Diabetes Prevention & Management

Diabetes affects 18.2 million people in the United States. It can lead to cardiovascular disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death and serious disability.

Preventing a chronic disease such as diabetes is important. Care Choices can provide information and support to help you prevent diabetes through lifestyle changes. Should you develop diabetes, we can help you, along with your primary care doctor, to effectively manage diabetes and minimize its impact on your daily life.

Poorly managed diabetes can result in long-term complications such as eye disease, kidney failure, cardiovascular disease and even amputation. We believe that following your doctor’s recommended treatment plan is important. We also know that taking an active role in protecting your health is key to staying healthy.
