Managing Diabetes with Telehealth
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it does produce. This leads to high blood sugar levels, which can cause serious health issues if not managed properly.
Is Telehealth Right for Diabetes Management?
Telehealth is ideal for regular consultations, medication management, and lifestyle advice. It allows for ongoing monitoring and support without the need for frequent in-person visits, although regular blood tests and physical exams may still be necessary.
When to Use Telehealth for Diabetes
- Medication Review: Discuss and adjust insulin or oral medications with a Nurse Practitioner.
- Lifestyle Advice: Get personalised recommendations on diet, exercise, and blood sugar monitoring.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular check-ins to monitor blood sugar levels and overall health.
How Telehealth Works
- Convenient Access: Schedule and attend consultations from your home.
- Personalised Care: Receive tailored advice based on your diabetes management needs.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Stay on track with regular telehealth follow-ups and support.
