You should consider scheduling a chronic disease management consultation at Halo MD if you have chronic health conditions like:
Diabetes affects how your body processes sugar from your diet into the energy you need to function. There are several forms of diabetes the team can help you manage, including Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes.
Cholesterol is a waxy fat in your blood that helps build healthy cells. When you have high cholesterol, it can cause blockages in your blood vessels that increase your risk of heart disease and heart attack.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a condition where the force of your blood against the walls of your blood vessels is too high. Untreated hypertension can lead to stroke, heart disease, blood vessel damage, and other potentially life-threatening health complications.
The team also recommends preventive health screenings if your risk of chronic diseases, like a family history of diabetes, is high or you have unusual symptoms needing to be diagnosed.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Leafblad and his medical team spend time getting to know your medical history and discussing your current health. They complete a physical exam and note important details about your health history and any symptoms you have.
Halo MD offers on-site diagnostic testing, including bloodwork, to diagnose a new condition or to assess how well your current chronic disease treatment is working for you.
Based on the results of your tests, the team designs a treatment plan to effectively manage the disease now and in the long term. Your treatment plan can include:
You can also expect regular follow-up with the Halo MD team. They need to check your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and other aspects of your health. They can also adjust your treatment plan as your health circumstances change.
