Diabetes Alert Day on March 24 is a good time to conduct a self-check. If you have diabetes, it's important to review your understanding of the disease and the importance of controlling your ABCs.

The ABCs of diabetes are: A1C, Blood Pressure and Cholesterol. You should discuss each of these with your healthcare provider to be best equipped to control diabetes.
