A member asked:
What does self-management of diabetes entail?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Awareness and action: Self-management entails monitoring blood glucose, understanding contribution of diet, exercise and illness, administering appropriate medications to keep blood sugars within well-defined boundaries, recognizing complications, knowing when to call for help. Your doctor may see you for only a few minutes out of every month so the vast majority of management of diabetes must be done by you at home.
