Getting Acquainted
with Diabetes
Controlling Diabetes : -
Diabetes can be
controlled through effective management of the balance of sugar (or glucose)
and insulin, to enable your body to function well. Your Physician and health
care team will tailor an individualized therapy routine to your need. This
may include special attention to your diet, a plan for exercise, and
possibly medication in the form of injections of insulin or pills to be
taken orally. The diet plan will help you control your intake of food as
well as your weight. The amount of exercise you do will determine the rate
at which your body demands sugar to produce energy, and insulin will
regulate how fast and effectively the sugar is used to meet your needs for
energy.
