Key Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Your healthcare provider is your most important partner in managing diabetes. To make the most of your appointments, it helps to go in with specific questions. Here are a few to consider based on what we’ve discussed:
1. “I’ve been tracking my morning blood sugar, and it’s often high. Could the ‘dawn phenomenon’ be affecting me, and should we consider adjusting the timing or dosage of my medication to help manage it?”
2. “I want to improve my breakfast choices to avoid blood sugar spikes. Based on my health profile and medications, what specific types of breakfast foods or meal combinations would you recommend for me?”
3. “I’d like to add more gentle physical activity to my mornings. What types of exercises are safe and most effective for me to help improve my insulin sensitivity?”
4. “Are any of my other medications or health conditions potentially contributing to my high morning blood sugar readings?”
