Diabetes - Treatment
Diabetes is treated with a combination of diet, exercise and medications.
You may also be referred to a:
· Dietitian, to advise you on healthy eating
· Podiatrist, for foot care
· Dentist, to ensure your gums and teeth are well maintained
· Clinical Nurse Specialist, to help you with diabetes management
· Optometrist, to monitor your eyes.
The amount of sugar in the blood varies throughout the day but normally remains within a narrow range (usually 4 – 8 mmol/L). Even with medication it tends to be slightly higher in people with diabetes, but you will learn what level is your best target.
You will receive lots of information about what you can do to manage your diabetes when, and after, you attend the clinic.
