Diabetes is a chronic illness that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Hundreds of millions of people are affected by diabetes worldwide, and the National Institutes of Health calls diabetes a “major public health problem that is approaching epidemic proportions globally.”
Managing Diabetes: The CNS Diabetic Program
Managing diabetes can be challenging — especially for individuals who are homebound and without consistent caregiving support. At CNS Home Health, we understand the critical importance of safe and consistent diabetes management. That’s why we offer a specialized Diabetic Program designed to bring expert nursing care directly to the homes of those who need it most.
Through this program, licensed nurses visit daily to:
- Administer insulin to patients who cannot safely test their blood sugar, draw up insulin, or inject it themselves.
- Monitor blood glucose levels and adjust care plans as needed.
- Manage all prescribed medications, ensuring patients are receiving them safely and effectively.
This program is ideal for patients who:
- Have Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan
- Are homebound
- Are unable to manage their diabetes independently
- Lack a consistent caregiver to assist with daily diabetes care
Many of our patients reside in assisted living facilities, where our nurses work closely with staff to ensure seamless, coordinated care.
At CNS Home Health, we’re committed to helping our patients live healthier, safer lives — right in the comfort of their own homes.
