Just the fact that you are reading this means that you are
looking for medical information. We often refer to health literacy as simply
the ability to speak intelligently with your doctor about your condition. We
hope My Diabetes Information is helping you maintain your literacy.
A study reported today from Northwestern University suggests
that people who are health literate tend to live longer with health conditions
than those who do not understand their illness. It seems logical that a person
who understands his or her condition could strategize better. It is also likely
that he or she would recognize symptoms of potentially dangerous situations and
address them.
So, keep reading and learning, and keep listening to your
body. It is likely to pay off by improving your physical health, as well as
making you feel better.
