Diabetes and Kidney Care

Diabetes specialists and nephrologists (kidney specialists) work together to slow or prevent kidney disease related to diabetes. We help you control your blood glucose and blood pressure with regular testing, medication and lifestyle changes. Learn how we care for diabetes and kidney disease.

Diabetes and Eye Care

Eye disease is a common complication of diabetes. At UMass Memorial, we offer convenient diabetes eye care screenings to identify issues as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment of eye disease can help us preserve your sight and quality of life. Learn about our diabetes and eye care services.

Gestational Diabetes Care

Gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy if your blood sugar gets too high. Also known as pregnancy-induced diabetes, it's one of the most common health problems for expectant moms. If you develop gestational diabetes, you’ll get additional, personalized care throughout your pregnancy from our maternal-fetal medicine specialists at UMass Memorial Medical Center.

Diabetes Center of Excellence in Worcester and Leominster
