These are the notes I took from the first chapter on integrative medicine. It concludes that many people are frustrated with having diabetes because they fear it may change their quality of life. The truth is, quality of life could actually improve as you take charge of your health. It is a daily battle, but one which you can win. These are the ideas I wrote down from the video
Monitor you blood glucose
Be Active,
Have a healthy diet
Keep your weight under control.
take medication appropriately
Exercise will help you keep your blood sugar under control. It takes sugar form your blood stream and gets it into your muscles.
annual physical, take care of feet, don't smoke, avoid alcohol, aspirin daily, monitor blood pressure, monitor cholesterol, eye exam yearly,
Integrated view of health, Four parts:
Physical Health: medical issues
Mental Health:
Emotional Health: stress
Spiritual Health: reason to take care of the other areas
Each part interacts with the other areas.
