Managing Diabetes: A SciAm Special Report

Filed in archive Challenges , Information , Lifestyle on December 12, 2007

Scientific American has a special report on managing diabetes. We all know what a feat is the day-to-day activities of someone who cares for a diabetic or for a diabetic to live a life with diabetes. However, if done properly and religiously, diabetes can be managed as most can attest to it.

Managing Diabetes: A SciAm Special Report


Diabetes rates have reached epidemic levels, making information on how to manage the disease truly important.

An unfortunate catch-22 of diabetes is that although the right diet and exercise can help with its prevention and management, diabetes itself can complicate both eating and physical activity.

Patients may need to pay extra attention to taking meals on a regular schedule and to monitoring how exercise dehydrates them or lowers their blood glucose.

Some may fail to comply consistently with prescribed regimens that seem inconvenient or unpleasant, thereby raising their risk of complications.

But thanks to leaps in science's understanding of the disease, doctors now wield a diverse and growing arsenal of drugs and management technologies to fight the progression-and even onset-of illness.

People with diabetes have more and better options than ever before for enjoying healthy, active, long lives.
