Diabetes Care in Dade City

You can lower your risk of getting diabetes. At AdventHealth Dade City, we’re here to help you understand your diabetes risk factors with comprehensive education programs and resources to teach you about this disease — and how to prevent or overcome it.

We also offer screenings for all types of diabetes. This includes measuring the levels of glucose in your bloodstream.
Our comprehensive testing includes:

• An A1C test, which diagnoses type 1 and type 2 diabetes with a simple blood test
• Casual plasma glucose test, which is a screening for blood sugar
• Fasting plasma glucose test, which is a precise test that requires you to avoid all food or drinks for eight hours
• Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), where you ingest glucose and have levels tested afterward

If you test positive for diabetes, we'll work with you to start a process of healing with a personalized treatment plan created just for you.
