Diabetes Care Team
Living with a chronic disease daily can be difficult and tiring, this is why it is crucial to build a support network to help ease the emotional and physical burden of living with diabetes. It is important to set up your own ‘diabetes care team’ as they will help lead you to a path of control and provide guidance and support. Who can be a part of your diabetes care team? It can be anyone who helps provide comfort and assistance

Talk To Your Doctor
Make a list of things that concern you and discuss them with your doctor at your next appointment. If you feel stressed, anxious, angry, or depressed, be sure to share those feelings with your doctor.
Know What You Eat
Pay attention to what you're eating. Keep a food log. Count carbs. Portion control is important, as is avoiding foods that are high in sugar.
Exercise
Exercise should be part of the way you treat your diabetes every day! There are now step counter apps available for most smartphones that will help you understand how much you're doing. This is a very healthy way of managing your diabetes.
Look at your Feet Daily
Diabetes can reduce nerve function, so you might not feel cuts or bruises that would normally cause pain. Check the bottoms of your feet, rub skin cream on them at night, make sure to have shoes that fit properly, and ask your doctor to look at your feet at every visit.
See the Dentist
Common dental problems can have important effects on diabetes, and most people with diabetes should have at least two dental examinations every year.
See an Ophthalmologist
Fortunately, eye problems do not affect many people with diabetes, but when these occur, they can be very bothersome, and there are now extremely effective ways of preventing and treating most of them.
