More than 400,000 people in Oklahoma have diabetes and more than 1 million have prediabetes. The team at Grassroots Healthcare in Tulsa, Oklahoma, teaches you how to manage your diabetes naturally to reduce your need for medication. They also offer treatments to prevent your prediabetes from turning into diabetes.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that causes an abnormal rise in blood sugar. The sugar in your blood comes from the food you eat and provides your body with the energy it needs to run. Insulin is a hormone made in your pancreas that helps get the sugar from your blood to your cells to supply the needed energy.
If you have diabetes, either your body isn’t making enough insulin or the insulin you’re making isn’t working as it should.
The types of diabetes include:
Type 2 diabetes is more prevalent than Type 1, and you may be at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes if you’re overweight or have a family history of the disease.
Prediabetes is a medical term that indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to warrant a diabetes diagnosis. Making changes to your lifestyle may prevent your prediabetes from turning into diabetes.
Lifestyle changes may include:
Our team at Grassroots Healthcare can help you with these changes to reduce your risk and improve your overall health.
Symptoms of diabetes vary depending on the type of diabetes you have. Symptoms usually come on quickly and severely in Type 1 diabetes, but in Type 2 diabetes the symptoms can be so subtle you may not notice them.
Common symptoms of diabetes include:
Type 2 diabetes can be prevented if you stay on top of your health with your annual visits to Grassroots. Through a physical assessment and blood test, the team at Grassroots may be able to detect the signs of prediabetes and help you make changes to prevent the onset of the chronic condition.
Grassroots Healthcare takes a holistic approach to the management of diabetes. Our goal is to minimize your need for pharmaceutical medication for blood-sugar management. Our team helps you gain control over your blood sugar by teaching you how to eat to maintain blood sugar levels.
If you’re overweight or obese, Grassroots offers a weight-management program to assist with weight loss. This also helps improve blood sugar levels.
