Tips for Managing Diabetes
Diabetes is a lifelong, total-body problem. Manage your condition, and your overall health, effectively with these smart tips.
Monitor your blood-glucose levels every day
Some people resist checking their blood-sugar levels, but daily monitoring really is the only way to know if they are under control. Foods, activity level, medications, illness, and even stress can affect blood glucose. Unless you check, you might not know whether your levels are holding steady or spiraling out of control.
Take Medication as Directed
Diabetes symptoms are silent, so you may not notice an immediate repercussion when you neglect to take your medicine, and that means far too many people decide against taking prescribed medications (or forget to take them). Don't be one of them! Untreated diabetes carries the grave risks of heart disease, nerve damage, and other complications. Take medications or insulin as directed by your physician.
