Hi!!
I am not an authoritative person regarding this condition so I will
lead you to authoritative sources that can help you in your research.
The main source that you must visit, and revisit periodically, is the
American Diabetes Association (ADA) website, you can also contact them
directly, here is their contact info:
American Diabetes Association
ATTN: National Call Center
1701 North Beauregard Street
Alexandria, VA 22311
E-mail: AskADA@diabetes.org

You can also call the American Diabetes Association at 1-800-DIABETES
(1-800-342-2383). Our hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 8:30 AM
- 8 PM Eastern Standard Time.
This site is plenty of information that you can reach by navigating
the site, below is a list of some pages on your interest:
"Choose to Live - Your Diabetes Survival Guide": (1.6 MB)
I am pretty sure that this 32 pages PDF document answers your
question, so I strongly reccomend you to download and read it.

Diabetes Association":

opinions are always welcome, so here are more sources for further
