Request care via phone, website, or app and our extensively trained professionals will be at your home within a matter of hours to help.
Diabetes is associated with cardiovascular disease, nerve problems, vision loss, kidney disease, and other medical issues. These issues can make traveling to a traditional healthcare facility difficult and frustrating. Another common and troubling symptom of Diabetic Ketoacidosis from Diabetes is hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar. When this occurs in diabetic patients, it can cause frequent urination, unquenchable thirst, abdominal pain, headaches and more. All of these symptoms combined makes for a challenging trek to even the nearest urgent care location.
