Diabetes Management
If you have been diagnosed with diabetes recently, knowing where to turn for help can be challenging. Here at Concierge Consultants & Cardiology Fort Lauderdale, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the best possible care. Our experts are highly experienced in treating diabetes and will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs. We offer various services that make managing your diabetes more accessible! Here are some tips from our cardiologist on how to manage your diabetes:
1. Exercise Regularly
Every healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise, and this is especially true for those with diabetes. Exercise will help lower blood sugar levels and improve your overall health. Our experts will work with you to create a safe and effective exercise plan for you. Diabetes exercises are the same as exercises for anyone else, but it is essential to talk to a consultant before starting any new exercise routine.
2. Follow Your Diabetes Meal Plan
It can be quite hard following a diabetes meal plan, but it is essential to maintaining your blood sugar levels. Our cardiologist can help you create a meal plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences. Stick to lean protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs while avoiding sugary drinks and foods high in saturated fat. In the long run, following a healthy diet will help you feel your best and manage your diabetes more effectively.
3. Take Your Medicine as Prescribed
If you have been prescribed insulin or other diabetes medications, it is essential to take them as directed. Skipping doses can cause your blood sugar levels to become erratic, which can be dangerous. Our concierge services can help you stay on track with your medication schedule and ensure that you take your prescribed doses at the right time. We can often even arrange for your medication to be delivered directly to your home!
4. Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels
One of the essential things you can do to manage your diabetes is to monitor your blood sugar levels. This will help you know how well the treatment plan works and if any adjustments need to be made. Our cardiologist can help you understand how to check your blood sugar levels and what the results mean. We also offer continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) that can make monitoring your blood sugar easier.
5. Alcohol Consumption
Having diabetes does not mean you can’t enjoy an occasional drink. Just be sure to do so in moderation and always check your blood sugar levels before and after drinking. An expert cardiologist should help you understand how alcohol affects your blood sugar levels and ensure you stay safe. In most cases, monitored alcohol will not significantly impact your blood sugar levels, but it is always best to keep on the side of caution.
6. Eat Healthy and Stay Hydrated
Eating healthy foods and staying hydrated are two of the most important things you can do to manage your diabetes. Our qualified team can help you create a healthy eating plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences. Eating many fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains is a great way to stay healthy and control your blood sugar levels. It is also essential to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Dr. Di Pietro is always very helpful and will go out of her way to make sure I get the care needed. She is always accessible by phone should I have any questions, and she will follow up with me personally to make sure I am recovering well. Their office is very comfortable and has a home like feel. Much better than the normal doctor's office atmosphere. By far, the best doctor I have ever had!
Dr. Di Pietro has not only been a great physician for me, but also to my parents. My father had not seen a physician in over 30 years, and Dr. T made him feel at ease and calmly and comfortably walked him through everything he needed done. She has gone above and beyond many times for my family both in the office and in the hospital. Thank you!
Dr. Tiffany is a wonderful doctor full of positive energy and extremely warm hearted. Truly a blessing, I recommend her without any reservation.
This was my first visit to Dr. Di Pietro. I was greeted immediately and warmly. I found the Dr and her staff to be very helpful and friendly. I would have no hesitations in recommending Dr. Di Pietro.
I highly recommend this doctor. Her nurse/ receptionist was very polite and accomodating. Very welcoming and comfortable office. Dr. Tiffany made the visit very comfortable she has a beautiful personality that makes her bedside manner excellent. She doesn't leave until you have had all questions or concerns answered- you don't feel as though you're "just another patient" she makes you feel that she cares about people, something that sadly not all doctors share. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.
First time seeing Doctor Di Pietro, very informative and addressed my concerns. Followed up with me days after my visit to see how I was doing. Facility is clean and Dr. Di Pietro shows interest and care for her patients.
Dr. T rocks! She's a great Dr. and normal person. She's real, she's fun, and I love going to her office.
Love it here! First time I ever left a doctors office happy and optimistic! She listened to everything and went through each part and explained it and decided on a plan of care. She truly cares what happens to her patients and wants to help them. I left with a clear plan, steps to take on the road to getting better. I see her again in two months and i am looking forward to it! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Di Pietro since I moved here 2 months ago. She provides helpful information in an honest, and straightforward manner. She genuinely cares about you and your health. I feel doctor's like this don't happen often.
I have arrived at both my visits early and was taken within 5-10 minutes ! Dr. Di Pietro explained the results of my tests so that I had a clear understanding of them. I felt she listened to what I had to say, it was a collaborative decision on my treatment.
She found a problem that may have saved my life. She is outstanding!
Excellent doctor. Crisp, fresh and practical approach to health care---medical needs. The office staff--Karina is fantastic and insures an effective and efficient exchange with the insurance company/financial side of the visit.
