Your doctor says you have diabetes. It's not the end of the world. This information will help you learn how to take care of your diabetes and how to prevent some of the serious problems that diabetes can cause.
We wrote this document with help from people like yourself, who have diabetes and wanted more information about it. We hope "Do Your Level Best" will answer many of your questions. You may want to share this document with your family or friends so that they too will understand more about diabetes and how they can help you live a healthy life.
And, remember, you can always ask your doctor or nurse any questions you might have. |
