Diabetes is on the calendar every day at Allina Medical ClinicMinneapolis, MN 11/13/2007--Diabetes is the fastest growing disease in America - faster than heart disease, cancer or HIV/AIDS – and it can be just as deadly, according to Jimmy Ching, MD, of Allina Medical Clinic - Buffalo. Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of early death among people with diabetes. And more than a third of people who have diabetes don’t even realize it until the symptoms become severe. Because diabetes is a complex disease, it can be very difficult to manage. Allina physicians work in partnership with patients to reduce the risk of heart attacks, and avoid damage to kidneys, eyes and nervous system. To help patients avoid complications, Allina Medical Clinic provides personalized diabetes education that meets the high standards of the American Diabetes Association. Allina patients receive Dialog: Living with Diabetes, a quarterly newsletter with practical insight about managing diabetes and can sign up for MyChart, a free Internet tool to manage their health care online. Patients are notified via email when new labs results are available and can track their results over time. Plus, patients can schedule routine appointments and pay bills online with MyChart.
