Austin Diabetes Services
Providing high-quality education for a better quality of life.
Diabetes is a condition that affects how your body manages sugar in your blood. When your body cannot produce enough insulin — the hormone that helps move sugar from your blood into your cells for energy — glucose builds up in the bloodstream. Over time, unmanaged high blood sugar can affect your heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and feet.
It is one of the most common chronic conditions in our community — and one of the most manageable, when you have the right education, tools, and support around you.
Community-Centered Approach
Living with diabetes — or preventing it — is not just a medical challenge. It is shaped by where we live, what we have access to, how we were raised to think about health, and whether we have ever had someone explain our diagnosis in a language and a way that truly made sense to us.
For many Hispanic and Latino families in Travis County, the barriers go deeper than a doctor's visit. They include not having health insurance, not having a provider who speaks Spanish or understands our culture, not having reliable access to fresh food, and never having been taught what a glucose number actually means or what to do when it is too high.
These are not personal failures. They are the conditions that too many families in our community have been navigating alone — until now.
