Diabetes can contribute to long-term damage or failure of different organs — especially in the eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves and blood vessels, according to the American Diabetes Association.

Therefore, self-care is necessary to limit potential organ damage, and it can reduce the likelihood of hospitalizations and ER visits for patients.

A study published in the Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders concluded that the following seven self-care practices help patients with diabetes avoid hospital visits and serious health complications:

• Healthy eating
• Being physically active
• Monitoring blood sugar levels
• Complying with medications
• Using problem-solving skills
• Developing healthy coping skills
• Practicing risk-reduction behaviors

The above strategies have been positively correlated with blood sugar control, fewer complications and overall improved of quality of life.
