Diabetes Control is Prevention
Taking control of your diabetes can make you feel better and stay healthy. Recent studies have shown that good blood sugar control is important to help prevent or delay serious problems with the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart. Diabetes is serious yet controllable. All people with diabetes need to know how to take care of themselves. Work closely with your health care team to understand your management plan and to control your diabetes. Remember. Diabetes is serious but controllable. For more information about diabetes, call
