The hemoglobin A1C test reflects your average blood sugar level over the past three months.

People with diabetes who also have high blood pressure are at  especially high risk for heart disease and stroke.

It stands for A1C testing, blood pressure control, and cholesterol management, the first steps in beating back diabetes.

With the right diet and exercise, you can control your blood sugar levels and avoid serious diabetes complications.

The food you eat and how your body breaks it down drives the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood stream.

Inactivity and excess body fat lead to insulin resistance, which causes elevated blood sugar.

Fat itself has chemicals that can affect insulin and therefore blood sugar.

Management of diabetes includes more than blood sugar control, blood pressure and cholesterol levels are also important.

 

Spice things up without adding salt to your food.

Food is more than just a source of calories.
