WHAT IS DIABETES?
Diabetes is a defect in the body’s ability to convert glucose
  (sugar) to energy. Glucose is the main source of fuel for
  our body.
When food is digested it is changed into fats, protein, or
  carbohydrates. Foods that affect blood sugars are called
  carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates, when digested, change to glucose. Examples
  of some carbohydrates are:
  bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, corn, fruit,and milk products.
  Individuals with diabetes should eat carbohydrates but
  must do so in moderation.
Glucose is then transferred to the blood and is used by the
  cells for energy. In order for glucose to be transferred from
  the blood into the cells, the hormone - insulin is needed.
  Insulin is produced by the beta cells in the pancreas (the
  organ that produces insulin).
THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIABETES
    Type I Diabetes                 Type II Diabetes

do to help yourself. The amount of self-management you can achieve
                 will affect the quality of life you lead.
HOW DIABETES DIAGNOSED?

The diagnosis of diabetes is made by a simple blood
  test measuring your blood glucose level. Usually
  these tests are repeated on a subsequent day to
  confirm the diagnosis. A diagnosis of diabetes is a
  frightening and bewildering experience because
  there is so much information to take in and the
  diagnosis may come as a shock.

People with Type 2 diabetes may hear their condition
 described as “mild,” but type 2 diabetes is not
 “mild,” medical condition. Both forms and all stages
 of diabetes are serious, with many possible
 complications, including eye, heart, kidney, and
 nerve damage.
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT FOR DIABETES?
As yet, there is no “cure” for either type of diabetes, although there are many ways of
keeping diabetes under control. Diabetes treatments are designed to help the body to
control the sugar levels in the blood. Studies have shown that good control of blood
sugar is the key to avoiding diabetic complications.

• Type 1 diabetes requires insulin. Injected insulin replaces the insulin missing in the
body. You will need to learn how to balance your insulin with your food intake and your
physical activity. It is important that you work with a diabetes educator and are under
the care of a diabetes team, who can assist you in managing your diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes treatment will vary dependent on your blood sugar levels. Many
patients are counseled to change their lifestyle and lose weight. It is important to work
with a diabetes educator and dietitian. Treatment begins with changing certain food
choices and beginning an exercise program.

     See your doctor every three months until your blood sugar is in
      control, once it’s under control, your numbers and medication
              regimen should be reviewed every six months.
WHAT IS GOOD CONTROL?
The A1C test provides you and your doctor with an assessment of the
overall control of your diabetes. In simple terms, this test
measures the sugar coating on red blood cells. The life of a red blood cell is
three months, so this test should be done every three to six
months to assess your blood sugar control.

Your daily blood sugar results will also provide you with helpful information
on the impact
of foods, physical activity, and medications. Together these tests should help
you manage your diabetes.

Although you may not feel sick, high blood sugar levels are damaging blood
vessels and your organs. Complications of diabetes are
preventable if you keep your blood sugar as close to normal as possible.
The goal is an A1C level between 6.5% -7%.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. BE SURE
TO WORK WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.
Yearly
•Complete physical exam, foot
exam, creatinine, cholesterol, triglycerides, and urine micro albumin test.
•You may have electrocardiogram and/or stress test
•Dilated eye exam by an ophthalmologist
•Referral to a diabetes educator or nutritionist
•Referral to smoking cessation program

Every 3-6 Months
•A1C
•A dental exam

Each Doctor visits
•Weight and blood pressure
•Review all medications
•Review all lifestyle changes, physical activity, how you are coping with your
diabetes at home and at work.
•Discuss changes that maybe necessary in the future.
•Review problems: vision, numbness, tingling in your hands or feet, low blood
sugar reactions, digestive problems and sexual activity.
QUESTIONS?
You are more than welcome to ask your local physician or you may attend
         an educational program that offers information about
                       how to control diabetes.
