Checking your glucose

Diet and exercise

At first there are the warning signs: you're extremely thirsty, or you've suddenly lost a lot of weight. You feel constantly tired too. You've noticed that cuts and bruises take a long time to heal, and you're bothered by the tingling sensation in your hands and feet.

When your doctor tells you that these symptoms are due to diabetes, a disease that afflicts 15.7 million Americans, you may feel overwhelmed and frightened. But it's possible to control this chronic disease if you maintain a close watch on your body and take an active part in your healthcare management.

With PHDtoGo's easy-to-use forms, you can monitor your glucose levels, watch your diet, track your medications, and see your progress on your regular exercise program.

Checking your glucose

Your doctor will want you to take precautions to help your glucose levels remain within an acceptable range. After you've tested your glucose levels at home, you can enter the reading on your special PHDtoGo glucose form. This important daily diary can help your doctor adjust your insulin, should the need arise.

PHDtoGo's glucose forms can also be used if you're pregnant, when you may risk developing diabetes of pregnancy.

Tracking your medications

With PHDtoGo, you can track your medications, especially if you're also taking prescription drugs for other conditions. Using this information, your doctor may be able to minimize harmful drug interactions, as well as monitor your dosages.

Diet and exercise

You may be able to help control your diabetes by simply adjusting your diet. PHDtoGo's weight-control forms let you track any sudden losses or gains, and you can also monitor your calorie, fat, carbohydrate and protein intake.

Another way to help manage your disease is to exercise regularly. Charting your progress using PHDtoGo's exercise forms may increase your sense of control over your health. And if you're a senior, you may even be able to reduce the chance of developing diabetes -- which has a tendency to occur in people older than 55 -- by working toward your ideal weight and staying physically active.

If you're a diabetic, you'll also need to take special care of your eyes and feet. With PHDtoGo's calendar-oriented application, you can mark your appointments and note any special precautions and instructions from your healthcare providers.


_{PHDtoGo will be available for general release in the near future.
