When a person has diabetes, the body’s blood sugar (glucose) builds up above the normal level. When the level of blood sugar is high, diabetes can lead to other health problems like kidney failure, blindness and amputations. To see how well you are controlling your diabetes, it is important that your doctor regularly check your eyes, kidneys, blood sugar and blood pressure. Highly rated PPOs will work with you to help control your diabetes and prevent more health problems.
