It is important that you do not miss your appointments, blood and urine checks or
diabetes-related complications screening.
Where possible, involve your family, friends, colleagues and others in your care, especially when you
are facing different stages in your life such as a new job, planning to start a family, etc.
You may wish to consider help with the emotional, psychological and social aspects of having
diabetes.
Expect that it may be necessary for changes to be made along the way.
