Diabetes does not have to control your life. You can control it!

Discover how today’s advances in treatment are simplifying blood sugar control, helping prevent long-term complications, and letting men and women with diabetes live with greater freedom and peace of mind.

Dear CERASALE,

Being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes makes some people feel like control over the future has been pulled from their hands. But the reality is quite the opposite.

Those who fare best and lead the healthiest lives are those who learn as much as they can about diabetes, work vigilantly to control their blood sugar, and take steps to improve their health in other ways.

This Special Health Report tells you what you need to know — and do — for the best self-care possible. Diabetes: A plan for healthy living will give you the skills and tools to manage your diabetes with confidence and success.

Diabetes: A plan for healthy living will prepare you to work with your physician to create an appropriate treatment program that speaks to your individual condition, constraints, and concerns. You will be able to design a program that works for you and with you.

You’ll learn about the two-pronged strategy doctors now recommend for people newly diagnosed with diabetes. You’ll discover why not everyone needs to check their blood sugar at home, and why everyone with diabetes should work to keep their blood pressure and cholesterol in check.

The report will update you on today’s expanding range of medications. A helpful chart compares 19 oral medications for efficacy, side effects, and ease of administration. You’ll also learn about new insulin formulations, other injectable medications, and the role of alternative treatments.

And because lifestyle changes can be so beneficial, the report offers detailed guidance on diet and exercise. You’ll get tips for eating away from home. You’ll learn which exercises improve the body's sensitivity to insulin and the best time of day for a workout.

This report also brings focus to the complications that can arise from diabetes. It will help prepare you to identify and stop low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). You’ll be alerted to the warning signs of ketoacidosis, a potentially deadly condition caused by lack of insulin. And you’ll find valuable insights for avoiding long-term problems including eye disease, nerve damage, and kidney failure.
