It is important to know what Diabetes is and how it affects your body once you are diagnosed.
The American Diabetes Association website and your doctor are the best sources of information to help make sense of all the information available concerning Diabetes and how it affects the body.
“ There is no cure for diabetes, but it can be managed. Balancing the food you eat with exercise and medicine (if prescribed) will help you control your weight and can keep your blood glucose in the healthy range.
This can help prevent or delay complications. Many people with diabetes live long and healthful lives.”
