Healthcare – Because caring is also an act of love
🩺 Diabetes Week: A Call to Care for Our Seniors with Love Caretruly Healthcare – Because caring is also an act of love
Every year, Diabetes Week reminds us of the importance of talking about, preventing, and supporting those living with this condition. At Caretruly Healthcare, as an agency specialized in caring for older adults, we understand that diabetes is not just a silent disease It’s a condition that can deeply affect the physical, emotional, and social quality of life, especially in older age.
Caring for an older adult with diabetes requires more than medical knowledge: it takes empathy, patience, and genuine love. That’s why, during this meaningful week, we want to share key information, practical tips, and show how our work can make a real difference in the lives of seniors and their families.
Why does diabetes impact older adults so much?
The body changes with age. The way we metabolize sugar, respond to insulin, and even our daily routines all shift. This makes type 2 diabetes very common in people over 65. Many times, symptoms are hard to detect or are confused with typical aging issues: fatigue, blurry vision, slowness, or weight loss.
But diabetes is not just about blood sugar. It also affects:
The nervous system (diabetic neuropathy).
Vision (retinopathy).
The kidneys (nephropathy).
Circulation and wound healing.
Mood, leading to depression or anxiety.
The risk of falls due to low blood sugar or weakness.
That’s why a comprehensive, continuous, and loving approach is essential.
💙 What does Caretruly Healthcare do for seniors with diabetes?
At Caretruly Healthcare, we don’t just provide care services we build trust. Our approach goes beyond medical protocol. We focus on the person: their emotions, habits, life story, and overall well-being. Here are some ways we support those living with diabetes every day:
Personalized and balanced meals.
Each person is unique. Our caregivers are trained to prepare and supervise healthy diets tailored to each patient’s nutritional needs, while respecting their tastes and culture.
Medication supervision and organization.
Diabetes often requires taking multiple medications daily. Our team helps with reminders, administration (when appropriate), and follow-up to avoid missed doses or errors.
Foot care and wound prevention.
One of the most serious diabetes risks is wounds that don’t heal. We teach daily foot checks and provide skin care with special attention to avoid infections and hospitalizations.
Adapted physical activity.
We know movement is key to managing diabetes. We motivate and accompany seniors in safe routines to help them stay active, energized, and in better spirits.
Blood sugar monitoring.
We support glucose control with devices or manual logs and alert the doctor if there are concerning changes.
Emotional companionship and active listening.
Loneliness and isolation impact diabetes control. We provide conversation, memory games, music, walks, or simply moments of presence—because caring with love also means being there.
👨👩👧👦 Family support and education
At Caretruly Healthcare, we believe care begins at home. That’s why we also guide families with clear information and practical tools:
How to recognize warning signs: tremors, confusion, weakness, irritability, etc.
What to do in case of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
How to prepare suitable meals without complications.
How to communicate with a loved one without causing resistance or distress.
How to adapt the home for greater safety.
