Foot Care Tips:
People with diabetes should check their feet everyday. Nerve complications can lead to numbness in the feet and may
leave you unaware of injury or infection. Follow these steps to keep feet healthy.
- Check for cuts, abrasions, and corns daily.
- Look for cold or warm areas on your feet which may indicate poor circulation or infection.
- Wear comfortable shoes that do not cause blistering or calluses.
- Test water temperature prior to stepping into the tub to avoid burns.
- Ask your doctor to check your feet at visits.
- Never go outside without shoes on.
Monitor blood sugar as recommended by your doctor and check
your feet each day as a part of staying in good health.

Exercise Tip:
Joining an exercise class can help keep you motivated and consistent with your workouts
because they are offered at set times. Make sure the difficulty level meets your fitness ability and
determine if the instructor is certified to teach exercise classes. Exercise should always include a warm up, heart rate monitoring, and a cool down
period with stretching.

Reviews:
 I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with your menus.
In the one week I've used the menu, my sugar readings have come down and
I've lost 2 pounds. I have a doctor appt. on Wednesday and I'm sure she
will be very happy when I show her my log with all the good foods I'm
eating along with the great numbers I have now. Your site is just what I
needed. Thanks so much.
