Diabetes and You
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes, a large part of managing your diabetes is understanding your condition, knowing what insulin or medication options are available, and what you can do to help avoid medical complications in the future.
Studies have shown the importance of blood glucose testing. Educating yourself about the types of testing you should be doing and adapting a "take-charge" attitude towards managing your diabetes will help you stay healthy and in the know. Since diabetes can be treated in different ways, your treatment will depend on your specific condition and what your healthcare professional recommends.
In addition to regular testing as part of your management programme, a healthy routine through nutrition and exercise is important, regardless of what type of diabetes you have. Your healthcare team will help you develop a diabetes management programme that is right for you.
To help make diabetes management easier, Bayer has developed helpful programmes and easy-to-use, accurate products, such as its blood glucose meters with No Coding™ technology.
