Whether you, or someone you know, has been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, Type 1, or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Dr. Teri Fisher, MD, shares his top tips and tricks to help you better manage the diagnosis, and make sure that you live your healthiest life. Learn more about what diabetes is and how you can stay in control of your life by tuning in daily for a diabetes tip in this flash briefing by Voice First Health.
We cover all the key topics: diagnosis, treatment, risk factors, oral medications, insulin (and insulin pumps), tests (what is that elusive hemoglobin A1C anyway?!) lifestyle modifications (exercise, smoking cessation, and nutrition, to name just a few) and much more. Whether you are an insulin-dependant (IDDM) or non insulin dependant (NIDDM) diabetic, this is a treasure trove of information that you can apply to your life right away so you can optimize your care right now. Wondering what a diabetic care plan should look like? We’ve got you covered as well – foot care, monitoring your blood sugar (glucose) and HbA1C, and having your eyes checked regularly are just a sampling of what we cover. Learn how to decrease the risk of diabetes complications, such as cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, and kidney disease. And that’s just the beginning of what we have in store for you!
Just say, “Alexa, enable Diabetes Tips by Voice First Health” and start taking control of your diabetes today!
