Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose or sugar levels are
too high. Diabetes can occur in two types of scenarios:
Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes.
If not treated properly, diabetes can damage your eyes, kidneys
and nerves and can even lead to heart disease, stroke and the removal of
limbs. The staff at
wellLIFE
Diabetes Clinic and Educational Resource Center is dedicated to
educating our clients on the best care possible to getting treatment for
these life-alerting illnesses.
The symptoms of diabetes include
fatigue, thirst, weight loss, blurred vision, tinkling of fingers and
frequent urination. At

we know the symptoms, the tests that should be performed, and the
solution to controlling your diabetes and reversing your condition.
We emphasize proper medication intake, glucose level monitoring,
consistent meal plans, exercise, and weight control. To assist, we
provide educational materials to increase knowledge and understanding
about diabetes.
