Diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting adults and senior citizens. Symptoms of diabetes can greatly impact their overall quality of life, comfort, and independence. We offer Telemedicine services to remotely inform families about the warning signs and risks associated with diabetes and provide relevant healthcare advice. Common risks associated with diabetes you may not have known about include:

• Blindness or other vision problems
  Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina, causing them to swell or leak, leading to blindness in adults and senior citizens. This condition is called Diabetic retinopathy. Learn more about Diabetic retinopathy through our Virtual Urgent Care in Charlotte, North Carolina.
• Tooth decay, cavities, and other oral health issues
  High blood sugar levels also increase the sugar levels in salvia, increasing the buildup of bacteria in plaque, leading to tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
• Anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues
  Changes in blood sugar levels can cause changes in the body that affect mental health. It can cause rapid changes in mood and increase the risk of fatigue, trouble thinking clearly, anxiety, and other associated mental health issues. You can avail of Online Mental Health Counseling to address any mental health concerns.
