Diabetes Care in Pearland, TX

Personalized Evaluation, Management & Support at Broadway Family Clinic

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). When left untreated or poorly managed, diabetes can lead to serious health complications including heart disease, nerve damage, vision problems, and kidney issues. At Broadway Family Clinic in Pearland, Texas, we offer comprehensive diabetes care tailored to each patient’s needs, with a focus on long-term wellness.

What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly produce or use insulin — the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. The two most common types are:

  • Type 1 Diabetes: The body does not produce insulin

  • Type 2 Diabetes: The body does not use insulin effectively

Both types require careful monitoring and individualized treatment to keep blood glucose in a healthy range.

Common Symptoms of Diabetes

Early detection is key. Diabetes symptoms can include:

  • Frequent urination

  • Increased thirst

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Blurred vision

  • Slow wound healing

  • Numbness or tingling in hands or feet

If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms, speak with a provider at Broadway Family Clinic for evaluation and testing.

What Causes Diabetes?

While genetics play a significant role, lifestyle and metabolic factors also contribute:

  • Family history of diabetes

  • Being overweight or physically inactive

  • Insulin resistance

  • High blood pressure or high cholesterol

  • Unhealthy diet

  • Age (risk increases with age)

Our team evaluates each patient holistically to identify risk factors, underlying concerns, and ways to prevent or control disease progression.

Diabetes Diagnosis

To diagnose diabetes, your provider may review:

  • Fasting blood sugar levels

  • Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test

  • Oral glucose tolerance test

  • Review of symptoms and medical history

These tests help determine if your blood glucose is high and whether treatment is needed.

Treatment & Management Options

Effective diabetes care often combines medical, lifestyle, and educational support:

Medication Management

Your provider may prescribe insulin or oral medications to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Nutritional & Lifestyle Counseling

We emphasize:

  • Balanced, diabetes-friendly meal planning

  • Regular physical activity

  • Weight management

  • Stress reduction techniques

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular check-ins allow your care team to monitor blood sugar trends, adjust therapies, and support long-term health goals.

  • Symptoms interfere with daily life

  • You have risk factors for diabetes
