What is diabetes management?

Diabetes affects how your body processes sugar, leading to consistently high blood sugar levels that can damage organs and blood vessels over time. At Premier MedSpa, diabetes management involves developing strategies to keep your blood sugar within a healthy range.

Dr. Chakeer's comprehensive approach monitors how medications, daily activities, and other health factors influence your blood sugar, helping prevent serious complications while maintaining your quality of life.

Why is diabetes management essential?

When diabetes isn’t properly managed, high blood sugar silently damages your organs and blood vessels over time. It can lead to serious health complications over time, such as:

• Heart disease and stroke
• Neuropathy (nerve damage)
• Kidney disease 
• Vision problems and blindness
• Slow-healing wounds and infections
• Foot problems, including ulcers and amputation risk

Dr. Chakeer’s comprehensive management approach catches potential issues early, helping you stay healthy and active while avoiding diabetes-related complications.
