To wrap up American Diabetes Month, I have collected 10 tips to promote good diabetes management.  

1. Control your weight if you are overweight. Weight reduction for those with Type 2 diabetes often reduces blood sugar values significantly.

2. Participate in regular physical activity. Regular physical activity improves fitness and quality of life and decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease. In Type 2 diabetes, regular physical activity helps improve blood glucose control and may decrease the need for oral diabetes medications or insulin.
