There is an epidemic of obesity in this country which is driving an epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This disease is largely a lifestyle disease, but it a serious disease none-the-less. The good news is that there are many new treatments designed to improve glycemic control and to improve quality of life.
If you are not achieving your glycemic goals, or your hemoglobin A1c remains above 7% despite your best efforts, take the time out to see a specialist. Remember, uncontrolled diabetes can lead to blindness, accelerated atherosclerosis, kidney failure, and loss of limbs.
The physicians of Advocare Endocrinology Associates are at the forefront of diabetes care. We provide onsite Hemoglobin A1c testing, continuous glucose monitoring, advanced diabetes management with insulin pumps, and comprehensive diabetes education.
