Most people with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes. If you\u2019re living with diabetes, the right care can enhance your quality of life and well-being.

Call or schedule a consultation online with one of our three San Antonio locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Diabetes causes sugar, or glucose, to build up in your blood. This can lead to serious health problems, such as kidney disease and neuropathy. With the right care, you can still enjoy a great quality of life with diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n Diabetes occurs when your body doesn\u2019t use insulin properly (Type 2), or doesn\u2019t make insulin at all (Type 1). When this happens, the amount of sugar in your blood spikes to an unhealthy level.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Most people with diabetes have Type 2. Both Type 1 and Type 2 produce some of the same warning signs, including these common ones:<\/span><\/p>\n With Type 1, you may lose weight even when you\u2019re not dieting. With Type 2, you may feel tingling or numbness in your hands or feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Typically, you need a blood test. This measures the amount of blood sugar, or glucose levels. Your doctor at Dominion Health may recommend one of these tests for you:<\/span><\/p>\n The results help your doctor determine whether you have diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n A healthy range for your blood sugar is important. A blood sugar level that drops too low interferes with your ability to think and function normally. A blood sugar level that remains too high can cause serious damage to your health over the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n Your doctor at Dominion Health helps you explore all avenues of treatment. Medications are typically necessary for you to remain in the best health, particularly if you have Type 1 diabetes. With Type 1, your body doesn\u2019t make insulin, so you\u2019ll need insulin to replace what you\u2019re missing.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, your doctor may discuss the various kinds of medications that work in distinct ways to lower your blood sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re ready to take a step for your long-term health today, call or book a consultation online with Dominion Health.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”4_4″ width=”90%” max_width=”1200px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”40px|30px|40px|30px|false|true”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.7em” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”32px” header_2_text_color=”#1b3f82″ header_3_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_3_font_size=”24px” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ link_text_color=”#1b3f82″]<\/p>\n Managing diabetes works best with a care team that knows you.
