Diabetes is a lifelong condition that affects how the body regulates blood sugar (glucose). Over 37 million Americans live with diabetes, and millions more are at risk. In Texas alone, nearly 12% of adults are affected, exceeding the national average. Without proper management, diabetes can lead to severe complications, including heart disease, kidney damage, and vision loss. At WellGen Health, our diabetes and endocrinology specialists focus on empowering you to take control of your condition and prevent these health challenges.
