Living with diabetes requires careful management of blood sugar levels, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications. At Amy’s Eden, our caregivers are knowledgeable in diabetes management and can provide valuable assistance to people living with diabetes.
Our caregivers offer support in various aspects of diabetes management, including:
Blood Glucose Monitoring: Our caregivers are trained to assist seniors with blood glucose monitoring, helping them monitor their blood sugar levels accurately and regularly. They can guide them on proper techniques for testing blood glucose levels, recordkeeping, and interpreting the results.
Medication Administration: Medication adherence is essential for diabetes management. Our caregivers can assist people with medication administration, ensuring that prescribed diabetes medications, such as insulin or oral medications, are taken according to the prescribed schedule. They can also provide reminders for medication refills and coordinate with healthcare professionals for prescription management.
Healthy Meal Planning: Our caregivers can provide support in developing healthy meal plans that meet the dietary requirements of clients with diabetes. They can assist with meal preparation, ensuring that meals are well-balanced, nutritious, and aligned with the individual’s dietary guidelines. Our caregivers can also offer guidance on portion control, carbohydrate counting, and making healthier food choices.
Lifestyle Support: Managing diabetes involves adopting a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and stress management. Our caregivers can provide support in incorporating physical exercise into daily routines, encouraging seniors to engage in suitable activities based on their abilities and preferences. They can also offer companionship and emotional support, promoting stress reduction and overall well-being.
Collaboration with Healthcare Team: Our caregivers work closely with our client’s healthcare teams, including physicians, nurses, and diabetes educators, to ensure comprehensive and coordinated diabetes care. They can assist in scheduling medical appointments, accompanying our clients to healthcare visits, and relaying relevant information between the individual, family, and healthcare professionals.
