How do you manage diabetes?
Hello Thelma116 and welcome to Diabetes India forum.
Diabetes is a complex disorder of the metabolism even though some of its signs are fairly obvious (see healthunlocked.com/diabetes... ) the exact afflictions can have a very wide range.
Have you been diagnosed with diabetes type 1 or type 2?
Are you overweight (see nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educat... to determine you Body Mass Index)?
What medications have you been prescribed?
The Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation (DRWF) website offers a number of informative leaflets for download ( drwf.org.uk/diabetes-leaflets ) that will give you some basic information about diabetes.
