For the millions of people living with diabetes, managing the condition isn’t just a daily task — it’s a lifelong journey. From monitoring blood sugar levels to making thoughtful choices about food, exercise, and medications, diabetes care can feel overwhelming without the right support system.
That’s why at Bellagio Family Medical, we offer a proactive, patient-centered approach to chronic disease management, designed to empower you to take control of your diabetes — instead of letting it control you.
The Rising Tide of Diabetes
Diabetes has become one of the most common chronic conditions in the United States. According to the CDC:
- Over 38 million Americans are living with diabetes.
- An estimated 1 in 5 people with diabetes don’t know they have it.
- Prediabetes affects over 96 million U.S. adults, many of whom are unaware of their risk.
This silent and often underestimated disease, when left unmanaged, can lead to complications such as:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Kidney damage
- Vision loss
- Nerve damage (neuropathy)
- Foot problems, infections, and even amputations
But here’s the good news: diabetes is manageable — and in some cases, even reversible — with the right care, education, and lifestyle changes.
What Sets Bellagio Family Medical Apart
At Bellagio Family Medical, we understand that diabetes care goes beyond prescriptions and test results. Our chronic disease management program is comprehensive, personalized, and collaborative, designed to treat the whole person, not just the condition.
Our patients benefit from:

Lifestyle at the Center of Diabetes Care
You can’t separate diabetes from lifestyle — they’re deeply connected. That’s why lifestyle modification is a major focus at Bellagio Family Medical. Here’s how we help patients build sustainable habits:
Nutrition Counseling
Food choices directly affect blood sugar, weight, and energy levels. Our licensed providers offer personalized meal plans that:
- Stabilize blood sugar levels
- Promote weight management
- Prevent or slow disease progression
- Make healthy eating accessible, affordable, and enjoyable
We also help patients understand food labels, portion control, and smart substitutions so they can make informed decisions at home or on the go.

Physical Activity Support
Even moderate daily movement can make a big difference. We help you:
- Choose safe and effective exercises based on your condition
- Improve circulation and insulin sensitivity
- Strengthen muscles and reduce fatigue
- Enhance mood and reduce stress
We work closely with our in-house physical therapy team to provide guided activity plans for patients with mobility issues, neuropathy, or balance concerns.
Behavioral Health Integration
Living with a chronic illness can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. Depression, anxiety, and burnout are common among people managing diabetes — and we don’t ignore that.
Our behavioral health providers offer therapy, stress-reduction techniques, and medication support when needed to help you stay mentally strong and emotionally resilient.
Diabetic Foot & Vascular Care: Why It Matters
Diabetes affects circulation and nerve function, especially in the lower limbs. That’s why podiatric and vascular health are crucial components of our diabetes management plan.
We offer:
- Routine foot checks for signs of infection, ulcers, or neuropathy
- Vascular assessments to monitor circulation and blood flow
- Wound care services for non-healing sores or injuries
- Education on daily foot care and injury prevention
Catching foot or vascular issues early can help prevent serious complications, including amputation.
Tracking Progress with Remote Monitoring
Bellagio Family Medical is proud to offer Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) — a digital tool that allows us to keep track of your condition even when you’re not in the office.
Using wearable devices or at-home testing kits, we can monitor:
- Blood glucose levels
- Blood pressure
- Weight changes
- Activity levels
This data is securely transmitted to your care team, allowing for real-time support, faster intervention, and peace of mind between appointments.
