After being diagnosed with diabetes it is necessary to reconsider a change in both food and daily habits:
- Eating healthy is necessary to maintain ideal weight.
- Stay active, exercise regularly.
- Learning to cope with everyday challenges. Education is the cornerstone to managing diabetes: when a patient is well informed about his condition and follows instructions correctly, there’s less risk of complications and a better quality of life.
- Have a positive attitude.
- Diabetes can trigger a number of acute and chronic complications, so it is important to conduct periodic reviews to detect and monitor any complications.
