Chronic Disease Management Towson

Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that exists in several forms, with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes being the most common. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease typically diagnosed during earlier years of age, while Type 2 diabetes is more prevalent, affecting approximately 90% of all diagnosed individuals. The primary method for diagnosing diabetes is a blood test known as Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c). This test measures your average blood sugar levels over a period of 90 days and is essential for diagnosing both prediabetes and diabetes.

While diabetes can be debilitating, there is hope. At Bay Medical and Wellness Center, Dr. Zarrabi provides comprehensive diabetes care and works with you to create a personalized treatment plan. This plan includes diet and lifestyle changes to help you manage and improve symptoms of diabetes, while also preventing complications related to the condition.

Hypertension

Regular hypertension screenings and effective treatment with Dr. Zarrabi can help prevent these risks, ensuring you maintain optimal health and avoid long-term health issues associated with elevated blood pressure.
