Diabetes
Active Day medical adult day care centers offer a diabetes care program that takes a proactive approach to managing symptoms and preventing complications.
A primary aspect of our care plan for clients with diabetes is helping them to maintain blood glucose at near-normal levels. Our staff help diabetic clients control blood glucose levels by:
- Performing or providing assistance with glucose testing
- Evaluating self-monitoring techniques
- Administering oral medications and insulin as needed
- Providing a structured environment
- Reinforcing the importance of diet, exercise and medication
- Providing nutritionally balanced meals and snacks that are low in salt, fat and sugar
- Encouraging the client to engage in physical activity
- Observing the client for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia
- Identifying other potential complications
