How does my provider help manage diabetes?

Babara diagnoses and helps you manage diabetes using a simple blood test that evaluates your blood sugar levels. Treating diabetes may consist of using an insulin pump, taking insulin injections, making lifestyle changes, or taking oral medications. 

How can I control hypertension?

Controlling high blood pressure also involves adopting healthy habits, such as maintaining an ideal weight, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and minimizing stress. You might also take blood pressure-lowering medications. 

What happens during primary care visits?

During primary care visits, Babara discusses the reason for your appointment. She evaluates your weight, blood pressure, and other vital signs and completes a physical exam to look for visible signs of medical problems.

You might undergo diagnostic tests that screen for health concerns or the root cause of bothersome symptoms. Babara may suggest blood testing, urine tests, imaging procedures, heart- or lung-function testing, or other procedures.

If you need treatment, she provides recommendations, medication prescriptions, vaccinations, minor in-office procedures, referrals, and other options. 

When should I schedule primary care appointments?

Schedule primary care appointments yearly to complete basic health screenings or anytime you need a physical for school, work, or sports. See Babara if you get injured, become ill, need help managing a disease, or develop unusual symptoms.
