Cholesterol Control Clinic

From accurate diagnosis to timely treatment, our experts will provide expert guidance to get through the process.

With a focus on compassionate care and personalized attention, we support you in managing your cholesterol levels and reducing your risk for heart disease.

People with diabetes have higher rates of cholesterol abnormalities than the rest of the population and this contributes to the higher rates of heart disease in people with diabetes.

Diabetes tends to lower “good” cholesterol and raise triglyceride and “bad” cholesterol levels, which increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.

Diabetes & Cholesterol Connection

People with diabetes have higher rates of cholesterol abnormalities than the rest of the population and this contributes to the higher rates of heart disease in people with diabetes. Diabetes tends to lower “good” cholesterol and raise triglyceride and “bad” cholesterol levels, which increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.

Cholesterol management aimed at lowering LDL cholesterol, raising HDL cholesterol and lowering triglycerides has been shown to reduce diseases of the major blood vessels and mortality rates in those with diabetes.

Steps to keep your blood cholesterol low:

Follow a low saturated fat, low-cholesterol diet.
Be more physically active.
Lose weight if you are overweight.

Do's & Dont's

Do's

Wash your feet daily. Dry carefully between the toes.
Apply a moisturizer to feet lightly after bathing. It is important for you to keep your skin soft and supple.
Do not cut toenails too short. The corners of the nails should always be visible. If you have difficulty reaching or seeing your feet have someone else cut your toenails.
Stop smoking. Smoking reduces blood circulation and increases your risk of amputation.
Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes.
Examine feet every day for cuts, blisters, dry blood, redness or swelling. Call your podiatrist immediately if you notice a problem. Hours can make the difference between saving your foot and losing it.
Inspect the inside of shoes for foreign objects.

Dont's

Never use hot water bottles or heating pads. These can cause serious burns.
Don’t walk barefoot, even indoors.
Don’t trim corns or calluses with any type of blade. An emery board can be used safely if necessary.
Don’t use corn removal pads, liquids or wart treatments. These products contain acids that can cause an ulcer or hole in the skin.
Don’t wear open-toed shoes, particularly sandals with thongs between toes.
