Diabetes Care

Talk with Your Healthcare Professional

Your diabetes care starts with a conversation. If you have recently been diagnosed, have questions about your current care, or want to discuss your risk for diabetes, make an appointment with your clinic health professional.

Your visit is an opportunity to discuss questions such as:

  • What do my blood sugar results mean?

  • What should I know about my medications?

  • How can food choices and physical activity fit into my care plan?

  • What follow-up appointments or screenings do I need?
