  process may require some adjustments to make sure
  the person is enjoying life to its fullest. You

  and healthy life by ensuring you know about their

Educate Yourself About Type 2 Diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease which
  occurs when the bodys immune system attacks and
  destroy the insulin-producing cells in the
  pancreas. Often, it occurs among people who are
  over 35 years of age and when the body is not
  making insulin properly.

Watch for Physical Changes

• If you start to witness differences in your
  loved ones look, mood and mobility its possible
  a decline in health conditions makes it difficult
  for them to manage their diabetes. For instance,
  changes in vision can lead to the inability to
  test blood glucose levels which is considered to
  be an important step in diabetes self care.

5
Ask Whenever In Doubt

• Do have a conversation with your senior loved
  one about how good they are feeling, if their
  health is fine or if they need any assistance
  with daily activities. At times, aging people are
  too proud to ask for any sort of assistance and
  thankful for the offer to help with their
  diabetic care.

Help Loved Ones Make Healthy Choices

• Adequate diabetes management is not just
  about managing blood glucose levels but also
  making healthy lifestyle choices. Make sure to
  assist your loved one to plan nutritious meals
  for the week or invite them for a walk around the
  neighborhood. Indeed, losing just 15-20 pounds
  can bring about a huge difference in their
  overall health and wellness.

7
Encourage Periodic Checkups

• In order to avoid any health complications,
  your senior loved one needs to maintain annual
  visits to their physician and vision and dental
  exams as well. They must also get their
  cholesterol levels and kidneys checked. Help them
  keep a calendar of these so very important health
  appointments.
