At Hemphill County Hospital District, we want you to have the facts so you can make the best decision for your health and coverage.

Your care matters. Your choice matters. Be informed. 💙

This 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, take time to focus on these four key health indicators:

👉 𝗚𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗼𝘀𝗲: As the primary source of energy for our body's cells, consistent and healthy glucose levels are pivotal. For those with diabetes, keeping glucose levels within a target range is crucial to prevent complications.

👉 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲: Elevated blood pressure can cause damage to the blood vessels, especially in individuals with diabetes. This can lead to several complications, including kidney disease and heart issues. Regular monitoring and management reduces risks substantially.

👉 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗹: People with diabetes often have elevated cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Balancing the types of cholesterol in your blood is an integral part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle with diabetes.

👉 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗔𝗽𝗻𝗲𝗮: Sleep plays a vital role in restoring the body’s natural balance. Sleep apnea deprives the body of oxygen, which has a direct negative impact on glucose and insulin levels. The correlation between sleep apnea and diabetes is astounding.

At Harvester Family Medical Clinic, our skilled team is on hand to provide insights, care, and personalized strategies to manage glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, and sleep apnea effectively.
