The management plan for a person with diabetes includes:
- Diabetes education: structured education and self-management (at diagnosis and regularly reviewed and reinforced) to promote awareness.
- Diet and lifestyle: healthy diet, weight loss if the person is overweight, smoking cessation, regular physical exercise.
- Maximising glucose control while minimising adverse effects of treatment, such as hypoglycaemia.
- Reduction of other risk factors for complications of diabetes, including the early detection and management of hypertension, drug treatment to modify lipid levels and consideration of antiplatelet therapy with aspirin.
- Monitoring and early intervention for complications of diabetes,
including cardiovascular disease, feet problems, eye problems, kidney
problems and neuropathy.
