People with diabetes can live happy, healthy lives. The key is to follow a diabetes treatment plan. Your first step is to see your health care practitioner. He or she will prescribe a daily treatment plan. The plan should include a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Many people find their diabetes gets better when they follow their treatment plan.
For people who have type 2 diabetes, losing weight is important. Losing weight helps some overweight people to bring their blood sugars into the normal range. People who have a tendency to get type 2 diabetes can avoid it by losing weight or not becoming overweight. Your health care practitioner may also want you to test your blood-sugar levels regularly. Testing will let you know if your diabetes is in control.
