Day by Day Diabetes echoes the strength, health, hope, and happiness that we have seen among our friends and family with diabetes.
Diabetes is a challenge, an opportunity to take charge, a time to take stock of our lives. Since many have no symptoms it is easy to pretend diabetes does not exist, yet we know diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, amputations, and kidney failure. These complications of diabetes can delayed or prevented with good diabetes control. The good news is that we have been shown by, young and old alike, that diabetes can be controlled.
The key for diabetic success is different for each person but diabetes can be an opportunity to improve your total health. This calendar outlines many of the essential elements that can lead to successful diabetes control. Using this knowledge to choose a healthier lifestyle isn't always easy, yet many, many do and so can you.
