This website and Diabetes Education DVD are designed
to help people with diabetes, or those who may be at risk for diabetes,
learn the facts about this disease and lay the foundation for a healthy
life free from diabetes or from the complications that come from
uncontrolled diabetes.
Diabetes is not yet curable; however, we know that
damage and failed health are not inevitable. You can live a healthy
life despite having diabetes by getting regular checkups with your
physician and by following the 5 M's of diabetic care outlined on this
website and in the Diabetes DVD.
Remember what you do to maintain good health when you
leave the clinic is just as important as anything your doctor can do.
Exciting changes are taking place in the field of diabetes research and
there's no better time to maintain good health so that you're here for
the cure. So Take Control and learn the Diabetes Basics.
Play the video clips on this page and then read through "frequently
asked questions". I know you'll enjoy learning the straight forward
steps that will help you avoid diabetic complications through better
blood sugar control. Send for the complete DVD and learn at home
anytime. It's like taking the doctor home with you.
Dr. David Hite's Diabetes DVD is Amazing!
He explains this complex disease in clear easy to understand terms that
make it easy to understand. I wish I would have had this DVD when I was
first diagnosed. It would have made understanding what I had to do and
how to do it much easier. I think every newly diagnosed diabetic should
have this DVD for their personal self-education and to help educate
those around them.
Dr. Hite is on the cutting edge of current understanding of how to manage our diabetes. I highly recommend this Diabetes DVD.
Note - A very well controlled blood sugar reading of 4.4 mmol//L (79 mg/dl on the U.S. scale)

Dr. Hite's Diabetes DVD was purchased to play to patients in our waiting rooms. We were impressed with his ability to communicate sometimes complex concepts in a caring, positive and sensitive manner.

This DVD
Teaches the 5 Ms of Diabetes Management
Monitor
- You will learn how to check blood sugars and use the numbers to gauge
your progress and know when to make healthy changes in your plan.
Meals
- Learn how to develop a healthy diet and how to manage portion distortion. Find out which foods digest more slowly and help stabilize blood sugars and which foods spike blood sugars and should be eaten with care.
Motion
- Learn how to start a personal exercise program to help burn off excess blood sugars and lower insulin resistance. Learn how motion increases your energy, stamina, strength and balance and helps you lose weight.
Medications
- Proper foods are your best medicine in many cases, but when diet and exercise aren't enough, learn how medications can
help control blood sugars. Learn what they are, what they do, and how and when to take them so
they are most effective and lower the risk of possible side effects.
Motivation
- Living with a chronic condition is difficult. Many people feel
overwhelmed and struggle to take action. Every day you face challenges
that can wear you down. Depression is three times more common in
diabetic patients than in the general population. Learn strategies for
making healthy lifestyle changes and staying motivated to maintain them.
