What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how the body processes blood sugar (glucose), often due to problems with insulin production or function. If left unmanaged, it can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, and nerve damage. At Tri-County Primary Care in Winston-Salem, NC, our experienced practitioners are committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care for patients living with or at risk for diabetes. Our team works closely with each individual to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, nutritional guidance, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring.

How Is Diabetes Managed?
Managing diabetes involves a comprehensive, personalized approach that focuses on keeping blood sugar levels within a healthy range to prevent complications. When patients visit Tri-County Primary Care, they can expect a thorough evaluation that includes a review of their medical history, lifestyle habits, and current symptoms. Our team may conduct blood tests such as A1C and glucose levels to assess their condition accurately. Based on the results, we work with each patient to create a customized care plan, which may include medication, insulin therapy, dietary recommendations, exercise guidance, and regular monitoring. Education and support are central to our approach. We ensure patients understand their condition and feel confident managing it daily. Follow-up appointments and continuous communication help us track progress, make adjustments when needed, and provide consistent encouragement.

Tri-County Primary Care Reviews
My experience with my Doctor is great. He gives great advice and is open to listening to my concerns. Thank you
Great staff!!!
I love this small private practice! What a treat to walk in and see familiar faces who know me. When you need an appointment or a refill, it is dealt with promptly. You will not experience the frustration that is common to the large healthcare systems. If you like to build relationships with your healthcare providers, this is the practice for you.
He is so friendly and knowledgeable ! - Dr. Kilby , Mekesha and Sterling are all great providers to see ! They are well educated and take the time to listen to your needs . I highly recommend them and their sweet staff members !
The providers and staff members at this office do a great job at listening rather than rushing in and out of the room. They are all very knowledgeable and go the extra mile. I would highly recommend seeing them!
