Manage Type 2 Diabetes
When i was first diagnosed with border line diabetes - i didn’t know what it meant nor did i know what to think of it. Disbelieved was the first thing that came to my mind, followed by how to i live with diabetes. Afterall, diabetes is a serious illness not like adult acne .
My family doctor here wasn’t of great help - in fact - he wanted me to control it with diet - but a few years later - guess what ..?? my diabetes got so bad - my sugar level sky - rocketed so bad, he wanted to put me on insulin. So remember - if you have border line diabetes - make sure your doctor take a serious view about it.
Ok .. back to how to manage type 2 diabetes? I follow these steps, it’s easier said than done but it’s a guideline - you may want to consider.
- Balanced meal planning
- Understanding carb counting and carb choices
- Monitoring blood glucose
- Understanding your goal numbers
- Learning about oral medication and insulin basics
- Including physical activity
- Gathering your support team
- Telling others about your diagnosis
