Diabetes Management
Carbohydrates are important in diabetes management
Everybody – including people with diabetes – needs to include foods that contain carbohydrate in their diet, because they are one of the body’s main sources of energy.
Life expectancy and diabetes: bad news, good news
Lifestyle choices or health behaviours, as they are called now, can make a significant difference to life expectancy for all of us, but even more so for a person living with diabetes.
Monitoring Blood Sugar
Monitoring blood sugar is an important tool that can help you manage your diabetes effectively and prevent or delay complications.
Managing Type 2 Diabetes
Managing type 2 diabetes involves following a basic set of principles or guidelines in order to reach target blood glucose levels.
Managing Type 1 Diabetes
Insulin is the main strategy used to manage type 1 diabetes, as it helps the body to use glucose (sugar) as energy. Insulin is taken multiple times each day and the amount of insulin used changes depending on your blood sugar levels.
