Understanding Your Day-to-Day Care
Your blood sugar targets and treatment needs are individual. Ask your team what your targets mean, how often to check your levels and what to do if readings fall outside your recommended range.
Healthy eating does not necessarily mean giving up every food you enjoy. A suitable meal plan considers portions, preferences and your treatment. Physical activity and taking medicines as prescribed also play a role in managing diabetes.
Regular checks can help identify problems affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart. Your team can explain which checks you need and when.
Your Care Journey
Bring your medication list, recent results and any blood sugar records to your appointment. Note questions or difficulties you would like to discuss.
Together, you and your team can set realistic goals and review progress. Tell them if your plan is difficult to follow so they can help you explore suitable adjustments.
