text: Unfortunately, diabetes affects millions of people the world over. Within twenty years, diabetes will affect 1 in 10 adults. Whatever form of diabetes you may be dealing with, this guide can aid you in changing your lifestyle to help manage you illness effectively in order to prevent it from damaging you further.
  If you are a diabetic, you have to learn to snack in a healthy fashion. It is probably not necessary for you to ban sweets altogether. If your blood glucose is properly regulated, you can safely eat desserts occasionally. It may be wise to anticipate an after-meal treat by eliminating a certain amount of carbs from your main course.
  See your doctor if you have diabetes and begin to have vision problems. Diabetes can cause various eye problems, such as cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Fix these problems as soon as possible because they have the potential to cause blindness.
  You should watch what you are eating if you have diabetes. Your blood glucose will react to different foods in different ways so it is important to monitor what you are and are not eating. Bigger meals will need higher injections of insulin, and small meals might require less. If you are careful with your eating, though, you can efficiently manage your blood sugar levels.
  Don't be alarmed by high blood sugar after treating a glucose reaction. There can be two reasons for this. One, your body may be releasing hormones in response to low glucose levels. Two, you may be eating too much in response to the low reading. When it next happens, reduce the amount you would eat or drink by half and then recheck your levels 30 minutes later.
