Type 2 Diabetes Tools

Managing type 2 diabetes can be a challenge. Taking control of your blood sugar levels through exercise, diet and medication is important in trying to avoid long-term complications from the disease. Here are a few tools to help you take control and reach your goal.

Menu Planner

One part of managing your blood sugar level is carefully planning and monitoring what you eat. You can do this by creating a meal plan. A meal plan will help you:

• Get your blood sugar levels in the target range
• Lower the amount of fat in your diet
• Lower your blood pressure
• Achieve and maintain a healthy weight
• Feel better and stay in shape

To help you make healthy food choices, we've developed a meal planner to serve as a starting point. Open and print your Menu Planner now.

Blood Sugar Diary

Knowing your blood sugar level after you eat is just as important as knowing your blood sugar level before you eat. That's why it's helpful to test your blood sugar at different times each day — so you and your healthcare provider can more effectively monitor and manage your diabetes.

One great way to stay on top of your blood sugar level is by keeping a diary. You can take pages from this easy-to-use diary with you anywhere you go. Open and print your Blood Sugar Diary now.

Two-Hour Test (PPG) Card

If you have type 2 diabetes, you should test your blood sugar levels two hours after a main meal, just as you normally do in the morning. You can use this card to report your results and bring it to your next doctor's visit. Open and print your Two-Hour Test Card now.
