Diabetes care

Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body produces too little insulin or does not use insulin effectively to keep blood sugar (glucose) from accumulating in the body. Over time, high blood glucose levels can cause serious health problems such as blindness, kidney disease, heart disease and stroke.

We help adults and children with diabetes live their lives to the fullest every day.
