A few words from the authors...

When you have diabetes, taking care of yourself can seem very complicated. The food you eat, your physical activity level, your medications, getting ill, your stress level, and even how much sleep you get affects your blood sugar levels. When your blood sugar is not in control, you risk serious complications. Luckily, you have the power to manage your blood sugar and give yourself very good prospects of a healthy and active life.

We have designed My Diabetes Organizer™ to help you keep track of the many things that people with Type 2 diabetes are advised to do as part of a diabetes management plan. Your doctor and certified diabetes educator will play an integral part in customizing the forms in this book for your individual needs.

It is our greatest hope that this organizer will make it easier for you to stay on top of your diabetes self-care and lead you on the way to living a healthy, active life!
