Diabetes Center - Northern Michigan Regional Hospital

Diabetes Center

Diabetes can control your life, or you can control your diabetes.

Diabetes is a disease that can have serious effects on many parts of your body, sometimes permanently. It affects almost 17 million people in the United States, and over 6 million do not even know they have diabetes. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to heart and kidney disease, amputations, blindness, and other serious problems.

Located on the campus of Northern Michigan Regional Hospital in the Burns Professional Building, the Diabetes Center offers comprehensive self-management training in a group setting or individual consultations.

Diabetes is a serious problem when left untreated

It is the sixth leading cause of death by disease in this country.
It causes 12,000 to 24,000 people to lose their sight each year.
It accounts for 56,000 leg and foot amputations each year.
It is the leading cause of kidney failure.
It increases the chance of having heart disease or suffering a stroke by two to four times.
