With a range of associated issues for poorly managed diabetes, including kidney failure, heart disease and stroke, it’s extremely important to have an established care program and daily regimen for diabetes management.

“For the most effective plan, everyone involved in the process including the patient, caretakers and family should be confident in their knowledge of diabetes and how it effects the patient,” says Maguire. “With daily foot inspections, healthy eating habits and accurate blood sugar tracking, it’s very possible for diabetes patients to successfully self-manage their condition.”
