Here are few other tips to keep in mind: 

• Keep a log and pay attention to how foods, habits and stress affect your blood sugar.
• If you notice a repeated pattern, speak to your doctor about changing your treatment plan accordingly.
• Getting back your health takes time. Try to work WITH your body, rather than against it.
• "Remind yourself that your blood glucose level is a way to track how well your diabetes care plan is working. It is not a judgment of you as a person," the ADA encourages.
