Diabetes Management — Ongoing Clinical Management of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes Management — The Integrated Tactus Approach

Diabetes management at Tactus Health goes beyond writing a metformin prescription and rechecking A1C every 3 months. Our providers manage diabetes as a metabolic condition, addressing insulin resistance, weight, cardiovascular risk, and hormonal contributors simultaneously. For patients with type 2 diabetes, this often means GLP-1 therapy (semaglutide, tirzepatide) as the primary pharmacological intervention, given its dual benefit of glucose control and weight management.

Ongoing management includes regular HbA1c monitoring, adjustment of medications based on lab trends and clinical response, cardiovascular risk assessment, kidney function monitoring, and coordination with ophthalmology and podiatry when appropriate. Many patients find that Dr. Ashar’s integrated approach produces better outcomes than siloed specialty care.
