Each individual is responsible for their own personal health, and we encourage you to make choices and changes that are healthy for you! Whether it means altering eating habits, exercise routines, or a schedule of doctor appointments, there are always ways to make healthy changes.
Need an easy way to remember wellness tips for preventing diabetes and heart complications? Just think of the ABCs!
Keep track of your ABCs by asking your doctor to test your A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. These are usually tracked during regular well visits anyway! Your heart health and diabetes health will thank you.
