You can take good care of yourself and your diabetes by learning
- what to eat
- how much to eat
- when to eat
Making wise food choices can help you
- feel good every day
- lose weight if you need to
- lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other problems caused by diabetes
Healthful eating, along with physical activity and, if needed, diabetes medicines, helps keep your blood glucose in your target range. The diabetes target range is the level suggested by diabetes experts for good health. You can help prevent health problems by keeping your blood glucose levels on target.

Your social network has a big effect on your weight, according to a study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study was performed on data collected over a 30 year period on over 12,000 people.
Some key findings of the study:
-
Obesity spreads in a social network in a similar way to a contagious disease
-
Your close friends effect your weight more than your family
-
Geographic distance is less important than social distance
-
Friends and family of the same sex effect your weight more than opposite sex friends and family
- Spouses living together effected each other's weight less than close friends of the same sex living far away
- Since close friends effect weight more than close family, this study contradicts the idea that obesity is mainly hereditary
- Not only friends, but friends of friends have a significant effect on your weight
The bad news is that if you have obese friends you are likely to gain
weight yourself.
The good news is that you and your friends can help each other lose weight.
