Question: My
doctor says I have diabetes, now what am I
supposed to do?
Answer: Take control of your diabetes
yourself. Having a diagnosis of diabetes is not all
doom and gloom. Actually you have more control of
your disease than what you may realize. The short
answer to the above question is……… Do whatever your
doctor says you need to do. In other words, follow
his instructions. King Drug and Home Care
will consult with your physician and provide you
with what is ordered and exactly what all you need.
There are also other important steps you can take to
staying healthy with diabetes. Learn as much as you
can about your disease. There is huge amount of
helpful information available to you from various
resources. A few of them we’d suggest are:• A
Diabetic Educator is skilled at teaching any new
diabetic or re-training any long term diabetic in
the latest methods of controlling diabetes. Your
physician or the staff at King Drug and Home Care
can refer you to one. Often times, Medicare and many
other insurance carriers will pay for this service.
Ask your physician to order a Diabetic Education
consult and in just one session you will be amazed
at how much you learn. You will feel much more
confident and will know what you need to do when you
leave.
