What is diabetes?
Diabetes is diagnosed when your blood sugar is too
high. Did you know that your blood sugar levels
change throughout the day? They are affected by food,
activity, diabetes medications, and other factors
like stress. To reduce the risk of serious
complications, the goal of all diabetes
treatment is to keep your
blood sugar levels in a
healthy range —
not too high and
not too low.

Why test?
Testing with a meter at key times
is an easy way to see:
• If your food choices are working to keep your
blood sugar levels in range—or not
• How well diabetes medications are working
to keep your blood sugar levels under control

Plus, knowing if your blood sugar level is high or low, and
why, means you can take action to get it back in range.
And knowing that your blood sugar is in range lets
you get back to enjoying life. Always follow your
healthcare provider’s recommendations
for testing and for blood sugar

Tips for
better balanced meals
• Eat at least one dark green vegetable, like collards or spinach, and one orange vegetable, such as peppers or carrots, each day
TIP
If you find yourself feeling hungry with
your meal plan for diabetes, try starting
meals with a low-carb salad or a broth-based
soup with plenty of non-starchy vegetables.
You’ll find a complete assortment of healthy
vegetables at your local Walmart®.
• Have vegetables and fruit more often than juice
• Consume fat-free milk or lowfat dairy every day
• Have meat alternatives, such as beans, lentils, and
tofu, often
• Eat at least two servings of fish every week
• Include a small amount of unsaturated fat every day (like nuts, avocados, and olive oil)
• Satisfy your thirst with water instead of full-calorie
soft drinks
• Make at least half your grain products whole grain
every day (brown rice, oatmeal, 100% or sprouted
whole-wheat bread)

Tips for better balanced meals Health | 15
Build a better meal
Visualize portion sizes
Divide your plate into sections, like the plate below.
Be sure your vegetable and starch and protein
portions match with the example proportions below.
Add a serving of lowfat dairy and fruit for dessert and
enjoy! This will help you achieve a well-balanced meal.
Sometimes there are no food labels or scales to
measure the carbohydrate in your meal, like when
you’re eating out. So here’s an easy way to estimate
portions of different kinds of food to help you keep
track of your carbs.
Non-Starchy
Vegetables
(at least two kinds)
Starch
(potato, rice,
corn, peas)
Palm of hand =
3-ounce serving of cooked
meat, fish, or poultry
Protein
(fish, lean meat,
chicken, beans,
eggs)
Fist* =
1 cup of pasta
or fruit
16 | Health Tips for better balanced meals
Thumb =
1 ounce of cheese
*Given that men’s and women’s hand
sizes vary, amounts can vary.
Tennis ball =
1 serving of milk, yogurt,
or fresh greens
Tips for better balanced meals Health | 17
Use in moderation: salt, fat, & sugar
and cheese. A small amount of saturated fat each day
is ok, but zero trans fat is best.
The less salt, the better
Eating too much sodium may increase your
risk of developing high blood pressure, heart
disease, and stroke. Start by removing the salt
shaker from the table. Then add salt sparingly,
if at all, when cooking.
The skinny on sugar
Though it might be delicious, sugar may
contribute a lot of calories and carbohydrate
if consumed in excess. That’s why no-calorie
sweeteners are smart choices for replacing
sugar in baking, cooking, or sweetening. Not
all no-calorie sweeteners are heat-stable, so
be sure to check with the manufacturer.
The following foods are generally high in sodium:
• Canned vegetables and meats
• Processed snack foods
• Crackers, chips, cookies, pretzels
Best of all, there are now more choices than ever before:
• Saccharin (no-calorie, artificial sweetener)
• Aspartame (no-calorie, artificial sweetener)
• Frozen entrees and snack foods
Good vs. bad fat
Bad fats can contribute to heart disease. Good
fats are healthy for you and can actually protect
your heart when consumed in appropriate
amounts. You’ll find good fats (monounsaturated
and polyunsaturated fats) in nuts and seeds, olive
and canola oils, and avocados.
Bad fats (saturated fats and trans fats) are found in
animal products, such as butter, bacon, sausage, meat,
18 | Health Tips for better balanced meals
• Sucralose (no-calorie, artificial sweetener)
• Acesulfame potassium (also called Acesulfame K) (no-calorie, artificial sweetener)
• Stevia/Rebaudioside A (no-calorie, natural sweetener)

• When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into glucose. Glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream
• Insulin helps the blood sugar enter your cells, where it can be stored or used for energy
• Eating about the same amount of carbs at meals and snacks can help keep your blood sugar levels in your target range
• If you check your blood sugar level before meals and then again 2 hours afterward, you’ll begin to get a picture of how your body responds to the amount of carbs you are eating and if changes are needed

Answer:
Of all the things that affect your blood sugar levels,
food has one of the biggest effects. Especially foods with
carbohydrate (carbs, for short). Your body uses carbs for
energy, but they raise your blood sugar level higher and
faster than other kinds of nutrients. What’s more, diabetes
is different for everyone, including the way various foods
affect blood sugar levels. So the goal is to plan meals with
the right amounts of carbs for your body.
FIND THE CARBS QUIZ
Check the foods that contain carbohydrates.
Peach, toast, skim milk, sandwich bread, oatmeal cookie, soda cracker, broccoli,
potato, apple, cereal, raisins, peanut butter.

Counting carbs
Counting carbs is one way to create meals
and snacks that will help you stay in your
blood sugar level range. Food labels list the
number of carbs in grams (g) per serving.
Generally, adults need 45 to 60 grams
of carbs in each meal for energy, but it
depends on how your body handles carbs.
Consult a registered dietitian or other
healthcare professional for the amount
that’s right for you.

Common carb counts
Don’t forget!
The following chart gives you an idea of what
15 grams of carbs (1 carb choice) looks like for many of your
favorite foods. So you’ll have an idea of how many carbs
you’re consuming, even if there’s no package handy.
The following are a couple of reminders to help you
manage your diet and achieve optimal glycemic (blood sugar)
control. Remember: variety, moderation, and balance are
key to healthy eating.
15 GRAMS OF CARBS — 34 DIFFERENT WAYS
Starches/Grains/Sweets
• 1 slice bread or small roll
• ¼ of a 4-oz. bagel
• ½ English muffin
• ¾ cup dry, unsweetened cereal
• ½ cup unsweetened hot cereal
• ¹∕³ cup cooked pasta
or rice
• ½ cup peas or corn
• ¼ large potato
• ½ cup beans/lentils
• 1 pancake (4-inch diameter)
• 1 frozen waffle (4-inch diameter)
• 6 saltine crackers
• 3 cups popcorn
• ¾ ounce pretzels
• 1 tablespoon sugar
Dairy
• 1 cup milk
• 6 oz. artificially sweetened yogurt
• 1 cup plain, lowfat yogurt
• ½ cup ice cream
24 | Health Food facts
Fruits
• 1 small apple
• 1 small banana
• 4 apricots
• ¾ cup blueberries
• ¹∕³ small cantaloupe
• ½ large grapefruit
• ¾ cup mandarin oranges
• ½ papaya
• 1 medium peach
• ½ large pear

Eat lean proteins, as well as a variety of fruits and vegetables,
nonfat and lowfat dairy products, and whole grains
• When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into glucose. Glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream
• Insulin helps the blood sugar enter your cells, where it can be stored or used for energy
• Eating about the same number of carbs at your meals and snacks can help to keep your blood sugar levels in your target range
• Space your meals out consistently, and do not skip meals — these are both important principles in diabetes management
• If you check your blood sugar level before meals and then again 2 hours afterward, you’ll begin to get a picture of how your body responds to the number of carbs you are eating and if changes are needed

Get active
The proven positive effects of physical activity
can’t be overstated. On top of all the health
benefits you might know of, like building up your
heart health, getting more activity is a great way
for people with diabetes to help improve
blood sugar control. For people with
type 2 diabetes, activity can help to
boost your body’s ability to use
the insulin it makes, which helps
lower your blood sugar levels.
28 | Fitness Get active
Get active Fitness | 29
Getting started
Working up to 150 minutes of moderate-intensity
aerobic activity (like brisk walking) every week
is suggested. Be sure to talk to your healthcare
professional before you begin any physical activity
or exercise program, especially since exercise
can have an effect on blood sugar levels. Find
an activity you enjoy, so you can stick with it. For
example, walking at a brisk clip is popular because
it’s easy on your joints and you don’t need any
fancy equipment.
30 | Fitness Get active
Not keen on walking? Try riding a bike or check your
local recreational center for aquatic programs. Even
household chores like raking leaves, vacuuming, or
washing the car count as activity. Keep track of your
active time, and you’ll be surprised how easy it can be
to fit 20 minutes (or more) into your day.
Get active Fitness | 31
Exercising safely with diabetes
It is not uncommon for people with diabetes to experience
hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar levels, during or after
exercise. If this happens, treat it immediately. Use the same
process as you would at any other time of the day:
• Consume at least 15–20 grams of fast-acting carbohydrate (sports drinks, regular soda, or glucose
tabs are all effective)
• Wait 15–20 minutes and check your blood sugar level again
• If it is still low and your symptoms don’t go away, repeat the treatment
• After you feel better, be sure to eat your regular meals and snacks as planned to keep your blood sugar level up
If low blood sugar levels regularly interfere with your
exercise routine, talk to your healthcare provider about
adjusting your diabetes management plan. Your provider
might suggest eating a small snack before you exercise, or
they might make an adjustment to your medication(s). For
people engaging in long-duration exercise, a combination
of these two regimen changes is often necessary to
prevent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) during
and after exercise.

Healthy tips
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle day to day is
important and can help to reduce your risk of
developing complications from diabetes.
HERE ARE SOME AREAS TO WATCH:
Here are some areas to watch:
A1C
This blood test measures blood sugar control over the
past 90 days. A1C should be tested two to four times a
year, depending on how well your blood sugar levels are
managed and/or whether you have had a recent change in
your diabetes medications or management plan. The goal
for A1C levels is less than 7.0 percent.
Smoking Cessation
If you smoke, quit! It is never too late to quit smoking.
Cigarette smoking is a strong risk factor for developing
heart and lung disease. Ask your healthcare provider to
help you quit smoking.
36 | Fitness Healthy tips
Oral Care
When you’re living with diabetes, you are more
susceptible to gum inflammation and you’re at a higher
risk for developing the advanced stage of gum disease—
periodontitis. Maintaining a consistent oral care routine
is crucial to your oral health. The basic steps of daily
brushing, flossing, and rinsing are the same for you as
for everyone who wants a cleaner, healthier mouth, but
vigilance is key.
Foot Care
Diabetes increases your risk for foot problems. You should
inspect your feet every day for signs of redness, warmth,
swelling, or calluses. These are early warning signs of
conditions that can lead to serious foot problems. Tell your
healthcare provider if you have any of these symptoms.
In addition, people with diabetes should have their feet
inspected by their healthcare provider during each visit.
You should also have a complete sensory foot exam done
by your healthcare provider every year.
Eye Exam
People who have diabetes should have a dilated retinal
(eye) examination every year. Early detection and
treatment of changes in your eyes can often prevent
blindness. Remember, this is a special eye exam and is
different than having your vision checked for glasses.
Healthy tips Fitness | 37
Skin Care
Managing diabetes is about eating right, exercising, and
following your doctor’s recommendations. But there are
other considerations. For instance, many people with
diabetes don’t realize the importance of skin care.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
•
HYDRATE – Keeping skin hydrated with a moisturizing body lotion or
cream helps relieve the itch associated with dry skin while preventing
irritation and cracking. Dry skin thoroughly and moisturize with lotion
or cream after a shower or bath. Be sure the lotion or cream is fully
absorbed before getting dressed.
Do not use creams or lotions on open wounds.
•
CLEAN AND DRY – Ensuring that skin is always clean and dry helps
prevent fungal growth and harmful bacteria from developing into
infections.
•
CHECK AND TREAT – Checking skin daily for cracks and treating
problems straight away helps prevent infections. The American Diabetes
Association® recommends avoiding harsh antiseptics and talking to a
doctor before using an antibiotic cream or ointment.
•
AVOID very hot baths and showers. Hot water can remove natural oils
from skin, making it dry and itchy. Try showering or bathing with warm
water and limit your time in the water to 10 minutes or less. If your skin
is dry, don’t use bubble baths. Moisturizing soaps may help.
•
ALWAYS DRINK PLENTY OF WATER – It’s wise to cut down on alcohol
and caffeine, since these substances can dehydrate the body, robbing
the skin of fluids.
•
REMEMBER TO WEAR SUNSCREEN – Sun exposure can damage your
skin’s ability to protect itself, so choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen
with an SPF of 15 or higher. Also, apply a lip balm with an SPF of 15 to
help moisturize and prevent chapped lips.

38 | Fitness Healthy tips
Depression
It’s not uncommon for people with diabetes to develop
depression. Trying to focus on doing the right thing all the
time can be draining, and it can be disheartening when
things don’t go right. It’s important to be alert for the signs
and symptoms of depression. Just as diabetes can be
diagnosed, monitored, and treated, so can depression.
•
Feelings of sadness almost every day, throughout the day
•
Not performing as well at school or work
•
•
Changes in appetite or weight
•
•
•
Loss of interest in work, hobbies, people, or sex
•
•
Feeling agitated or sluggish
•
•
Crying easily or wanting to cry, but not being able to
•
Having thoughts of suicide (these should always
be taken seriously; reach out to those around you right away)
Problems sleeping
Withdrawing yourself from family or friends
Feeling hopeless, guilty, or having low self-esteem
Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions
Feeling out of touch with reality
Healthy tips Fitness | 39
Eye Exam
People who have diabetes should have a dilated retinal (eye) examination
every year. Early detection and treatment of changes in your eyes can
often prevent blindness. Remember, this is a special eye exam and is
different than having your vision checked for glasses.
Flu Vaccine
The flu can be a serious illness for people with diabetes. It is
important that you get a flu vaccine every year. You should
plan to get your flu vaccine as soon as it is available, usually
in September.
Pneumonia Vaccine
A pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for everyone
with diabetes beginning at two years of age. A second
dose is recommended when you are 65 years of age or
older, as long as it has been at least five years since your last
pneumococcal vaccine. Talk with your healthcare provider
about getting a pneumococcal vaccine.
Hepatitis Vaccine
The hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for
adults with diabetes who are 19–64 years of age.
Talk with your healthcare
provider to see if the
hepatitis B vaccine
is right for you.
