1)Understanding the disease.
*Diabetes means your body is not able to use sugar properly,leading to high blood glucose levels.
*The aim of treatment is to keep your blood sugar close to normal to prevent long term complications affecting eyes, kidneys,nerves,heart and feet.
*It is a manageable condition,not a life sentence.
2)Diet and Nutrition.
