Overview

Mission

Community Health Choice is a local, nonprofit, managed care organization committed to helping improve the health and well-being for Texas residents. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. **Insulin** , a **hormone** made by the **pancreas** , helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells. Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause **health problems**. Although diabetes has no cure, you can take steps to **manage your diabetes** and stay healthy. Sometimes people call diabetes “a touch of sugar” or “borderline diabetes.” These.
