Why is Home Care Important in Diabetes Monitoring Support?

Diabetes can develop at any age and may present symptoms that are similar to other conditions, such as:

• Frequent urination

• Excessive thirst

• Extreme hunger

• Fatigue

• Blurry vision

• Slow healing of cuts, bruises, or sores

• Unexplained weight loss even with increased food intake

If these symptoms appear, it's essential to consult a doctor. Regular and diligent monitoring is crucial for controlling diabetes. Home care alleviates the burden of routine management, especially for older individuals who might also face other health challenges like dementia.

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. There are two major types:

• Type 1 Diabetes: The body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells.

• Type 2 Diabetes: The body either does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not respond effectively to insulin.
