Diabetic Ways to Stay Healthy

• Monitor your blood sugar regularly (glucose monitor helps)

• Eat a balanced diet and try to keep your carbs low

• Add some exercise into your daily routine, even if it's a 20 minute walk

• Keep your stress levels low (I know this is hard sometimes, but do what you can)

• Visit your doctor/nurse/dietician/health care provider on a regular basis

• Get your eyes checked at least yearly

• Get a good nights sleep

• Connect with others who have diabetes, sometimes it's nice to share experiences and stories, or helpful tips

• Smile, be positive, and make some positive changes to stay on track
