Steps

  1. Don't fret or get depressed. This is rule number one. You've got a condition which will affect you medically - don't let it hurt you emotionally as well.
  2. Discuss your health with your health professional. This is important. Always seek medical advice.
  3. Look at your diet. Make sure you are eating a healthy diet. The recommended diet for you is the same as the recommended diet for everyone. Take a look at this article for more information.
  4. Exercise regularly. Try going for a walk with your mates, or going to the gym. Different exercise works for different people, so experiment.
  5. Watch what you're putting into your body. A common mistake is believing that having diabetes means you can't eat any sugar. The truth of the matter is that you have to eat the right amount, and balance it with exercise and medication (for some diabetics). Discuss your individual needs with your health professional.

Tips

  • Discuss anything to do with your condition with your health professional.
  • Join a diabetes organisation - they can provide you with support and information. Also consider joining a local diabetes support group.

Warnings

  • Make sure to follow the advice of your health professional. Consult them before you follow any information outlined on the Internet.
