healthy living with diabetes
As a means to control diabetes and prevent related health problems such as limb amputation or blindness, the Diabetes & Wound Care Center provides patients detailed instruction on blood sugar management, medication usage/precautions, exercise, nutrition and stress management. Instruction is geared toward the individual's type and scope of diabetes.
