Your doctor will help you make a diabetes treatment plan that is right for you - and that you can understand. You may also need other\u00a0<\/span><span>medical<\/span><span> professionals in your diabetes care team, including a nutritionist, eye doctor, and diabetes specialist (endocrinologist).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Treatment of diabetes mellitus requires careful monitoring of blood sugar levels (and adherence to the target set by your doctor) using a combination of\u00a0<\/span><span>medicines<\/span><span>\u00a0,\u00a0<\/span><span>physical <\/span><span>exercises<\/span><span>\u00a0and diet. By paying close attention to what and when you eat, you can minimize or avoid the \"swing effect\" of rapidly changing blood sugar levels, which may require rapid changes in medication doses, especially\u00a0<\/span><span>insulin<\/span><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"6-7\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span>Lifestyle changes in diabetes mellitus<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span>Wear a medical identification tag. <\/span><\/strong>It is recommended that you wear a MedicAlert bracelet or tag that says you have diabetes. This will let others know about your condition in case you have a serious hypoglycemic attack and cannot comprehend yourself, or if you are in an accident and need emergency medical attention.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span>Take care of your teeth. <\/span><\/strong><span>Be sure to take good care of your teeth and floss regularly. Diabetes can complicate gum disease.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>If you have <strong>stress<\/strong>you may exercise less, drink more and not monitor your diabetes as closely. <\/span><span>Stress<\/span><span>\u00a0can also raise blood sugar levels and make you less sensitive to insulin. When you are stressed, your body adopts a \"fight or flight\" response. This means that it will provide you with enough\u00a0<\/span><span>sugars<\/span><span>\u00a0and fat for energy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span>Quit smoking. <\/span><\/strong><span>Kick the habit. This will allow you to better control blood sugar levels. <\/span><span>If you smoke, you are also more likely to have serious health problems, as well as a greater chance of complications from diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span>Reduce alcohol consumption. <\/span><\/strong><span>If you are taking insulin or oral diabetes medications, such as sulfonylurea derivatives or meglitinides, the use of\u00a0<\/span><span>alcohol<\/span><span>\u00a0can lower your blood sugar to dangerous levels.
