Many of the home medical supply products we carry are to assist those with diabetes. What is diabetes? Most of the foods we eat can be turned into glucose (sugar) for our individual bodies to use for energy. (Few people realize what a beautiful chemical factory the living God has made in each of us.) The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin. Insulin helps glucose enter the cells of our bodies so it can be energized and perform cell functions. When you have diabetes, your body either does not produce enough insulin, or cannot use the insulin it does produce as well as it should. This causes glucose to build-up in your blood and we all know this build-up can be life threatening. Left untreated, diabetes can cause serious complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, loss of feeling to the hands and feet and lower extremity amputations due to blood flow loss. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. A few home medical supplies including Band-Aids, gauze and other minor items should be in everyone’s home medical supply. Antiseptics and other care items to assist those who may be with you who have diabetes should be included in your home medical supply cabinet. Write us at 1stSeniorCare for your free Products for Health and Wellness catalog (containing nearly 10,000 items ) where we can provide you with the items needed to treat diabetes at a discount.
