11/13/2019 • Posted by Fidelis Care in Health and Wellness

November is National Diabetes Month, a time for everyone across the country to learn more about diabetes.

If you have diabetes, keeping your blood sugar under control is a key to good health. But did you know you need more than just a blood sugar test? Other tests include:

Depending on your results, your primary care provider (PCP) may want you to have more tests.

Taking your diabetes medications as prescribed and having a healthy lifestyle can help you manage your diabetes. During your next wellness visit, remember to ask your PCP for advice about how to exercise and eat healthy.

Do you need to find a PCP near you? Our Find a Doctor online tool can help. Visit fideliscare.org/findadoctor to get started.
