Over 21 million Americans have diabetes and because diabetes is with you 24/7, knowing what to do to keep it in control is one of the cornerstones of quality care.

Diabetes control management can be divided into three categories:

1. Diabetes Assessment
   Have your blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and kidney function tested routinely
2. Diabetes Target Attainment
   Reach target goals set by the American Diabetes Association for your blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and kidney function
3. Diabetes Complication Prevention
   Avoid complications from diabetes by smoking cessation and being current on your flu vaccination, pneumococcus vaccination, eye exams, and foot exams
