Diabetes Care in Lancaster, CA
Family First Medical Practice of Lancaster, CA takes diabetes seriously. It is a chronic health condition that effects over 30 million people in America and dramatically changes the way that your body turns food into energy.
Normally, food you eat is broken down into sugar and insulin, produced in your pancreas, and released to turn these sugars into usable energy. When diabetes strikes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or utilize it properly, leading to a dangerous rise in blood sugar that can hurt your body in irreparable ways.
Without proper treatment, diabetes can cause heart disease, kidney disease and even vision loss. While there is no cure for diabetes, there are many ways to help deal with the disease and improve your quality of life. Learn more about these options below.
