Diabetes Care in Portland, TX

We provide primary care management across the range of glucose-related conditions:

• Type 2 diabetes, diagnosis, A1C management, complication prevention
• Type 1 diabetes, co-managed with endocrinology for insulin therapy while we handle your primary care
• Prediabetes, which can often be improved with the right plan; we'll show you how
• Gestational diabetes, postpartum follow-up and long-term risk reduction
• Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome

Diabetes often develops quietly. If any of these are showing up, get checked:

• Increased thirst or hunger
• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
• Slow-healing cuts or recurring infections
• Blurred vision
• Numbness or tingling in hands or feet

There's no single right approach, your plan depends on your numbers, your lifestyle, and your goals. We typically combine several of the following:

• A1C testing and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) when appropriate
• Modern medications including metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Trulicity)
• Insulin when it's needed, with complex regimens co-managed alongside endocrinology
• Nutrition counseling that's realistic, not restrictive
• Cardiovascular and kidney protection (the real long-term wins)
• Coordination with endocrinology, ophthalmology, and podiatry as needed

Untreated diabetes damages blood vessels everywhere, eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, brain. Most of that damage is preventable when blood sugar is controlled early, and patients who engage with treatment in the first year of diagnosis have far better long-term outcomes than those who wait.
