EAT WELL

In order to

successfully

manage diabetes

and minimise any

complications, you

need to understand

the impact food has

on your BGLs. But

that doesn’t mean

eating boring meals.

Turn to page 74.

MOVE ON UP

If you don’t

already enjoy

exercise it’s because

you haven’t found

what works for you

• yet. There is so
  much research that
  proves moving is
  essential to a healthy
  life. Go to page 80
  and be inspired.

TAKE

CHARGE

You’re the

person who’s in

charge of your

diabetes, however,

there’s no need to

feel alone. Turn to

page 84 for guidance

on how to assemble

the best healthcare

team for you.

BE HAPPY

There’s little

point in eating

well, getting regular

exercise and doing

all your health checks

if you’re not enjoying

life. On page 88 you

can read up on how

to boost your mental

and emotional

wellbeing. Go for it!
