With November being National Diabetes Month, it’s the perfect time to talk about things that every person with diabetes should do at least once a year. Some of these recommendations should be done more frequently if there are problems or changes in your health, but even when you are doing great there are 4 things which are recommended for every diabetic. They are: 1) dilated eye exam 2) foot exam by a healthcare professional 3) a kidney test called a microalbumin level and 4) full bloodwork, including your A1c.
