What You Need To Know About Managing Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition marked by high levels of blood sugar. It can result in nerve damage and pain throughout the body if symptoms are not kept in check.


Effects can range from Focal Neuropathy affecting the hands and eyes to Peripheral Neuropathy of the feet.


Those with diabetic neuropathy may experience pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in their extremities. Here’s what you need to know about managing diabetes.


First there are multiple early warning signs that you may have diabetes including hunger, fatigue, and being extremely thirsty. If you suspect you may have diabetes, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

Here Is How Diabetes Affects The Body

Nerve Damage: Diabetes 101

Nerve Damage

Neuropathic pain can develop when long-lasting high blood sugar or blood
pressure levels damage nerve endings. Over time, this can lead to
lasting nerve damage and neuropathy.

Blood Sugar Complications: Diabetes 101

Blood Sugar Complications

High blood glucose levels can make you more susceptible to developing
cardiovascular disease, having low energy, and other complications.

Risk Of Future Disease

If diabetic symptoms are not managed, you have higher risk of
cardiovascular disease, stroke, and heart attack. Managing your diabetes

Stress can contribute to oxidative damage and inflammation, which can exacerbate your physical symptoms of diabetes. Keep your stress levels low with aromatherapy, self-care, and meditation techniques.

3. Take Good Care Of Your Feet


Diabetes can lead to numbness in the feet, making it very easy for wounds and issues like Charcot’s foot to go unnoticed.

Prevent these injuries by inspecting your feet daily, washing and drying them thoroughly, and keeping toenails trimmed.

Universal Antioxidant For Diabetes Support

Well Theory: Founded To Support Your Health Goals

Dr. Warner founded Well Theory according to her beliefs about functional medicine, or functional wellness, verses conventional medicine.

Take Charge Of Your Health With Well Theory
Conventional medicine often overlooks holistic, long-term lifestyle changes in favor of prescribing heavy pharmaceuticals, recommending harsh and invasive treatments like surgeries, and more in an attempt to stop pain or disease as it occurs.


Find Wellness Alternatives That Work – For You.
I think we all know that conventional and modern medicine is reactionary and piecemeal, whereas good medicine should be proactive and encompass the whole of you and your body’s systems.


How We Support You On Your Wellness Journey:
Functional healing focuses more on supporting an already healthy lifestyle – or adapting routines to create a healthier way of living – instead of merely responding to illness and injury with treatments designed to only address symptoms.


At Well Theory, we believe that you are ultimately in charge of accomplishing your health goals. We just give you the tools and resources you need to get started towards a path to better overall wellness.
