How can we find a healthy balance between food and celebration this season?
The holiday season is a time for family and friends to gather, celebrate life, continue tradition, and reflect on what is important. It is also important to appreciate the gift of health. Here are a few tips to promote good health during the holiday season.
Focus on fun, not food. Indulge only on the most special holiday treats. You can skip everyday items like store bought cookies and enjoy a piece of homemade pumpkin pie. Also, plan ahead and stock the freezer with healthy meals so you can spend more time with family and friends and less time worrying about prepping nutritious meals.
It’s tempting to ditch your workouts as your days fill up with holiday preparations, parties, errands, and shopping. Now, more than ever, it is important to stay active. Being more active as a family is a terrific way to burn calories and spend time with the ones you love. If you normally walk 30 minutes each day, stretch your goal to 45 minutes. Although the weather might be cold outside, bundle up and try something new – ice skating, sledding, and skiing are all great activities to keep you moving.

Brighten your holidays by making your health and safety a priority this season.

A1C is a measurement of your estimated average glucose and can be used to identify prediabetes and diagnose diabetes. A1C test results are reported as a percentage, and a high percentage means higher blood sugar levels over the last two to three months. If your A1C is between 5.7 and 6.5, you are in the prediabetes range. An A1C higher than 6.5% indicates blood sugar levels in the diabetic range.

If you have questions about diabetes or A1C, please call IHC today to make an appointment with a provider. For more information on diabetes, please visit diabetes.org.

Almost 10% of pregnancies in the U.S. are affected by gestational diabetes. Sometimes, hormones from the placenta block the action of the mother’s insulin to her body, which causes insulin resistance. Gestational diabetes can also start when the mother’s body isn’t able to make and use all the insulin it needs for pregnancy.

A prenatal provider can answer questions and come up with a plan for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. If you’re pregnant and concerned about gestational diabetes, please call IHC today to make an appointment with a provider. For more information on gestational diabetes, please visit diabetes.org.

Before someone develops type 2 diabetes, they may or may not show symptoms or complications. Prediabetes doesn’t mean they’ll develop type 2 diabetes, especially if you follow a treatment plan and diet & exercise routine. Some risk factors for type 2 diabetes are being overweight, smoking, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar.

If you’re worried that you could have prediabetes, call your local IHC provider today to schedule an appointment. More information can be found at diabetes.org.

In Type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the carbohydrates you eat into blood sugar that it uses for energy, and insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. Type 1 diabetes can be managed with healthy lifestyle choices, blood sugar testing, and sometimes insulin therapy or other treatments.

People with Type 1 diabetes need to be aware of complications that may occur, including skin infections and disorders, eye and foot complications, neuropathy, ketoacidosis, kidney disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.

If you think you may be diabetic, or have questions about a pre-existing diagnosis or complications, please call your local IHC today to schedule an appointment with a provider. For more information about diabetes, visit diabetes.org.

Our Story

Indiana Health Centers (IHC) was founded in 1973 and has been providing underserved Hoosiers with high-quality, affordable, patient-centered health care for over 40 years. Since opening our first health center in Kokomo, we have grown to serve ten communities in seven counties across the state of Indiana. Our Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) status enables us to provide medical, dental, and behavioral health care services on a sliding fee scale to patients of all ages who might not otherwise be able to afford the quality care they deserve. Apart from offering a sliding fee scale to qualifying patients, we also accept Medicaid, Medicare, and many private insurance plans.

We see ourselves as being more than just an option for some, but rather, a choice for all who seek high-quality, affordable, patient-centered health care services.
