About Diabetes
If you or someone you care for has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, it is natural for you to feel scared or confused. In the beginning, you many feel overwhelmed. To help alleviate that worry and stress, we have outlined some basic information about living with diabetes.
A large part of managing your diabetes is understanding your condition, knowing what medications and treatments are available, and what you can do to avoid medical complications in the future.
Studies have shown the importance of blood glucose testing. Educating yourself about the types of testing you should be doing and adapting a “take-charge” attitude towards managing your diabetes will help you stay healthy and in the know. Since diabetes can be treated in different ways, your treatment will depend on what your doctor recommends. In addition to regular testing as part of your management program, a healthy routine through nutrition and exercise may also be developed with the help of your healthcare team.
At first, this may seem like a lot of work and even a bit overwhelming. To help make diabetes management easier, Bayer has developed helpful programs and easy-to-use, accurate products, such as its blood glucose meters with No Coding™ technology. No Coding™ technology eliminates steps during testing, allowing you more time to focus on other aspects of your diabetes management program.
If you use a Bayer blood glucose meter, such as the CONTOUR® or the BREEZE®2 meter, you also have access to more diabetes management tools, information and news as part of the Bayer Easy C.A.R.E. program. It’s simple to join and it’s FREE. Join today at www.bayereasycare.com.
