Blood pressure
Help keep blood pressure under 140/90 by using a digital blood pressure cuff at home.
A1C testing
A1c is your average blood glucose level. You can monitor your daily changes in blood sugar using a glucometer.
Statin medication
Statin medication may prevent cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes.
Eye exam
Be sure to schedule a routine retinal eye exam with an eye doctor.

It’s more than checking your blood sugar
A total health approach that includes dental, vision, and preventive measures is a smart strategy. A few things to consider:
Give your smile some extra love
High blood sugar can impact your teeth, so preventive measures are crucial. Dental Blue® provides checkups and cleanings every three months.
Cover your eyes
