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.
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.
