Diabetes is a health condition that includes a group of metabolic disorders that, if untreated, results in a high level of glucose in the blood. Therefore, the objective of diabetes management is to correct the carbohydrate metabolism and, thereby, prevent the complications that can result from the disease.

Awareness of factors like food, exercise and medication is the key to regulating the metabolism. Fortunately, today there are advanced monitoring instruments that one can routinely use to give feedback on the efficacy of one’s diabetes management plan.
