Take your medications as prescribed.

Your diabetes treatment plan may include insulin and/or oral diabetes medications to help keep your blood sugar normal. You may also need medication for other related health problems, like high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Work closely with your doctor to take your medicines exactly as prescribed. It’s important to know the name, dose, and how-to for each of the medications you’re taking.

Don’t forget to get these other health checks and tests:

  • Blood pressure: Have your blood pressure checked at every office visit, or at least once a year. You should aim for a blood pressure reading of <less than 140/90 mm Hg>.
  • Kidney screening: Get a urine and blood test to check your kidney function and detect problems early.
  • Foot exam: Have your feet examined at every visit.
