What happens if Diabetes is not under control? by Eastex Physician Organization – EPO.

Diabetes continues to be a growing issue across the Golden Triangle.

Southeast Texas diabetics do have an ally in getting both important information about diabetes and in controlling the disease. Eastex Physicians Organization is dedicated to helping combat diabetes across Southeast Texas.

One big issue seen by EPO physicians is the dangers Southeast Texas diabetics face when their diabetes becomes “out of control”.

EPO has provided some information for Southeast Texans with diabetes on what it means when diabetes becomes out of control- and the dangers that arise when this happens.

Out-of-control blood sugar levels can lead to short-term problems like hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Would you like a coordinated approach to your healthcare? EPO can help.

Over time, not controlling diabetes can also damage your blood vessels that supply important organs, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, and your nerves. This means that heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems are greatly increased for Southeast Texas diabetics.

These problems are particularly severe with adults and seniors with diabetes.

The good news is that keeping blood sugar levels under control can help keep Southeast Texas seniors healthy and prevent other severe health problems from happening at a later date.

Hopefully this has answered many of your questions about what can happen when if your diabetes becomes out of control.

East Texas Physician’s Organization (EPO) knows diabetes is a growing problem in our Southeast Texas communities. If you or a loved one would like additional information about diabetes and diabetes control, please call Eastex Physicians Organization: (800) 564-6376.
