How do I know if I’m being offered the best treatment option(s) for my condition?
• Talk to your doctor about the various treatment options that are available to you – and their associated risks and benefits. • Ask your doctor if there are evidenced-based guidelines for treating your particular condition and if the recommended treatment is in keeping with those guidelines. • Learn as much as you can about your condition – and the various treatment options – through qualified sources, including books, Internet sites and support groups sponsored by national organizations such as the American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association and others.
