Conversation #Medical

Talking can help you think differently about diabetes. Relating to other people with diabetes could bring positive changes and help you work through daily challenges, like diet and exercising.

If you have pre-diabetes or diabetes, self-testing your blood sugar (blood glucose) can be an important tool in managing your diabetes and preventing complications. I had pre-diabetes last year; talking and asking helped me a lot. For those that never saw a lancet before, here a little info about them.

"Lancets are small needle-like medical supplies. With a lancet, you can make a tiny prick in your skin to obtain a few drops of blood for testing in a diabetic monitor. Lancing devices are used with lancets. Most have a spring action that allows the lancet to move quickly enough to pierce the skin."
