Let's start at the beginning
You have diabetes. Now what?
In 2021, the International Diabetes Federation estimated that 1 in 10 adults worldwide had diabetes, and that almost half of these people were not yet diagnosed.1 Diagnosis is an important first step in managing your diabetes.
Learning that you have diabetes can come as a shock
and be overwhelming. At OneTouch.com,
you’ll find a great deal of information about
diabetes, such as the
different types, signs and symptoms, and tips on how
to manage your condition, including monitoring blood
glucose and taking medicines as prescribed. We’ll
explain the basics of nutrition, physical activity and
other ways to take
care of yourself to help reduce your risk for diabetes
complications. In short, we’ll give you tips and tools
to help you choose a path that works for you, so that
you can thrive.
When you successfully manage your diabetes, you can
improve your health and lower your chances for
long-term health risks — you can live a long and
healthy life with diabetes. Successful diabetes
management starts with knowing your
numbers. Tracking your blood glucose levels is key.
Know your target range and how to adjust your habits
when your glucose levels are high or low.
The key is to commit yourself to doing your personal best. What’s your why? Finding your purpose for embarking on a journey to improve your health will help motivate and keep you on your path to enjoying a well-lived life.
