Diabetes
If you’ve picked up this book, chances are that diabetes has touched your life or the life of someone close to you. Whatever the diagnosis — pre-diabetes, type 1, type 2, or gestational — diabetes can be a frightening and personally devastating diagnosis. Fortunately, learning all you can about diabetes and seeking support are probably the two most important components to staying on top of this disease.
A key phrase in the lexicon of diabetes care is good control. For those new to diabetes, good control means keeping your blood glucose, or blood sugar, in a range at or close to normal through diet, exercise, and/or medication (which can include pills, insulin, and/or other injectable drugs). Control is the answer to managing diabetes physically as well as emotionally. Always remember that the power is in your hands to determine how diabetes affects your life.
Managing diabetes requires knowledge, dedication, and a certain doggedness of character. Most importantly, it requires a commitment to being a leader, not a follower, in your own health care. Surrounding yourself with good people — endocrinologists and diabetologists, certified diabetes educators, registered dietitians, and more — is an excellent start. But it takes more than a crack medical team to control diabetes. Playing an active role in your own health care — as coach of your health care team — is essential for staying both healthy and happy. So is surrounding yourself with people who care about you and are willing to support you in your pursuit of wellness.
High blood glucose levels can affect every system of the body over time if not managed properly.
