A diagnosis of diabetes is definitely life changing, but people with the
condition can enjoy a full life doing all the things they love to do. The
key is learning all you can about how to manage your diabetes, and
keep seeking new information.
Experts refer to the ABC's of diabetes (A1c, blood pressure and
cholesterol) as 3 key things for a patient with diabetes to track in order
to prevent long term complications. A1c is sometimes referred to as
"hemoglobin A1c". This blood test tells the patient what their average
blood glucose (or blood sugar) has been over the previous 3 months.

goal, people with diabetes can lower their risk of cardiovascular
disease.
Once you get past the ABC's, remember to stay up-to-date on
vaccines, eye exams, and foot exams. http://www.okoyetech.com/2016/06/how-you-can-manage-diabetes.html?m=1
