Type 2 Diabetes

Control your blood sugar with Premium Healthcare’s diabetes care in Miami, FL. Personalized plans and same-day lab testing.

Type 2 Diabetes is one of the most significant chronic conditions impacting the health of Miami-Dade’s population. Hispanic adults are nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed compared to non-Hispanic whites. At Premium Healthcare, we understand the local dietary, cultural, and economic factors that contribute to this epidemic.

We provide full-spectrum diabetes management services that go beyond basic glucose checks. Our approach includes:

  • Immediate diagnostic testing: A1C, fasting blood glucose, and urinalysis
  • Tailored medication plans (including insulin therapy, GLP-1, and SGLT2 options)
  • Lifestyle intervention programs focused on diet, exercise, and stress management
  • Nutritional counseling with bilingual support
  • Access to endocrinologists and diabetes educators

Our in-house lab allows for same-day test results and care adjustments. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or managing complications like neuropathy, retinopathy, or foot ulcers, we provide integrated, holistic care under one roof.

A Local Epidemic Requiring Community-Focused Care

Type 2 Diabetes is one of the most pressing chronic health conditions affecting the residents of Miami-Dade County and surrounding South Florida communities. This condition occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Over time, it can lead to serious complications such as nerve damage (neuropathy), vision problems (retinopathy), kidney disease, cardiovascular complications, and even limb amputation.

In South Florida, and particularly among Hispanic and Latino populations, the rates of Type 2 Diabetes are disproportionately high. According to national health statistics, Hispanic adults are nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with diabetes compared to non-Hispanic whites. This disparity is driven by a combination of genetic predispositions, traditional high-carbohydrate diets, sedentary lifestyles, and limited access to preventative care and education.

At Premium Healthcare, we recognize that diabetes management is not one-size-fits-all. We offer a comprehensive, culturally-sensitive, and bilingual approach that considers the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence your health. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or struggling with long-term diabetes complications, our goal is to help you live a healthier, longer, and more empowered life.

Understanding Type 2 Diabetes: What It Means for You

Type 2 Diabetes develops gradually and often goes unnoticed in the early stages. By the time symptoms appear—such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, or slow-healing wounds—blood sugar levels may already be dangerously high.

If left untreated or poorly managed, diabetes can contribute to:

  • Peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain or numbness, especially in the feet and hands)

  • Diabetic retinopathy (vision loss)

  • Kidney damage (nephropathy)

  • Increased risk of heart attack and stroke

  • Foot ulcers and infections that can lead to amputation

  • Complications during pregnancy (gestational diabetes)

That’s why early detection, consistent monitoring, and proactive treatment are critical.

Our Comprehensive Diabetes Care at Premium Healthcare

We are committed to providing integrated, full-spectrum diabetes care under one roof—so you can get the support you need without navigating a maze of referrals or appointments.

1. Immediate Diagnostic Testing

We offer on-site diagnostic tests with same-day results, including:

  • Hemoglobin A1C (a 3-month average of your blood sugar levels)

  • Fasting blood glucose tests

  • Urinalysis to check for kidney function and protein levels

This allows us to detect diabetes early, identify prediabetes, and tailor your treatment plan without delay.

2. Personalized Medication Management

There is no universal medication for diabetes. Your treatment is based on your lifestyle, A1C levels, age, and other medical conditions. We provide access to:

  • Metformin for first-line control

  • GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as Ozempic or Trulicity), which aid with weight loss and blood sugar control

  • SGLT2 inhibitors to help the kidneys remove excess glucose

  • Insulin therapy when needed for tighter control

Our bilingual medical team works closely with you to educate you on how your medications work and how to take them properly.

3. Lifestyle & Behavioral Intervention Programs

Diabetes management involves more than just taking pills—it’s about retraining your habits. At Premium Healthcare, we offer:

  • Culturally-tailored nutrition plans based on your dietary preferences

  • Exercise programs designed to improve insulin sensitivity

  • Behavioral health referrals for stress and emotional eating support

  • Smoking cessation and alcohol moderation counseling

Even small lifestyle changes—like reducing sugary beverages or walking after meals—can result in meaningful health improvements.

4. Nutritional Counseling with Bilingual Support

Our in-house nutritionists and diabetes educators provide one-on-one support in English and Spanish, helping you understand:

  • How food affects your blood sugar

  • How to read food labels and control portion sizes

  • How to prepare culturally familiar meals with a healthier twist

  • How to plan meals that align with your work or family routines

Food is a powerful tool in managing diabetes—and we’ll make it approachable and realistic.

5. Access to Endocrinologists & Specialty Support

For more complex cases or advanced diabetes complications, we coordinate care with board-certified endocrinologists and specialists in:

  • Eye care (retinopathy monitoring)

  • Nephrology (kidney health)

  • Wound care and podiatry (for diabetic foot concerns)

Our team-based model ensures that your care is seamless and your outcomes are continually monitored.
