“Good diabetes prevention and care start with that annual wellness exam.
‘I see them once a year,’ said Dr. Connie Pham, a primary care physician with Village Medical in Kyle. ‘I'm not trying to kidnap them and see them all the time. I'm trying to prevent them from needing to come more often.’
That wellness exam focuses on checking blood levels and symptoms to see if anything has changed or needs to be addressed. It helps doctors and patients determine what path they might be on, whether it's developing diabetes, heart disease or another chronic illness.”
