Diabetes management is as simple as learning the alphabet. Talk to your doctor about how to manage your HbA1C, Blood pressure, and cholesterol. This can help lower your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes problems.
HbA1C Below 6% for Managing Diabetes
- The HbA1C test reflects your blood glucose control over the past 2-3 months.
- Work with your blood to have your own personal HbA1C goal.
- Every 1% over 6% elevates the risk for diabetes complications.
- Your blood glucose will stay lower with exercise and restricted calorie intake.
Blood Pressure Below 120/80 for Managing Diabetes
- Up to 60% of people with diabetes suffer from High Blood Pressure.
- High blood pressure can cause heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.
- Blood pressure remains low when you restrict sodium in your diet.
Cholesterol & Lipid in Check for Managing Diabetes
- The LDL goal for most people is below 100.
- The HDL goal for most people is above 40 for men and 50 for pre-menopausal women.
- Keep triglycerides lower than 150.
If you have diabetes you are more prone to lipid abnormalities and heart disease
- LDL or ”bad” cholesterol can cause clogging of your blood vessels (atherosclerosis) and cause heart attack or stroke.
- LDL stays low when you eat less saturated fat and cholesterol from animal foods..
- HDL or ”good” cholesterol helps remove cholesterol from your blood vessels.
- HDL stays high when you exercise, eat fish and dietary fibers and lead a healthy life.
