Education for diabetes is important and must be accompanied by action and self-care activities for patients to completely benefit. Self-management activities include behaviors such as adopting a healthy diet plan, avoiding high-fat foods, getting consistent exercise and monitoring your glucose. Lowering glucose levels in the bloodstream may be one of the main goals of diabetes self-management however, it cannot be the only objective for a patient. Changes in activities should also be observed and evaluated for mental and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n
Individuals with diabetes have shown to make a dramatic impact, self- Engaging in regular physical activities is associated with improved health and overall well-being among diabetics. The National Institutes of Health and the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that all adults, including those with diabetes, should engage in regular physical activity. In diabetes, patients are expected to follow a complex set of daily behavioral actions to care for their diabetes. These actions involve engaging in positive lifestyle behaviors, including the following:<\/p>\n The majority of patients with diabetes can significantly reduce the chances of developing long-term complications by improving self-care activities.<\/p>\n Although this routine has been documented to be effective, especially when looking at long-term changes in diabetes management and control, a low percentage of patients make these changes to their lifestyle. At Sunset Health, we want to partner with you to guide you to make changes in your life so you can make best decisions and manage your diabetes. We have designed a Diabetes Self-management program for diabetics and their families providing important education about diabetes, its symptoms, complications, medication, and nutritional habits.<\/p>\n Click below for the following brochures:<\/p>\n Pre-diabetes is a condition characterized by higher than normal blood glucose levels which can lead to type 2 diabetes. However, you can prevent type 2 diabetes from developing by adopting healthy eating habits and exercising regularly. Simple changes in your lifestyle, such as taking regular walks or eating more fruits and healthy grains can dramatically decrease the likelihood of a pre-diabetic condition developing into something more serious.<\/p>\n Type-2 Diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\n When you eat, your body turns certain foods into a type of sugar called glucose. Glucose gives your body the energy it needs to function, but in order to use glucose as energy your body needs insulin. If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not produce a sufficient amount of insulin or does not use it properly, because the cells in your body cannot use glucose in foods as energy. The glucose stays in the blood where it can cause serious problems.<\/p>\n Diabetes has no cure, but it can be kept under control. If you eat a healthy diet, engage in physical activity, and take any medications prescribed to you, you’ll be able to maintain the glucose in your blood within healthy levels. Many people with diabetes live a long and healthy life.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ module_class=”sticky_sidebar” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ background_color=”#faf7f2″ custom_padding=”5%|2%|5%|2%|true|true” _i=”1″ _address=”2.0.1″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mysunsethealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/providers-icon-orange.svg” url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI1MiJ9fQ==@” align=”center” admin_label=”Provider Icon” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ _dynamic_attributes=”url” height=”51px” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” _i=”0″ _address=”2.0.1.0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Find a Provider” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”|800||on|||||” header_2_text_color=”#4681bf” header_2_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||50px||false|false” _i=”1″ _address=”2.0.1.1″]<\/p>\n Search our team of qualified providers who are ready to help.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mysunsethealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/calendar-icon.svg” url=”https:\/\/pxpportal.nextgen.com\/sunsetcommunityhealthcenter-29911\/portal\/#\/user\/login” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”Appointment Icon” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ height=”38px” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” _i=”0″ _address=”0″ global_module=”5233″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Schedule Appointment” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”|800||on|||||” header_2_text_color=”#4681bf” header_2_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”||50px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all” _i=”0″ _address=”0″ global_module=”5235″]<\/p>\n Take the next step toward a healthier future today.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mysunsethealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/services-icon-1.svg” url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjIyMCJ9fQ==@” align=”center” admin_label=”Services Icon” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ _dynamic_attributes=”url” height=”53px” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” _i=”4″ _address=”2.0.1.4″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”More Services” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font=”|800||on|||||” header_2_text_color=”#4681bf” header_2_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”||50px||false|false” _i=”5″ _address=”2.0.1.5″]<\/p>\n Review our full list of services provided to you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”full_width” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ background_color=”#4681bf” z_index=”101″ collapsed=”on” fb_built=”1″ _i=”3″ _address=”3″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.29.3″ width=”100%” _i=”0″ _address=”3.0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″ _i=”0″ _address=”3.0.0″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”35px” header_3_font=”|800||on|||||” header_4_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”|15%||15%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|0%||0%|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _i=”0″ _address=”3.0.0.0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”5px” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ width=”80px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||15px||false|false” _i=”1″ _address=”3.0.0.1″][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”35px” header_3_font=”|800||on|||||” header_4_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”|15%||15%|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|10%||10%|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|10%||10%|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _i=”2″ _address=”3.0.0.2″]<\/p>\n Eating a healthy diet consisting of fruits, grains and vegetables can help you keep your blood glucose level in a safe range.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Diabetes Self-Management Learn how Sunset Health can help you live a full and enjoyable life with diabetesLiving with Diabetes Education for diabetes is important and must be accompanied by action and self-care activities for patients to completely benefit.
