Dear members and friends,
I hope you all have enjoyed the first two months of 2024. We at Diabetes South Africa wish you a wonderful healthy year ahead.
Diabetes Focus has informative articles in this autumn issue, which I hope you will find helpful and interesting and most of all to assist in the management of your diabetes.
Whilst your HbA1c test results are a good guide on how you are managing your blood glucose levels, the 10 tips to improve time in range is so important. The latest guidelines recommend aiming for blood glucose levels to be within the recommended range 70% of the time.
Other good reads include: The five essential vitamins for managing diabetes; How to build resilience as a person with diabetes; Five ways to sneak in exercise when you’re short on time (Isn’t this the case for most of us?); Sleep and screen time: what you should know (Sleep is more important!); and A closer look at fat-burning heart rate zone.
I’m sure many will identify with Lorraine Makohliso’s story My journey of resilience and transformation, and what an uplifting story Nosisana Mankayi has in Taking it in her stride.
There are many other articles to read which are equally important, which I hope will improve your understanding of diabetes, and assist you on your life’s journey.
Yours in Health
