Controlling you blood sugars
Why is control important? How do you know when your blood sugar is controlled? What affects good control? What do you do if your blood sugars are not well controlled? These are questions that we can help answer.
Blood sugar monitors and strips
In the last decade, blood glucose self monitoring devices have become easier and faster to use. By monitoring your blood sugar, you can see how food, medication, alcohol, exercise, illness and stress can affect your control. If you need a blood glucose monitor or would like to change your monitor...call for an appointment and we will book a session to meet with you and discuss:
- proper instructions and care
- when and how to record your results
- services available to you, such as lancet disposal and control check on your meter
Foot Care
Good foot care starts with good advice. Staff at our home health store can provide instruction that will help keep your feet healthy. Call for an appointment with a foot care nurse who can provide foot care essentials at a reasonable price.
