If you’re finding that your blood sugars are out of those guidelines that your doctor has set for you, keeping him or her informed of that is very important. On occasion, you only see your doctor every three months or every six months for management and recommendations for your blood sugars; however, if you’re monitoring at home and seeing a trend where your blood sugars are rising, it would be a good thing to contact your physician. You may need a medication adjustment. However, those activities or habits that may have slowly changed into old bad habits, you can re-address, so whether you should look at your portion sizes at the time of your meals, whether seasonally because the weather has changed you’re not exercising as much, so keeping in mind how you can control your diabetes, how you move your body, and how you eat is all in your control, and re-addressing the good habits you should have would be your first measure and then the next measure, of course, being in good communication with your physician.
