DAY 3 OF 3 You got this! Our goal is to educate and empower you, but we also know that it can be challenging to take matters into your own hands. That's why today, we want to discuss the benefit of building a support team to guide you through this process and help you create a plan for sustainable, long-term change. Building your care team Prediabetes and diabetes require changes to your day-to-day lifestyle to support long-term wellness. If you've been eating a certain way for decades or are not great at keeping up with a fitness routine, you might feel overwhelmed thinking about the journey ahead.

A primary care physician, physical trainer, and dietitian are just a few types of healthcare professionals who can help you manage prediabetes. Some doctors you may want to see about diabetes-related symptoms include an endocrinologist, ophthalmologist, nephrologist, or podiatrist. Whatever or whoever you're looking for, there's plenty of support available to you along the way.
