When your doctor says, "Your diabetes is under control," it means your blood sugar levels are within the target range. This is a significant milestone in managing diabetes. Your doctor will monitor your blood sugar levels through regular tests, such as the A1C test, which shows your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. There are two main indicators: Fasting blood sugar level. This is the level of sugar in your blood after you haven't eaten for at least 8 hours. It should be within the target range set by your doctor. Postprandial blood sugar level. This is the level of sugar in your blood after eating. It should also be within the target range. Keeping your diabetes under control involves regular monitoring, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medication. If your diabetes worsens, you may notice symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. It's important to contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms. Your doctor may adjust your treatment plan, which could include changes in your diet, exercise routine, or medication. In some cases, insulin therapy may be necessary. Regular check-ups with your doctor are crucial to managing diabetes effectively. During these visits, your doctor will review your blood sugar levels, discuss any symptoms you may have, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. By staying proactive and working closely with your healthcare team, you can manage your diabetes and reduce the risk of complications.
