I will work hard to lower my HbA1c level and I will get an HbA1c test done every three to six months.

I will be physically active by exercising or walking regularly.

I will follow my healthy balanced diet and low fat diet to reduce my blood sugar and cholesterol.

If I have gained weight, I will follow the active advice my doctor or healthcare providers has given me.

I will check my blood sugar as instructed by my doctor or healthcare providers.

I will endeavour to stop smoking.

I will have an eye exam done every year or as indicated by my doctor.

I will remind my doctor to check my bare feet at least once per year.

I will get a flu shot this autumn and a pneumonia vaccine if I have not had one.

I will schedule for an appointment with my doctor or healthcare providers when I am having trouble reaching my goals.
