seem to meet my mom's needs. I don't hear any complaints from the place she lives, since my mom has dementia."
