Diabetes Wellness News Article of the month:
Make 2010 Your Year of Good Health
As the end of 2009 approaches it is important to consider how you can make 2010 an even better year than 2009. You have read in this newsletter many times how small steps yield big rewards. Close out this year with a plan for 2010 to be your healthiest year ever. I have compiled some suggestions to start your thought process. Keeping healthy takes effort, so begin planning now for a healthy New Year.
Get good medical care. Prevention is essential for good health. Schedule appointments with your health care provider – know your numbers. It is important that you know what your A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol and other lab test results are. Are you where you should be? If not, what do you need to do to get there? Schedule a visit to the ophthalmologist for your yearly eye exam and your podiatrist for a foot exam and nail trimming.
