Diabetes Home Care<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When a senior loved one is living with diabetes, having a trained Amada caregiver can support their efforts to manage symptoms and avoid hypoglycemia.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not surprising that families often feel helpless when their senior loved ones are diagnosed with diabetes. A diagnosis can be scary, because without proper medical care and lifestyle changes, diabetes can lead to health conditions such as heart disease, Alzheimer\u2019s, stroke, kidney disease, hypertension and others. Treating geriatric diabetes (when a patient is age 65 and older) has additional challenges, so it\u2019s no wonder families can quickly become overwhelmed with caregiving tasks. Senior patients often already have one or more other conditions and may be taking numerous medications a day to manage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Families caregivers in Alamo, Berkeley, Concord, Lafayette, Moraga, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, and beyond understand that caring for a senior diabetic means they must be keenly observant to help their loved one avoid a hypoglycemic crisis. An Amada Senior Care caregiver trained to give non-medical support can provide an extra level of vigilance to help seniors self-manage their diabetes symptoms and avoid a hospital visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there\u2019s no cure for diabetes, its impact can be reduced when patients follow a healthy diet and lifestyle, take their medications, and keep appointments with their healthcare team. Amada caregivers understand that reminding seniors to take their prescribed insulin medication, conduct an HBA1C self-test at scheduled times, and self-check their skin and mouth health are key when it comes to aiding seniors with protecting their overall health. The dedicated support of a trained Amada caregiver can thus significantly improve care outcomes for seniors living with diabetes in Alamo, Berkeley, Concord, Lafayette, Moraga, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of their training, Amada Senior Care caregivers:<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
