3.  Eat breakfast.

Did you know that your first meal of the day can help prevent highs or lows later in the day?  Having a balanced breakfast including protein and moderate amounts of proper carbohydrate can help stabilize glucose levels and keep sugar cravings at bay later in the day.  Many types of glucose lowering medications work more efficiently when meals and snacks are spaced evenly throughout the day.

4.  Check your feet.

Inspect your feet each day for small cuts, blisters, sores and other problems.  Make sure your doctor is aware of any issues you may be having with your feet so they can make sure these places heal properly.  Ask your health professional for foot care tips to help keep your feet in good shape. They may also recommend special shoes designed to help protect your feet.
