Our diabetes management program at Zeam Health & Wellness focuses on personalized care and ongoing support to help manage your diabetes effectively. Our team works closely with you to monitor your health and adjust treatments as needed.
Diabetes is a long-term health condition characterized by higher-than-average blood glucose (blood sugar) numbers. Glucose comes from food, serving as the preferred energy source for all the cells in your body.
After digestion, glucose enters the bloodstream, triggering the release of insulin from your pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that allows the cells in your tissues and organs to absorb the glucose from the bloodstream.
If you have diabetes, you have too much glucose in your blood because your body isn’t making enough (or any) insulin, or the insulin isn’t working as it should.
Excess glucose in the blood affects almost every organ and tissue in your body, increasing your risk of developing other health problems. But with care from the team at Zeam Health & Wellness, you can take control of your diabetes, reducing the risk of complications.
Diabetes type depends on the underlying cause of the changes in insulin production or function. Common types of diabetes include:
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with this type of diabetes no longer make insulin and must take insulin injections.
With Type 2 diabetes, your insulin isn’t working as it should, so glucose stays in the bloodstream. Type 2 diabetes is more common than Type 1 diabetes.
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops in women during pregnancy. Like Type 2 diabetes, higher-than-average blood glucose numbers occur because of problems with insulin function.
The Zeam Health & Wellness team takes a personalized approach to diabetes care. Treatment for your diabetes depends on the type, blood glucose numbers, and diabetes-related complications.
The team works with you, developing a plan that helps you stay in control of your diabetes and health. Diabetes treatment may include:
Learning to manage your diabetes takes time, and no single treatment or tool works for all.
The team at Zeam Health & Wellness understands the many factors that influence blood glucose numbers and provide all the tools available to support your specific health requirements.
