Diabetes Facts

I'm not sure how many diabetics live in the village, but many of my friends have type 2 diabetes.  This is fairly common in the older population.  I have type 2 diabetes and thought I would share some of the things I've learned.  You are the center of a successful plan to improve your blood sugar.  You have to do this yourself.  There is no easy fix: 

• Monitor your blood sugar. 
• See your Health Care Provider regularly. 
• Plan your meals. 
• Take your medicine as prescribed. 
• Exercise as much as you can.

Following a diet plan also helps with weight loss.  The simplest diabetic diet is counting carbs.  One carb serving is 15 grams of carbohydrates.  Most men can set a goal of 4 to 5 carb servings a meal.  Most women can use 3 to 4 carb servings a meal.  Check the serving size of a food.  Count total carbohydrates.  Look for fiber rich foods.  Limit fat cholesterol and sodium.  -- Glenna @ Cimarron Village
