If you have non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM), you should first
attempt to control it with diet and exercise. Your doctor will put you
on a diet and ask you to increase your activity level to see if your
respond with improved blood glucose levels. If,
after a month or so of the new eating and exercise regime, your blood
sugar levels don't show satisfactory signs of improvement, the doctor
may decide to prescribe tablets to control your diabetes. This doesn't
mean you can give the diet and exercise away - they remain a vital,
lifelong part of your treatment. |
