Diabetes is a condition that has affected more than 10 million U.S. citizens that are aged 65 and above. If left undiagnosed and untreated, diabetes can cause serious health conditions including blindness, nerve damage, and heart disease.

The good news is that with proper management and care, the disease can be controlled. The key to managing diabetes lies in keeping blood sugar levels as normal as possible. This can be a bit difficult for most seniors especially when they already have other health conditions.

At Nest & Care, we know that taking care of a senior with diabetes can be a bit of a challenge because the daily regime usually is very strict – what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat throughout the day. That is why we have assembled a special team of highly trained individuals ready to provide diabetes support by offering a broad range of services to give your loved one the opportunity to live life normally.

Some of the services that come with this program include:

• Full assessment of the client’s condition before the start of care
• Collaboration with the client’s physician
• Meal and exercise regimen planning
• Medication management and Insulin administration
• Dietary Counseling
• Ongoing monitoring of blood sugar levels
• And more
