Understanding Diabetes
Education begins with understanding the basics of diabetes.

We can help you create a medication schedule and provide reminders to ensure you take your prescribed medications as directed.
Blood Sugar Monitoring
Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is crucial for diabetes management. Your Home Assistant can teach you how to use a glucometer, interpret your blood sugar readings, and track your levels effectively. We can also assist in maintaining a log of your readings, making it easier to identify patterns and share this information with your healthcare provider.
