Bottom line, nothing is as important to diabetes health as managing one's blood sugar. Everything else that diabetics discuss or are required to do is simply aimed at accomplishing this goal: what to eat, how much to exercise, what medications to take, etc. So why is this one thing so hard to do?

First, everyone is different. What works for one person, may not work for you. My body may respond very well to one dose of medication, while you may need more (or less). Additionally, not everyone is starting from the same level playing field. One person may be 300 pounds when they are diagnosed, while another is only 220 pounds.

While it may seem the 300 pound person will have a more difficult time getting his weight down and correspondingly his blood sugar, the opposite may be the case. Depending upon how a person implements a controlled eating and exercise program can have a lot to do with how quickly they can get their blood sugar levels under control. Properly figuring out any given person's medication level can also affect this process.

Second, situations can change. As we get older, our bodies and its requirements can change. What worked when we were 40 may not work when we are 70. Further, our circumstances can change causing a disruption in what normally works for our blood sugar management. Maybe we take a trip or get a different job that disrupts our normal schedule. Maybe we push ourselves as little too hard in a work out. All of these situational changes force diabetics to constantly monitor blood sugar.

Third, too much information can sometimes lead a person with diabetes to feel overwhelmed with choices for their treatment. Every day it seems there is a new study touting this or that as the best solution for controlling blood sugar levels. Some study says drink 6 cups of coffee a day, while another says to make sure you drink lots of green tea. How do you know what to do? No study is ever conclusive, according to the experts.

Good blood sugar management requires a more meaningful and patient approach. People, men especially, like to "solve" problems and be done with them. Unfortunately, good diabetes management is a process, not a one off problem to be solved. Listen to your doctor, and other health care providers, such as diabetes educator.

Figure out what works for you. Get your weight and blood sugar under control, and then decide if certain other solutions are right for you, such as those 6 cups of coffee a day. Your health care providers should be able to help in these decisions. Remember, your health is your responsibility and it is an ongoing affair. Good health is a journey, not a destination.
