November is American Diabetes Month, and so let’s talk about how we accomodate dietary preferences in homecare. There are numerous ways that we accomodate all dietary preferences, but let’s specifically talk about with diabetes. Since we are non-medical, it is important that our clients talk with their physician and possibly a registered dietician about their specific dietary needs. But typically, most diabetic clients have to avoid high sugar foods.
Preparing Food
Many diabetic clients have to prepare their own foods to avoid added sugar, but they may struggle to do that. We can provide meal preparation, and we can even do bulk meal preparation.
Medication Reminders
We do not administer medications, but we can provide medication reminders for our clients need them. We also take detailed notes after every visit. So if you want them to be on the lookout for medication, we can do that and you can even bring their concerns to your physician.
Please take of yourselves, and if you have any concerns, feel free to let us know in the office or talk to your doctor.
