Managing Your Diabetes: An Introduction Diabetes is a chronic disease that can cause serious health complications, so it's important to take an active role in managing the disease. This series, produced in partnership with American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE), reviews the AADE7 Self-Care BehaviorsTM, seven approaches to healthier behavior for people with diabetes. Managing Your Diabetes: Being Active Being active is an important part of being healthy, and not just by helping you lose weight. Activity gets your heart rate up, burns calories and strengthens your muscles and bones. That, in turn, lowers blood sugar and cholesterol, improves blood pressure and can improve your mood by lowering stress and anxiety. Managing Your Diabetes: Healthy Coping Life is filled with stress from traffic jams to more serious issues such as divorce or money problems. Add in the challenges of managing diabetes, and stress sometimes can feel overwhelming. It's important to find healthy ways to cope because having a lot of stress can increase your blood sugar levels. There are many healthy ways to cope with stress so you don't turn to harmful habits such as smoking, overeating, drinking alcohol or being less active. Managing Your Diabetes: Healthy Eating Having diabetes does not mean you have to give up your favorite foods or stop eating in restaurants. In fact, there is nothing you can't eat. But you need to know that the foods you eat affect your blood sugar or blood glucose. By eating regular meals, thinking about the amount and types of food you eat, you can better control your diabetes and prevent other health problems. 2 of 17 10/21/2018

3 Diabetes (continued) Managing Your Diabetes: Monitoring When you have diabetes, your body doesn't properly manage blood sugar (glucose), its main source of fuel. To keep your blood sugar level on target and avoid problems with your eyes, kidneys, heart and feet, you may need to take medication. But you also need to monitor your blood sugar to see if it's too high or too low, so that you can get it back on track and prevent long-term health problems. Managing Your Diabetes: Problem Solving Planning meals, snacks and activities is critical to maintaining your target blood sugar range. But sometimes things don't go as planned and an unexpected curve ball can wind up sending your blood sugar in the wrong direction. At times like these, you'll have to problem solve and then learn from the experience to prevent something similar from happening in the future. Managing Your Diabetes: Reducing Risks Taking control of your diabetes will help you head off the complications that can come with it. You can reduce your risk of heart attacks, stroke, damage to your kidneys and nerves, and loss of vision by keeping your blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure in check. A diabetes educator can help you find the best ways to eat healthy, be active, monitor your blood sugar, take medication, solve problems and cope in a healthy way. Managing Your Diabetes: Taking Medication Like many people with diabetes, you may need to take medication to help keep your blood sugar (glucose) level steady. Diabetes increases your risk for other health conditions, such as heart or kidney related problems, so you may need to take medicine to help with those, too. Prediabetes and Proper Diet Patients with prediabetes, that's an elevated blood sugar not in the diabetic range, can stay healthy if they make the right lifestyle choices. Exercising and eating right are a key part of that plan. Learn some simple tips to making healthy lifestyle choices. Prediabetes: An Overview Prediabetes is a common condition usually seen in patients who are overweight or obese. Not appropriately addressed, this condition of elevated blood sugars could go on to become full-blown diabetes. Little lifestyle changes related to diet and activity can go a long way to preventing diabetes. Prediabetes: Increasing Activity Patients with prediabetes have an elevated blood sugar that's not quite high enough to warrant a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. In order to reduce the risk of diabetes, patients need to maintain a healthy lifestyle with plenty of activity and exercise. Diabetes (continued) Your Care at Home: Checking Blood Sugar If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you need to learn how to take your blood sugar readings using a home blood glucose meter. Watch this instructional program to learn how to test with accuracy and minimal discomfort. Includes information on target levels, how to treat a blood sugar low, logging, and more.

This step-by-step demonstration of how to take insulin by syringe or pen teaches easy and pain-free ways to inject insulin. Also includes tips on storage, preparation, and sharps disposal.

Healthy Aging Advance Directives: Making Your Wishes Known - Creating an Advance Directive Advance directives, which describes the kind of medical care an individual would want if they were too ill or hurt to express their wishes, is an important consideration for anyone over the age of 18.

Advance Directives: Making Your Wishes Known - Organ/Tissue Donation One very important type of Advance Directive is when an individual designates that they want to donate their organs or tissues, whether upon their death, or during life, for example by giving up bone marrow or one kidney to someone in need of a transplant. This program explores the importance of organ/tissue donation through the experiences of a transplant recipient and a donor family. Advance Directives: Making Your Wishes Known - Types of Advance Directives Advance Directives are written, legal forms which let you provide health care instructions and appoint a decision maker to carry out your medical wishes should you not be able to speak for yourself. Every state has its own Advance Directive model documents which should be followed to ensure your forms are legal. It's up to you how specific you wish them to be. 3 of 17 10/21/2018
