Are you carrying too much weight Everyone should try losing weight if they need to, but for diabetics, this is even more important. Make sure you take advice from your GP on a suitable eating plan. Plan half an hour of gentle exercise into your daily schedule. The combination of healthy eating and exercise should see the excess weight coming off in no time at all.

If you've been prescribed medication, make sure you follow the directions on how to take it properly. If you need to have medication at a certain time, or after meals, make sure you do. It's also sensible to take your medication at the same time every day. If you sometimes can't remember if you've taken your medication or not, buy a pill box which has different sections for each day of the week, and sections for different times of the day. Fill it up once a week, and you'll be able to see if you have taken the correct medication each day or not.

Avoid drinks with hidden sugar. Always check the label of any soft drink to see if it contains sugar. If you're visiting a coffee shop, ask the barista if your drink contains sugar if it does, then choose one which doesn't have any sugar. It's really easy to get caught out with sugary drinks that you don't know contain sugar.
Diabetes often causes longterm complications as a result of high blood sugar levels. These complications include high blood pressure, poor vision, high cholesterol, weight gain/loss, skin problems, and neuropathy in hands/feet.
