My Health Counts! Living Well With Diabetes . . .Eating Healthy

My Health Counts! Living Well With Diabetes will give you the tools you need to become a more able, skilled and confident manager of your health. Diabetes is a serious lifelong condition, but there's a lot you can do to protect your health.
Taking good care of yourself can seem overwhelming when you have diabetes—whether you've just learned you have the disease or you've had it for a long time. It can be frightening, overwhelming and debilitating unless you learn to control it so it doesn't control you. Diabetes is one disease you can really control with your actions-- what you eat, physical activity, how you handle stress, whether you take your medication and monitor your blood sugar levels. You can live well with diabetes.
Knowledgeable health care professionals will offer practical, useful information to help viewers better understand diabetes and take positive, realistic steps toward a healthier future. Host Susan Hunt guides the conversation with Dr. Donald Robinson and Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietician, Pamela Beamer. In addition, inspirational stories will feature people who are successfully managing their diabetes—partnering with their doctors, reaching out for information and support; and making lifestyle changes to improve their health and manage this serious chronic condition.
