4. You have had gestational diabetes or you have had a

baby over 9 lbs.

5. You have high blood pressure.

How to care for you Diabetes:

According to the American Diabetes Association, people

with Diabetes have the same nutritional needs as everyone

else. In addition to prescribed medications, well-balanced

meals may help you keep your blood glucose level as normal

as possible.

Also, just like everyone else, exercise is an important part

of staying healthy. Exercising with diabetes does require a few

extra safety steps that your health care professional can make

you aware of.

Nutritious meals, an exercise routine, and using your

NutriCounter along with the help of your doctor may aid you

in controlling your Diabetes. Diabetes will never truly go away,

but with proper nutrition, exercise and prescribed medications,

it can be controlled.
