Diabetes Management That Puts You in Control
- Early Detection and Screening
-
You can lower your risk of getting diabetes. At AdventHealth Dade City, we’re here to help you understand your diabetes risk factors with comprehensive education programs and resources to teach you about this disease — and how to prevent or overcome it.
We also offer screenings for all types of diabetes. This includes measuring the levels of glucose in your bloodstream.
Our comprehensive testing includes:- An A1C test, which diagnoses type 1 and type 2 diabetes with a simple blood test
- Casual plasma glucose test, which is a screening for blood sugar
- Fasting plasma glucose test, which is a precise test that requires you to avoid all food or drinks for eight hours
- Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), where you ingest glucose and have levels tested afterward
If you test positive for diabetes, we'll work with you to start a process of healing with a personalized treatment plan created just for you.

- Living With Diabetes
-
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, you aren’t alone. We’re here for you with a program proven to help you reverse, improve and regain control of your diabetes.
Our participants see an average two-point drop in A1C and a seven- to eight-pound weight loss over four months while using our program.
You’ll work with a specialized team of doctors, certified diabetes educators, registered dietitians and diabetes nurse educators. Our comprehensive diabetes management program can help you:
- Get moving with regular exercise
- Learn about the impact of good nutrition
- Monitor blood glucose levels
- Plan healthy meals and snacks

You’ll get the care, tools and education you need to manage your diabetes. You can talk with others who share your journey through our weekly diabetes support groups. They’re free and feature a different health topic and speaker every week. You don’t have to feel alone in your healing journey when you can share your experience with others.
- Insurance Coverage and Eligibility
-
If you’ve been treating your diabetes with oral medications, diet modifications or insulin, you’re eligible to participate in our program. All you need is a prescription from your doctor. Most insurance plans cover diabetes education and supplies but be sure to contact your insurance provider before enrolling to make sure you have the right coverage.
- Expert Diabetic Wound Care
-
High glucose levels over a long period of time can lead to nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor blood circulation. These conditions are common diabetes complications that make it hard for your skin to repair itself and cause wounds to heal slowly, or not at all.
When you're injured, you want answers, expertise and someone who understands every aspect of your situation. Our Wound Care Institute professionals deliver that type of complete, compassionate care. Knowing your wounds can be complicated by existing conditions like diabetes or arthritis, we'll make sure to get the full picture of your health history before deciding on any treatment.
