Diabetes Self-Management Education

A diagnosis of diabetes is a life-altering event that many people continuously struggle with. They are told it is crucial to keep blood sugar levels under control to prevent complications such as heart attack and stroke, kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage and pain, amputations and more. Diabetes is a chronic condition that is primarily managed and controlled by the person with diabetes. To manage diabetes, it is important to fully understand the disease as well as ways to keep it under control. A management plan should include monitoring blood glucose levels, meal planning, physical activity, and stress management. In some cases, insulin or oral medications may be necessary to control levels. By managing diabetes closely, you will live a longer, healthier life and deter the complications of diabetes. For this reason, following a management plan is important and should be discussed with a physician or diabetes educator. This plan may change as your body changes over time and different treatment options become available.
