Another reason diabetes silently wreaks havoc is fragmented care. You visit your primary care doctor, then an endocrinologist, then maybe a cardiologist, then an eye specialist. Each one, in theory, has your best interests at heart—but they rarely communicate. Terry Fulmer, eldercare expert and President of the John A. Hartford Foundation, explains that “fragmented care significantly reduces patient trust, particularly among older adults managing multiple chronic conditions.”
As you shuffle between specialists, each new doctor asks you to retell your story. Before you know it, vital health information slips through the cracks, trust erodes, and crucial care gets missed. Sound familiar?
Why We’re Here (And Why It Matters)
At Hopium Health, we launched this project precisely because the healthcare system isn’t giving diabetes the serious attention it deserves. Doctors mean well, but they’re overwhelmed. They simply don’t have enough time or resources to educate thoroughly, explain clearly, or motivate effectively.
That’s why we are here—to fill those gaps, provide clear, practical, humorous guidance, and support you every step of the way. Because diabetes remission is not just possible—it’s achievable. And you deserve a shot at better health.
