Some of the most common signs and symptoms of diabetes include the following:
The frequency of visits will depend on your individual needs and the recommendations of your physician. Typically, people with diabetes are advised to see their diabetes physician every 3 to 6 months for regular check-ups, but this can vary based on factors such as your diabetes control, overall health, and any specific concerns.
Managing blood sugar levels involves a combination of medication (if prescribed), healthy eating, regular physical activity, monitoring blood sugar levels, and making appropriate lifestyle adjustments. Your Asheville diabetes physician can provide guidance on all these aspects and work with you to develop a personalized plan.
Regular physical activity is crucial for managing diabetes. Exercise helps lower blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, control weight, and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.
We are fully equipped in handling efficient, cost-conscious services available to meet your patient needs. If a same-day appointment is needed, call our office as we will take current patients on an emergency-case basis.
