Diabetes Care

Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and often life-altering lung disease that causes scarring of the lung tissue, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Expert, Compassionate Support to Help You Live Healthier
 Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body regulates blood sugar (glucose), leading to serious health complications if left unmanaged. While Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes differ in cause and treatment, both require early diagnosis, personalized care, and long-term management to protect overall health and quality of life.
At Premium Healthcare, we provide comprehensive diabetes evaluation and management in Miami and South Florida. Our team works closely with endocrinologists, primary care providers, and specialists to support you every step of the way.

What Is Diabetes?
 Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly produce or use insulin, the hormone responsible for moving glucose into cells for energy. Without effective insulin function, glucose builds up in the blood, causing hyperglycemia and long-term complications.
 There are two primary types:

  • Type 1 Diabetes – an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas; usually diagnosed in children and young adults. 
  • Type 2 Diabetes – the most common form, caused by insulin resistance and often linked to lifestyle, age, and genetics. 
  • Gestational diabetes (during pregnancy) and prediabetes are also related conditions requiring monitoring and care.

Symptoms of Diabetes
 The symptoms of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can appear gradually or suddenly. Common signs include:

  • Frequent urination and excessive thirst 
  • Unexplained weight loss (more common in Type 1) 
  • Increased hunger 
  • Fatigue and irritability 
  • Blurred vision 
  • Slow-healing wounds or frequent infections 
  • Tingling, numbness, or pain in hands and feet 

Because these symptoms can resemble other conditions, a thorough medical evaluation is essential.

Risk Factors
 Several factors can increase your risk of developing diabetes:

  • Family history of diabetes 
  • Obesity and sedentary lifestyle 
  • Age (risk increases over 45, especially for Type 2) 
  • History of gestational diabetes or delivering a large baby 
  • Certain ethnic backgrounds with higher risk (e.g., Hispanic, African American, Native American) 
  • High blood pressure and high cholesterol 

At Premium Healthcare, we carefully assess your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle to identify risk and tailor prevention or management strategies.

How Diabetes Is Diagnosed
 Our team begins with a comprehensive consultation and physical exam. We may recommend the following diagnostic tests:

  • Fasting blood glucose test – measures sugar after an overnight fast 
  • A1C test – reflects average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months 
  • Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) – measures body’s response to sugar intake 
  • Random blood sugar test – evaluates sugar levels at any time 
  • Urine tests – to check for ketones or kidney involvement 

Early and accurate diagnosis helps guide treatment and prevent complications.

Treatment Options for Diabetes
 While there is no cure for Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, effective management can control blood sugar, reduce risks, and support long-term health. We provide and coordinate:

  1. Medication and Insulin Management
  • Insulin therapy for Type 1 diabetes and some advanced Type 2 cases 
  • Oral medications such as metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 receptor agonists for Type 2 diabetes 
  1. Blood Sugar Monitoring
     Self-monitoring and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) help track and manage daily glucose patterns.
  2. Nutrition and Lifestyle Support
     Our care team provides guidance on:
  • Healthy meal planning and portion control 
  • Weight management strategies 
  • Regular exercise tailored to your needs 
  • Smoking cessation and stress management 
  1. Diabetes Education and Support
     Structured programs can:
  • Teach self-care skills and insulin administration 
  • Prevent complications like neuropathy, kidney disease, and vision loss 
  • Support emotional and mental well-being 

5. Advanced Care Planning and Referrals
 For complex cases, we coordinate referrals to endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, podiatrists, and kidney specialists to ensure whole-person care.
