Think about what you can accomplish in a year:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider one or more goals from the ABCDES of diabetes<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    Aim for an A1c of 7% or less (or a personalized target as discussed with your diabetes team) to reduce your overall risk of diabetes-related complications<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Blood pressure of less than 130\/80 mmHg<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Cholesterol (LDL \u2013 lousy<\/em> cholesterol) of less than 2 mmol\/L<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Drugs \u2013 taking medication as prescribed, and regularly<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Exercise and healthy eating: discuss with your diabetes educator how to set realistic goals<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Smoking cessation or decreasing the number of cigarettes per day<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Consider self-care to help reduce stress and improve sleep. Did you know that stress and poor sleep can affect your blood sugar too?<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Think about what you can accomplish in a day:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Monitoring your blood sugar: discuss with your diabetes team how often you should be checking your blood sugar<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Taking your medications as prescribed, including all diabetes medications and others for your health<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Inspect your feet daily and watch out for any cuts, sores and small injuries.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Choose lower glycemic food choices. Examples include: 100% whole grain bread instead of white or whole wheat bread, rolled oats instead of instant oatmeal, berries instead of cherries<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Move more: aim to increase your activity by 10 minutes a day. It is recommended to be physically active for 150 minutes per week in bouts of 10 minutes or more. Change is not easy. When setting a goal, you want to ensure that you are setting yourself up for success. The goal should be specific to help you meet what you are out to achieve!<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”3.29.3″ custom_padding=”||0px|||”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.0.11″ border_color_all=”rgba(0,0,0,0)”][et_pb_accordion_item open=”on” _builder_version=”4.0.11″]<\/p>\n

      These are called SMART goals:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      S<\/strong>pecific: ask who, what, where, when, which and why – to be as specific as possible<\/h3>\n

      M<\/strong>easurable: make sure that the progress or results can be measured<\/h3>\n

      A<\/strong>chievable: your goals should be challenging but possible to accomplish<\/h3>\n

      R<\/strong>ealistic: the goal should make sense to you and engaging as well!<\/h3>\n

      T<\/strong>imely: set a deadline or a timeframe<\/h3>\n

      \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      SMART goal ideas and examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      1. I will monitor my blood sugar 3 times a day, before every meal, Monday to Sunday.<\/h3>\n

      2. I will walk for 20 minutes, 4 times a week, after work on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.<\/h3>\n

      3. I will fill half my plate with vegetables with every supper from Monday to Friday.<\/h3>\n

      January is often a time to think about change, however goals can be set any time of the year. Change does not always mean you need to stop something \u2013 you can also choose to start something, for example, choosing to drink more water or starting a self-care routine to help manage your stress. Reach out to your diabetes educator to help you set goals to help improve your health. One small change can make a big difference!<\/h3>\n
