One way to manage your diabetes is through regular check-ups with your primary care provider (PCP) or specialist. By regularly monitoring your blood sugar levels, sticking to your medication plan, and attending scheduled appointments, you can effectively manage your diabetes and reduce the risk of serious health issues such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve problems. Regular care keeps you updated on your condition, supports lifestyle changes, and ensures prompt treatment when needed.
Diabetes management is a partnership between you and your providers. Here are five important questions to ask your healthcare provider:
- How can I manage my medications and insulin?
- How can I track my blood sugar?
- What are my target blood sugar levels?
- What changes can help me improve?
- What resources can support me?
