Diabetes Q & A
Why is diabetes dangerous?
With pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, your body develops insulin resistance, making it difficult to absorb blood sugar into your cells. High blood sugar levels can cause damage to various tissues in your body and other problems, including:
- Foot wounds and ulcers
- Vision loss
- Impaired kidney function
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Heart disease
Living with diabetes can also be difficult physically and emotionally. With diabetes, your immune system is weakened and you can get sick more easily, glucose isn’t absorbed into your cells so may feel tired all the time, and you have the burden of carrying excess body weight.
Diabetes is also a chronic health issue and requires specific, personalized care to lower your risk of complications. The team at Midwest Integrated Medical Center offers a comprehensive and personal approach to diabetes care, making you part of your treatment plan and empowering you to live a healthy lifestyle.
How does functional medicine help with diabetes?
With the functional medicine approach, your doctor is able to understand the unique complexities of your condition based on your functional lab work, symptoms, and overall health. Using this information, the Midwest Integrated Medical team works with you to identify areas where you can improve your health — like incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet, walking more, or taking nutritional supplements to improve your energy levels.
The team supports you throughout your treatment, providing medical attention, rehabilitation, coaching, and education to improve your overall health. With functional medicine, the team meets you where you’re at and helps you identify realistic and practical steps you can take to move in the direction of better health.
