Diabetes

Carolyn initially blamed her swollen feet and lack of energy on arthritis. It wasn’t until she visited an Endocrinologist that she learned she was living with diabetes. Determined to face her diagnosis head on, Carolyn immediately enrolled in diabetes education classes at the Hillcrest Center for Diabetes Management and began making major life changes. Today, she feels better than she has in years.

In his sixties, Van thought his active lifestyle was enough to stay healthy. He didn’t worry about what he ate until his doctor noticed high blood sugar levels. That was when Van turned to the Hillcrest Center for Diabetes Management. Not only did he learn portion control, he now understands how to count sugars, read food labels, and make healthier food choices. Down nearly 50 lbs, Van is proof that you’re never too old to make healthy changes.
