It’s important to have regular checkups with your diabetes care team. Talk with your team about what schedule is best for you. In this book, you’ll find a suggested schedule for health tests. You can tear it out and save it as a handy reminder of which tests you need to have and when. Keep it in your wallet or post it on your refrigerator. Check off each test after you have it.
For help keeping track of your tests and results, ask your diabetes care team for the Novo Nordisk booklet Your Guide to Better Office Visits.
“I have been a diabetes educator for almost 20 years, and it has been a delight helping people learn about what they can do. Our practice doesn’t tell people what they cannot do, as many people might think. We are in the business of helping people learn what they can do. And that is pretty much anything they want to do, when they know how.”
