When I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes<\/a>, I was only 28 years old. I always read about the risks of getting diabetes because of my family history. Not to say that my lifestyle did not contribute to it, but I didn\u2019t really see it coming. <\/span><\/p>\n

I was given medication, a restrictive diet plan, and recommendations to change my lifestyle, along with motivational insight. I will be able to stop my medication soon because I am young. <\/span><\/p>\n

But like everyone else, I got on to the internet to learn more about Type 2 diabetes, and it is safe to say that I was really scared reading about the complications and statements like diabetes affects every organ in your body. <\/span><\/p>\n

But in none of the places that I looked, was I given a plan or even the hope that I would be able to reduce my medicines or even stop them while enjoying all the things I love in life.<\/span><\/p>\n

But at Fitterfly, we want to make sure that you have the right information about what you can do as a person newly diagnosed with diabetes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the things that you need to keep in mind:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Consult with a doctor<\/b><\/h2>\n

Find a doctor, preferably a diabetologist or an endocrinologist who will not only help you with medical management based on your blood sugar levels and HbA1c levels<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can also ask them questions about your condition. The better your understanding of your health condition, the more you will be equipped to manage your health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Accept your diagnosis<\/b><\/h2>\n

I know it is not easy, but accepting your diagnosis will help you recognize that you need to make certain changes in your lifestyle. Once you accept your diagnosis, you will be able to focus on managing your condition and learning more about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Early action is the best plan<\/b><\/h2>\n

Most of the time, when people get diagnosed with metabolic health conditions that don\u2019t have evident symptoms, it can be difficult to take action. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, people who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes only seek help when they start having complications. To make sure that you reduce your risk of complications, it is best to start medical and lifestyle management early.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
