You?ve been diagnosed with diabetes. Don?t worry ? you?re not alone. More than 1.5 million adults over 20 are diagnosed with diabetes each year in the United States.
That doesn?t make the news any more pleasant to hear. Despite the millions of other people who live with diabetes, this new urgency to monitor and control your blood sugar levels ? and all that goes with it ? can be a challenging addition to your life.
You?ll have to do things you may not be used to, like check blood glucose levels throughout the day, pay close attention to what you eat, manage your weight, plan meals, carefully read food labels, take care of your feet and learn how to monitor and avoid further complications.
