Diabetes Home Care Services

Being diagnosed with diabetes - or managing complications from it - can be life-changing. At Banner Health, our diabetes home care educators and nurses provide the in-home support you need to confidently manage your condition and regain independence. 

Our team helps you build skills for daily management, including medication use, blood sugar monitoring, healthy eating and lifestyle changes. All of our diabetes programs are recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for quality and education. 

Understanding diabetes 

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. When blood glucose (sugar) levels stay too high, it can impact how your body uses insulin - the hormone that moves glucose into your cells for energy. 

Without proper management, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, vision loss and nerve problems. But with the right care, medication and support, you can live a healthy, active life.

Who can benefit from home diabetes care 

You may benefit from in-home diabetes care if you: 

  • Have had frequent hospitalizations related to diabetes 
  • Have diabetic wounds, ulcers or infections 
  • Are new to insulin therapy or using multiple medications 
  • Have other underlying conditions that make clinic visits difficult 
  • Need help learning to self-manage diabetes safely 

If this sounds like you or a loved one, talk to your doctor about a referral to Banner Home Health’s diabetes program. 

What’s included in diabetes home care 

Our experienced nurses and diabetes educators provide comprehensive in-home services tailored to your needs: 

Medication management 

We help you take medications safely and recognize symptoms of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)—so you can act quickly if needed. 

Nutrition and fitness coaching 

Our team helps you apply your doctor’s recommendations at home. A typical plan includes a balanced diet low in simple carbohydrates and at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity to help manage blood sugar levels. 

Blood glucose monitoring 

We teach you how to check your blood sugar, understand your readings and adjust your routine as needed to stay in range. 

Foot health education 

People with diabetes should perform regular foot checks to avoid infections and ulcers. Our educators show you how to prevent problems and spot early warning signs.
