I thought that a thread that contained newbie tips would be fun and then the tips would be all together. I am sure we all have something to share whether it be meds, testing, diet, exercise, ect. So I will start by reminding all new diabetics and all diabetics to do the following every year:
Preventive Care
A1C-Should be done every 3-6 months
Comprehensive Foot Exam-1 time per year, more if you have foot issues
Blood Pressure Check-every doctor visit
Eye Exam (dilated)-every year
Microalbumin (protein in urine)-every year
Fasting Lipid Profile-every year, more if your levels are elevated and you use a statin drug
Flu Shot-every year
