Diabetes is a long term condition where the body has trouble controlling blood sugar. This happens when the body does not make enough insulin or cannot use it properly. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into the body’s cells for energy, so when it doesn’t work well, blood sugar levels become too high. After being diagnosed, you will receive support to learn about healthy lifestyle choices, set personal goals, and create an action plan to achieve them. Training will be provided for injections and insulin adjustments if needed. Ongoing appointments will be available to support you, and you can be connected to community resources for additional help.
