Managing Chronic Pain

Chronic pain includes pain that you feel regularly, even if it comes and goes. Your healthcare provider will work closely with you on a plan to manage your pain. But it's up to you to put this plan into action.

Understanding Diabetic Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis is when food moves through the stomach more slowly than normal. In someone with diabetes, it's caused by damage to the vagus nerve from chronic high blood sugar.

Smoking and Diabetes

When you have diabetes, quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do to help your health. Both diabetes and smoking cause health problems on their own. But together they are more likely to cause serious damage to your blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys.
