Get Care

It is not easy looking after the day-to-day needs of your diabetes. Everything in life can affect your diabetes and diabetes can affect every part of your life. Although, managing your diabetes is your personal responsibility, getting help and advice from your medical provider is important too.

It’s important that you keep your appointments, understand the words commonly used when talking about diabetes, and keep in mind that there are many resources available to you to help you better understand your condition.

Keeping appointments with your healthcare providers is an important way of avoiding health problems. Staying up-to-date on your lab tests, screenings and clinic appointments gives you a chance to see how you’re managing your diabetes, ask questions and make changes to your care plan, if needed.

You are an important member of your healthcare team. Each visit with your diabetes care team can make you feel better and stronger about controlling your diabetes. And you now have more options for staying in touch with your care team, such as shared medical appointments and MyChart.
