You have discovered that you are diabetic or someone in your family is diabetic. Now you are wondering how to control this disease. Here are few steps that you can do to reverse this disease, lose weight and feel better.

Diet - You have to eat the proper food in the proper amount. Diet is the most effective treatment for your diabetes and this is the best place to start. Follow a diabetic meal plan every day of your life not just at home.

Glucose Monitoring - Take your blood sugar levels as often as required by your physician and write the numbers down. Get organized with your supplies and your journal and take this journal with you to the doctors office.

Exercise - Take a hike! Walk up and down the neighborhood. If you are in great shape then take it a step further, but it isn’t necessary. Try walking for 30 minutes at first and then make it longer if possible.

Habits - Develop good habits. Get organized with your supplies, your diet and your exercise. Know when you get up in the morning what your schedule will be that day. Know that you can control this diabetes and that it will not control you. There is something in having a good attitude or positive attitude that overcomes more than you ever thought you could.

Foot Care - Sometimes with diabetes there is a decreased blood flow to the lower legs and this can cause problems such as infections and loss of feeling. Sometimes you can even have a cut on your foot and you will not realize it because you have lost some feeling in that foot. Just when you take a bath or shower at night examine your feet and keep them very clean. Check your shoes and be sure that they are not rubbing red spots on your feet that could turn into sores later.

These are just a few things that you can do to reverse diabetes. Remember that diet is the most effective because it will supply your body with the right nutrients.
