The main goal is to keep blood glucose within a relatively normal range to prevent problems such as heart disease, kidney failure, and blindness.
Diabetes is a long-term problem, so you will need to make lifestyle changes and learn to monitor your condition by:
* Eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight
* Getting regular physical activity and reducing stress levels
* Taking any diabetes-related medication prescribed for you
* Not smoking and only drinking alcohol in moderation, if at all
* Regularly checking your blood sugar
* Consulting your doctor and other relevant health professionals
