Treating Diabetes
There is no cure for diabetes. Treatment involves diet, exercise, and medications to prolong life, control blood sugar, reduce symptoms, and prevent diabetes-related complications such as blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, and amputation of limbs.
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare’s Diabetes Management Program helps individuals with diabetes learn and understand how to effectively manage their condition. Diabetes educators, together with physicians, help patients manage their metabolic challenges, lipid levels, and blood pressure.
