Home glucose monitoring is the cornerstone of every diabetes management program. It allows the diabetic to learn and follow the day to day changes in their blood sugars and, in partnership with their physician, make any necessary changes in their treatment plan.
Periodically following up with a registered dietician can help to establish a successful, “carbohydrate-based” eating plan.
Regularly scheduled meals and physical activity can help to avoid fluctuations in blood sugar while, at the same time, improving overall blood sugar control.
It is imperative that the diabetic develop a safe, effective exercise prescription in conjunction with their physician.
