Taking control of diabetes can help you feel better and stay healthy. Keeping your blood sugar (also called blood glucose) levels in the normal range reduces your chances of having eye, kidney, and nerve problems. To help you learn how to control your diabetes better, Medicare now covers two new services for people with diabetes:

• Diabetes self-management training
  
• Medical nutrition therapy services

This booklet will help you learn more about these two new services and where to go for more information.

Remember: The power to control diabetes is in your hands!
