When Was Your Last Medication Review?

Taking the same medication for a long time doesn’t always mean your treatment plan should stay the same.

A medication review gives your healthcare provider a chance to:

✓ Review prescriptions and dosages
✓ Check vitamins and supplements
✓ Discuss possible side effects
✓ Look for medication interactions
✓ Make sure your treatment still fits your needs

Bring an updated list of everything you take, including over-the-counter medications and supplements, to your primary care appointments.

Your medications are part of your overall health picture. Contact WeCare Wellness Clinic to schedule your primary care visit.

More than 115 million American adults, over 2 in 5, have prediabetes, and roughly 8 in 10 of them do not know it. Prediabetes is one of the most reversible conditions in medicine. Prediabetes is not a disease sentence. It is your body raising its hand and saying, "Something needs to change."

We have written a roadmap that explains warning signs, what causes prediabetes, and a practical 90-day roadmap to turn it around.

Introduction: A Warning Sign That's Also an Opportunity Here is a statistic that surprises almost every patient I share it with: more than 115 million American adults, over 2 in 5, have prediabetes, and roughly 8 in 10 of them do not know it.

"Reversal" is a popular word, but the medical term doctors and nurse practitioners prefer is remission. In 2021, an international consensus group (including the American Diabetes Association) defined type 2 diabetes remission as:

An A1C below 6.5% maintained for at least 3 months after stopping diabetes medications.

Your A1C (also called HbA1c) is a blood test that reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months.

Learn interesting facts about Type 2 Diabetes Reversal and find out if it is really possible.

Introduction: The Word "Reversal" Changes Everything For most of my 20 years in practice, type 2 diabetes was described to patients as a one-way street: a chronic, progressive disease you would manage forever with steadily increasing medication. That message left people feeling defeated on the day o...

Why Annual Blood Work Is Important

You can feel healthy and still have changes happening inside your body. Routine blood work gives your healthcare provider valuable information about your overall health.

Depending on your individual needs, blood tests may help monitor:

✓ Blood sugar levels
✓ Cholesterol and heart-health markers
✓ Liver and kidney function
✓ Blood cell counts
✓ Changes from previous results

Regular testing can help establish your baseline, track trends over time, and identify potential concerns that may need further evaluation.

Understanding Your Cholesterol Numbers

Cholesterol is a type of fat your body needs, but having too much of certain types can increase your risk of heart disease.

Your lipid panel typically includes:
• LDL — often called “bad” cholesterol
• HDL — often called “good” cholesterol
• Triglycerides — another type of blood fat
• Total cholesterol — overall cholesterol level

Your numbers should be interpreted along with your age, health history, and other risk factors.

Know your numbers. Contact WeCare Wellness to discuss your heart health with a provider.

GLP-1 is not magic. And it’s not a shortcut.

Starting a GLP-1 medication doesn’t mean the scale will change overnight. Your body needs time to respond, and sustainable weight loss takes consistency.

Focus on:

Taking your medication as prescribed
Prioritizing nutrition
Staying active
Tracking your progress over time—not just day-to-day

Two days is not the whole story. Trust the process and watch the trend.

Your scale can mind its business for a little while.
