There’s incredible hope for diabetics. If you spend a mere day educating them, they’ll improve — and greatly — by maintaining better blood sugar control.
In short, if you have the disease, you can learn to be effective in "Taking Control of Your Diabetes."
This positive message was announced at the recent 65th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
"Behavioral change is possible, incrementally… and [it] can have profound effects on the health and quality of life of diabetics," Mary Johnson, director of clinical research at the International Diabetes Center in Minneapolis, told United Press International.
Johnson led a team of researchers, who enrolled 345 adults with type 2 diatetes in one-day events for diabetics, "Taking Control of Your Diabetes," held annually across the U.S.
During that one day, investigators took blood-glucose measures and asked participants a number of questions about what keeps them from achieving their glucose-level goals.
The good news? Six months after the one-day program, 45 percent of those who completed the program achieved blood-glucose levels of less than 7 percent (which is the ADA recommended goal.
Future one-day "Taking Control of Your Diabetes" events are scheduled in Santa Clara, Calif. (Sept. 24, 2005), San Diego, Calif. (Oct. 29, 2005), and San Antonio, Texas (Nov. 19, 2005). For further info, call Taking Control of Your Diabetes at 1-800-99-TCOYD (toll free number).
