DIABETES: WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU NEED?
To take command of your diabetes you need to know what is happening in your body. To do this, you need to know what resources are available to help you to gather this information and to use it to manage your diabetes.The effects of diabetes upon the body can be divided into biochemical and physical factors. The lack of insulin or its failure to act properly at the surface of the body’s cells leads to many changes in body chemistry. The most obvious, and in practical terms the most important, is an accumulation of glucose in the blood stream because it cannot enter the cells. High blood glucose levels may cause immediate symptoms (for example, thirst and passing urine frequently). In combination with other as yet unidentified factors, they may cause long-term physical damage to body tissues. You therefore need to know:1. What your blood glucose level is2. What effect (if any) the diabetes is having on your body over the years.
