Maintaining a Health Lifestyle

Learning to manage your diabetes may be one of the biggest challenges you and your family face in life. Diabetes is a complex, serious disease. Learning must go hand in hand with sometimes difficult lifestyle changes. Your Mercy Diabetes Team can help you understand what we call The Balancing Act with Four Forces.

Please roll your mouse over the graphic beneath to see an illustration of the Balancing Act.

Your job is to learn how to balance these four forces to keep your glucose in the healthy range.

We will show you how to use the tools for control.
