Keeping glucose levels under control can help people with diabetes feel better and also lower the risk of blindness, kidney disease, and nerve damage. Very high or very low blood sugar can have serious consequences. Although blood glucose meters are fairly simple to operate, many things can go wrong if the user isn’t careful. Here are some tips that can help people with diabetes get accurate results from their glucose meters. • Be prepared before you do the test. Carefully read all instructions for your meter and test strips. Calibrate the meter or test it to be sure it’s calibrated before you use it. • Be sure that you’re using test strips that are specified to work with your meter. Even if an incorrect test strip fits in your meter, it could give you the wrong results.

The increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes is also influenced by socio-economic, environmental, political, social, educational, and biological factors. This campaign was produced for a project for York University. Having a holistic or structural perspective on the multitude of factors that contribute to health and disease is what I strive to advocate. We cannot simply change a few factors such as diet and exercise and expect to have enormous health benefits (although it will help significantly). One must also consider their socio-economic status within society, as well as the other factors discussed in this video. This type 2 diabetes campaign is also targeted towards the young adult population because it is believed that this is the age group that has the most potential for change. By changing our individual behaviours, we can impact an entire population. By raising awareness about type 2 diabetes and the factors that increase type 2 diabetes prevalence, we are taking the first …
