Long-Term Health Problems Can Be Hard to Manage Alone
Diabetes, high cholesterol, and weight concerns often need daily attention.
You may need to track numbers, take medicine, change how you eat, or keep up with several appointments. It can feel like your health is always on your mind.
A clear care plan can make each step feel more manageable.
Conditions We Help Manage
Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes
Diabetes affects how your body uses sugar for energy. Pre-diabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but has not reached the level used to diagnose diabetes.
Possible signs may include:
- Feeling very thirsty
- Needing to urinate often
- Feeling tired
- Blurry vision
- Slow-healing cuts
- Tingling or numbness
- Changes in weight
Some people may not notice symptoms. Health screenings can help find changes in blood sugar.
CDP Health can help with diabetes counseling, education, self-management, nutrition support, and ongoing condition management.
High Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood. Your body needs some cholesterol, but too much of certain types can affect your heart and blood vessels.
High cholesterol usually does not cause clear symptoms. A blood test is needed to check your levels.
Your care team can help you:
- Understand your cholesterol numbers
- Review factors that may affect your levels
- Build healthier eating habits
- Track changes over time
- Manage your heart health
- Decide if more care is needed
