| Diabetes Experts Say, "You're in Charge" |
|
| Experts agree that when it comes to diabetes, you're in charge.
Most of the day-to-day care is up to you. You choose what and how
much to eat. You also decide whether to take your medicine, to check
your blood sugar, and to be active. Luckily, you have help and support.
Your diabetes health care team is there for you. Lean on your team
for health care and support. Your family and friends can learn to
help and support you, too. |
