    Cholesterol Management

    High levels of cholesterol in the blood are known to lead to blockages in the arteries throughout the body leading to heart attack and stroke. Appropriate management of cholesterol levels is key to maintaining good cardiovascular heart.

    At West Michigan Cardiology we specialize in management of even the most difficult to control cholesterol levels using:

    • Dietary and exercise monitoring

    • Oral medications

    • Injectable medications

  • A blood glucose meter, insulin pen, test strip container, alcohol swab, and smartphone on an orange background, indicating diabetes management tools.

    Diabetes management

    Diabetes occurs when your body can no longer regulate the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure. Aggressive management of diabetes is key to cardiovascular health.

    At West Michigan Cardiology we work with you and your primary physician to develop an effective blood glucose management plan to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
