Know your numbers and letters: HbA1C, BP, LDL.
Always know your Hemoglobin A1C, Blood Pressure, and LDL-cholesterol level.  Patients who write down their Hemoglobin A1C, Blood Pressure, and LDL-cholesterol levels are more likely to achieve their diabetes goals and reduce their risk of complications.
People with diabetes are recommended to achieve even lower values for LDL-cholesterol and for Blood Pressure than are people without diabetes.
