About Diabetes
Diabetes is a condition that happens when your body can’t process sugar normally. Too much sugar stays in your bloodstream, and this extra sugar can cause serious health problems, like heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
To prevent and manage diabetes:
Eat healthy food.
Stay active.
Stay informed.
Watch your weight.
Take medicine if your provider prescribes it.
Ask your provider about Fresh Start: Programs for Better Health.
Could you have prediabetes? Take the pre-diabetes risk test. You also can take the Spanish version of the test.
