Blood Sugar Basics

7 Steps to Life without Type 2 Diabetes!

About Blood Sugar Basics

BloodSugarBasics.com was originally developed by Merck in collaboration with the American College of Endocrinology (ACE) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). It’s goal was to provide useful information about blood sugar for people living with type 2 diabetes, including helpful tips on how to manage blood sugar levels.

Today, the website has a new owner and a new mission. Now funded and maintained by MedicareWire, the new mission is to help people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes reverse their condition and return to normal health.

While managing blood sugar levels helps reduce the health risk of serious complication from the disease, it’s a treatment, not a cure. Our goal going forward is to offer a comprehensive lifestyle optimization plan that helps type 2 diabetics completely reverse their disease.

For many type 2 diabetics, the disease is reversible. All you need is the proper education, desire and willpower to do it while continuing the treatment program created by your healthcare team.

If you’re a type 2 diabetic, we want to help you learn more about the role blood sugar plays and how you can return to normal health through a program of diet, exercise, following your doctor’s treatment plan, and tracking your progress to the finish line. Start here.

Additional Information

The American College of Endocrinology (ACE) is the educational and scientific arm of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and is dedicated to promoting the art and science of clinical endocrinology for the improvement of patient care and public health.

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) is a professional medical organization with more than 6,000 members in the United States and 84 other countries. Founded in 1991, AACE is dedicated to the optimal care of patients with endocrine problems. AACE initiatives inform the public about endocrine disorders. AACE also conducts continuing education programs for clinical endocrinologists, physicians whose advanced, specialized training enables them to be experts in the care of endocrine diseases.

In 2013, AACE/ACE published the Comprehensive Type 2 Diabetes Management Algorithm. Updated annually, the algorithm outlines a comprehensive management program for people with type 2 diabetes, which emphasizes lifestyle optimization, weight-loss and individualized A1C targets. Our goal is to educate people about the algorithm and how to work with their healthcare team to apply it to their personal situation.
