Daily Tips

See a CDE. Make an appointment with a certified diabetes educator to get smart about your diabetes control.

Deconstruct your diet. Log your eating patterns and share the information with a registered dietitian, who can help you plan meals and make healthier food choices.

Test, don’t guess. Testing your blood glucose is the best way to learn how your body reacts to different foods, activities, and situations.

Call your insurance company. Now is a good time to make sure any new diabetes-related healthcare providers are in your network and to verify your coverage for medication and testing supplies.

Get your team together. Diabetes requires a team of specialists. Start gathering referrals for an endocrinologist, diabetes educator, registered dietitian, ophthalmologist, podiatrist, and other necessary healthcare providers.
