Take Control to Avoid
Diabetes Complications
If you've been diagnosed with diabetes, whether you have Type 1 or Type 2, you may feel like the situation is totally out of your control.
The fact is you may someday face one or more complications -- including some very scary ones like blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, and serious nerve damage. Yet among these dark possibilities exists a ray of real hope: clinical trials have proven that taking an active role in your health can reduce the risk of diabetic complications.
What exactly does that mean?
The more lifestyle changes you make, such as planning healthy meals, exercising regularly, monitoring blood glucose levels, taking your medication, and reducing risk factors, the likelier you are to live longer and enjoy way better quality of life.
If I'd known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
