Suffering from diabetes? Without proper management or positive changes, diabetes problems can continue to escalate.
Losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and taking your medications as prescribed by your online doctor all are steps to keep your diabetes controlled. Adhere to your scheduled appointments with the doctor and notify them if anything in your health changes.
