Good diabetes care also means careful eating, so make an effort to learn how to prepare healthy meals with low carbohydrate content. You can make a start by purchasing a diabetic cookbook, or by scouring the Internet for diabetic recipes.
Paying close attention to your feet is an important part of good diabetes care. Even a bad case of athlete's foot can cause cracks in the skin of your feet that can develop infections that you might not notice until it's too late. Consult a podiatrist or your diabetes physician if you have any concerns.
If you're serious about fighting your diabetes, don't just depend on one doctor -- set up a diabetes care team. You should have an endocrinologist, an internist, and a podiatrist on your team, not to mention a consulting dietician, a good pharmacist, and even your dentist.
