 Why Take Care of Yourself?

The Best Investment You Can Make:
Taking Care of Yourself
 

Good diabetes self-care pays off in avoiding complications.

  • Research shows that keeping blood sugars in a healthy range helps stave off complications.
  • Even small improvements in your lifestyle and your diabetes routine can have positive medical effects. You have everything to gain!
     

Most people with diabetes feel better - physically and mentally - when their blood sugars are in good control.
 

Meeting a challenge makes people feel good. Diabetes is a challenge.

  • If you meet a challenge by handling the situation, as best as you can, you feel good about yourself. If you feel bad about how you are handling things, you don't feel as good about yourself.
    If you do develop some problems later in life, you will feel like you did your best. You will have less guilt and anger, and more energy to deal with the problems that life hands you.
