Get informed. If you have diabetes, there are many things you can do to help yourself. Medication is only one aspect of your care;
maintaining a healthy weight, increasing your physical activity, eating healthy foods, testing your blood sugars, taking your medications
as prescribed, attending diabetes education programs, and consulting with your health professional to keep your blood sugar
in control will help you control your diabetes and stay well. The amount of self-management you can achieve will affect the quality
of life you lead.
