Ongoing Management & Prevention
According to the CDC, effective diabetes management can prevent or delay complications including heart disease, kidney disease, and vision problems. Most patients benefit from A1C testing every 3-6 months, depending on blood sugar control. Between visits, monitor your blood sugar as directed, take medications consistently, maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and attend all follow-up appointments. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience persistent high or low blood sugar, signs of infection, or new symptoms.
