Clinical Management and Self-Management in Diabetes

---

Diabetes management aims to maintain blood glucose levels as near to normal as feasible while being safe. Measures to control blood pressure and cholesterol levels are crucial to diabetes therapy because diabetes may significantly increase the risk for heart disease and peripheral artery disease. Healthy eating, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, adherence to medication, good problem-solving skills, healthy coping mechanisms, and risk-reduction behaviors are the seven crucial self-care behaviors in people with diabetes that predict positive outcomes.
