Tip of the Week:

Get your eyes checked annually.  Retinopathy is an eye complication associated with diabetes.  Controlling blood sugar and regular eye doctor visits can help to prevent this complication. The American Diabetes Association recommends having a thorough eye exam when you are diagnosed with diabetes if you are over the age of 30 and every year thereafter.

Exercise Tip:

Daily exercise helps with both weight loss & blood sugar control.  The standard recommendation for exercise is 30 minutes each day, 5 days per week.  Avoid taking any more than 2 consecutive days off from exercise (American Diabetes Association).
