🌟 Let’s Talk About Diabetes 🌟

Diabetes is a common health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. When your body can’t make enough insulin or use it properly, blood sugar levels rise — and over time, this can lead to serious health problems.

Key facts to know:


✅ There are two main types: Type 1 and Type 2


✅ Early signs may include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, or blurred vision


✅ Healthy eating, regular exercise, and routine checkups are vital in managing diabetes


✅ With the right care, people with diabetes can live full, healthy lives

If you experience symptoms or have risk factors such as family history, being overweight, or inactivity, it’s a good idea to get checked. 💙

Your health matters — and small lifestyle changes can make a big difference!

🦶 What is Gout? Let's Talk About It!

🩺 At Core Care Family Medical, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness—often in the big toe. It’s caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints and can be extremely painful if left untreated.

🔍 Common Triggers Include:

• Diets high in red meat or seafood

• Alcohol (especially beer)

• Sugary drinks

• Dehydration

• Certain medical conditions or medications

✅ The Good News: Gout is treatable and manageable! With proper diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and medication, you can reduce flare-ups and prevent joint damage.

If you’re experiencing joint pain or have a history of gout, let us help. We're here to provide personalized care and effective treatment plans so you can feel your best.
