In your body, the food you eat turns to sugar. Your blood takes this sugar all over the body. Insulin helps get sugar from the blood into the body for energy. Your body does not get the fuel it needs, and your blood sugar stays high. High blood sugar can cause heart and kidney problems, blindness, stroke, the loss of a foot or leg, or even kill you. The Good News…You Can Manage Diabetes Watch what you eat and get exercise, use medicines wisely and check your blood sugar. Types of Diabetes Type 1 - The body does not produce any insulin. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day to stay alive. Type 2 - The body does not make enough, or use insulin well. Most people with diabetes have type 2. Some women get diabetes when they are pregnant. Watch What You Eat and Get Exercise There is no one diet for people with diabetes. Work with your team to come up with a plan for you. You can eat the foods you love by watching serving sizes. Carbohydrates raise your blood sugar the most. The “Nutrition Facts” label on foods can help. Many packaged foods contain more than 1 serving. The foods we eat are made up of: Carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, breads, juices, milk, cereals and desserts) Fats Protein Cholesterol Fiber (fruits, vegetables, beans, breads, and cereals) Be active at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week Exercise helps your body's insulin work better. It also lowers your blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol. Use Medicines Wisely Sometimes people with diabetes need to take pills or take a shot (insulin). Be sure to follow the directions. Ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist what your medicines do, when to take them, and if they have any side effects. Have your doctor, pharmacist or nurse report serious problems with medicines or medical devices to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 Check Your Blood Sugar and Know Your ABCs Help prevent heart disease and stroke by controlling your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Make a plan with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. Check your blood sugar using a meter (home testing kit). This tells what your blood sugar is so you can make wise choices. Ask your doctor for an A-1-C (A-onesee) blood test. It measures blood sugar levels over 2-3 months.
