Many things: This is probably a small space to tackle such a topic, normal blood glucose levels remain the mainstay of diabetes management, with the exact target level individualized for each patient. Annual eye and foot exam. Lipid profile, stopping smoking, Maintaining a normal weight, Eating a healthy diet, Exercising moderately for at least 150 min/wk. Your PCP should also evaluate u Re: statin and aspirin
