Mercy Diabetes and Wound Center

Diabetes is a disease that can have serious effects on many parts of your body, sometimes permanently. It affects almost 18.2 million people in the United States, and over 5 million do not even know they have it. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to heart and kidney disease, amputations, blindness, and other serious problems.

Scientific research has proven that controlling blood sugar levels can reduce the long-term complications of diabetes. Helping you to control your blood sugar levels over the long-term is what our diabetes program is all about.

From hyperbaric oxygen therapy, chronic wound management and diabetic foot treatment to pre and post-disease self-management outpatient education classes, individualized nutritional consultation and weight management, the Mercy Diabetes and Wound Center has become the Hot Springs area’s answer to full-service, proactive diabetes care. Our caring, experienced staff of dietitians, diabetes educators and registered nurses will help you learn to control your diabetes by eating healthy, exercising and taking your medicines the right way. We provide this education and support through our ADA (American Diabetes Association) certified outpatient services and, if you ever need to be in the hospital, through our inpatient hospital services.

Whether you are at risk for diabetes or not, finding out more about the disease could someday help you or someone you love. For information on the symptoms and treatment of diabetes, please call us at 501-622-4665 or 501-922-5451 ext. 4665.
