Diabetes Counselors Offer Nutrition Guidence and Medication Management Tips
Diabetes rates in the United States are on the rise, with the Centers for Disease Control raising their estimate of how many Americans have the chronic condition by 9% – to nearly 26 million.
With the growing obesity rates doctors are seeing more obesity related type-2 diabetes.
For these newly diagnosed diabetics, nutritional counseling is an essential part of managing blood sugar and learning how to lead a new, healthier life. By maintaining a diet with proper nutrition and incorporating physical activity into your lifestyle, diabetics can also prevent many of the long-term health conditions associated with diabetes.
