Diabetes Management
Ongoing support for managing diabetes — reviewing your numbers, medications, and daily habits with a Level Up provider.
Common Concerns We Can Help With
Diabetes follow-up visits may include: • Blood glucose review • A1C review • Medication review • Nutrition and activity discussion • Home monitoring guidance • Treatment follow-up • Lab review • Blood pressure and cholesterol considerations, when appropriate Whether telehealth is appropriate depends on your condition, symptoms, medical history, and your provider's clinical judgment.
What a Virtual Visit May Include
Your provider will review your recent blood glucose readings or continuous glucose monitor data, your A1C if available, and how you've been feeling. Treatment recommendations depend on your symptoms, medical history, available examination findings, and provider judgment. Target blood glucose and A1C goals vary from person to person based on age, other health conditions, and individual risk — there is no single number that applies to everyone.
What Your Provider May Review
Your provider may review your glucose logs, A1C results, current medications, diet and activity patterns, and related risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol, then discuss any adjustments to your plan.
When In-Person or Emergency Care May Be Needed
Routine telehealth follow-up is not a substitute for emergency care during a diabetic emergency. Seek emergency care right away for signs of severe low blood sugar (confusion, loss of consciousness, inability to eat or drink), signs of severe high blood sugar, or symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis such as fruity-smelling breath, difficulty breathing, vomiting, or severe fatigue.
Virtual urgent care is not intended for medical emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
