Staying healthy when you have diabetes isn’t always easy. But understanding how diabetes affects your body can help you make good choices when it comes to eating right, monitoring your blood sugar and taking the right medication. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends education for people diagnosed with diabetes, and many insurance providers, including Medicare, cover diabetes self-management training.
