Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes affects how the body turns food into energy, and it requires steady daily management to keep blood sugar in a safe range. For older adults, uncontrolled diabetes can lead to nerve damage, vision loss, slow-healing wounds, and hospital stays. Consistent monitoring, proper medication, and good nutrition make the difference. Diabetes care at home brings that consistency to your loved one’s daily routine, with a registered nurse watching the details that are easy to miss alone.

We Work With Your Physician

All diabetes care at home is provided under a physician’s plan of care. A doctor’s order is required for the clinical services our nurses perform, including insulin administration and medication changes. Our registered nurses collaborate directly with your physician, follow current doctor’s orders, and report any change in blood sugar patterns or condition. Your doctor stays in control of the care plan while our nurses handle the hands-on work at home.

What to Watch For and When to Call the Doctor

Families supporting a loved one with diabetes should watch for warning signs and know when to call. Contact your nurse or physician promptly if you notice:

• Confusion, shakiness, sweating, or unusual fatigue, which can signal low blood sugar.
• Excessive thirst, frequent urination, or blurred vision, which can signal high blood sugar.
• Cuts, redness, or sores on the feet that are slow to heal.
• Blood sugar readings that fall outside the target range your physician set.
• Missed insulin or medication doses.
• Fever, or signs of infection or dehydration.
