Generally speaking, once you have diabetes, you need to learn relevant knowledge about the condition so that you can better manage and live with diabetes in the long term.
Doctors: You can share your questions with your doctor. Usually, when communicating with your doctor, they will inform you about your condition, precautions for taking medication, as well as dietary and other restrictions and guidelines. If possible, staying in touch with your doctor is the best way to obtain professional advice.
Dietitians: A dietitian will help you develop a reasonable and personalized meal plan. They can give you good advice on what you can eat, how much you can eat, what you should avoid, what you should eat more of, how to balance your diet, and how to adjust your current diet and nutrition. It is recommended that after listening to your doctor, you ask a dietitian to create a plan for you or address your dietary concerns.
Fitness trainers: With the support of a fitness trainer, you can receive highly professional exercise guidance.
In addition, some countries now have specialized diabetes educators, who usually have knowledge in nursing, medicine, nutrition, exercise and other fields. Having a dedicated educator can provide you with more comprehensive support.
Of course, there are many other ways to gain knowledge. Reading professional magazines and books about diabetes is also a good choice. After reading, you can exchange ideas with fellow people with diabetes. If you read books, it is recommended that you read more than two and compare them. If you have doubts about any information, write them down and consult professionals such as your doctor or a diabetes educator.
Information obtained from the Internet can also be used for reference, but it is better to browse online content after reading professional magazines or books.
What I want to express is:put professional personnel first, professional magazines or books second, and the Internet third, as a reference only.
