“Regain the sweetness of life”
Treatment for Diabetes usually include diet, exercise and medicine if sugar levels remain high after lifestyle adjustments. At Ucchvas, diabetic patients are provided with a medically supervised care plan that includes physical exercise and healthy eating strategies. The rehab center offers two types of therapies, which work towards maintaning healthy blood glucose levels – Physical & Nutritional Therapy.
Physical therapists in Ucchvas help individualize and supervise exercises that is beneficial to a patient. They monitor the exercise program to ensure safety and progress, while improving and maintaining sugar levels.
Nutritional therapy in diabetes management educates patients on self-management. Dietitians at our rehabilitation center will teach patients about carbohydrates in food, their affect on the glucose levels and provide practical strategies for healthy cooking and eating.
In Ucchvas, patients not only receive treatment, but are educated on how to manage themselves to the best of their ability in their everyday lives. This helps them to live as independently as possible.
