<strong>SOADI</strong> FRONTLINE TRAINING 12 Medication Healthy food and exercise may not be enough to keep blood glucose levels under control. When this happens, your doctor may recommend you start on medication. There are four different types of pills you could be prescribed: 1. Glyburide—makes the pancreas work harder to create more insulin. 2. Metformin—helps the body use glucose better. 3. Gluconorm—stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin when needed. 4. Avandia—works to reduce insulin resistance, helping the body to use insulin better. Figure 10 Medication may be necessary for effective diabetes management. Keys to Health The keys to health are consistent for all people living with diabetes: • Exercise regularly. • Maintain a healthy weight. • Maintain good control of blood sugars. • Take medications/insulin as prescribed by your doctor. • Eat a balanced diet. • Get regular check-ups with your health-care team. • Be happy, stress free, and take care of your spirit. • Be smoke-free. • Find your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical balance. Setting Goals Goal-setting can help individuals make positive changes. To make our goals less overwhelming, we must take small steps that we lay out in an action plan. Figure 11 Effective diabetes management requires finding balance in all aspects of one’s life. SMART Goals Smart goals are: • Specific—what is it that we want to do? • Measurable—how will we know when we’ve achieved it? • Achievable—how are we going to do this? • Realistic—is this something that we can realistically achieve? • Time-specific—how long will we allow ourselves to accomplish this?
<strong>SOADI</strong> FRONTLINE TRAINING 13 When combined with defined tactics, SMART goals provide a realistic benchmark and plan for individuals making change. Making this plan solidifies the goals and makes the individual setting the goal accountable for the outcome. Example: Set one physical-activity goal and indicate three simple tactics that will be used to accomplish each goal. GOAL To be able to bend down and touch toes within two weeks by performing a series of stretches every day, both at home and in the workplace. TACTICS Stretch each morning after waking up, before doing anything else. Stretch at work on breaks and after lunch-hour workouts. Stretch in the evening, even if I’m watching a TV program. SPECIFIC To increase flexibility enough to reach my toes when I bend down, while keeping my legs straight. Figure 12 The best way to ensure that you achieve your goals is to make sure they are achievable. MEASUREABLE Monitor distance reached each time, and aim to reach further the next time. ACHIEVABLE Ask a friend to help me with new stretching techniques. REALISTIC Ensure that I make progress each and every time I stretch. TIME-SPECIFIC I will be able to achieve my goal in two weeks.
