In a recent study, the American Diabetes Association estimated that 5.2 million Americans have diabetes and don't even know it. Diabetes is a disease in which your body is unable to properly use and store glucose (a form of sugar). Glucose backs up in the bloodstream -- causing your blood glucose or "sugar" to rise too high. The specific causes of diabetes depend on the type of diabetes that you're diagnosed with. One of the best ways to help control your disease is through diabetes weight management.

Follow these tips to help better control you diabetes.

Monitor your blood sugar at least twice (preferably three times) a day - before meals. Find out if you qualify for free supplies at http://www.americandiabetes.com.
Take your medication correctly - read and following directions, watch expiration dates, and pay attention to any warning labels.
Read food labels - the first thing to look at is SERVING SIZE. Then look at the carbohydrate per serving. Look also at the fat and calories, if appropriate. Do NOT look at the grams of sugar! Proper diabetes diet and nutrition is important to maintain control of your disease.
Eat at regular times - try to stay within 1 hour each day of the usual meal times. Controlling your eating schedule will help you control your blood sugar and lead to better diabetes management. American Diabetes Services offers a variety of diabetes diet and nutrition tips.
Learn the carbohydrate count of foods in the portions you commonly use. Use measuring cups for cereals, pasta, rice, soups and beans. Count out a serving of crackers, pretzels, chips and nuts. Don't forget to get your free diabetes recipes booklet from American Diabetes services!
Living with diabetes doesn't mean you can't eat out. Just make better selections when dining out. Eat smaller portions, ask for the food to be prepared in wine, not oil, order salad dressing on the side and dip and dip your fork. Avoid "sugar free" desserts and have a bite of a regular dessert.
Exercise - with your doctor's approval, do some type of daily activity. The best time to exercise is about 30-60 minutes AFTER breakfast or dinner. Exercise can help improve your body's use of insulin, giving you better diabetes control.
Diabetics are more prone to foot problems, so make sure that proper foot care is part of your diabetes management.
Examine your feet daily - do this with a mirror after you bathe. Always wear proper fitting shoes. Do not go barefoot or wear sandals.
Don't forget your heart - Heart disease causes 65 percent of deaths related to diabetic complications. Maintain good body weight, exercise and decrease the saturated fats as part of your diabetes weight management. This will go a long way towards better diabetes control and preventing heart disease.
