About MIY
What is MiY
MiY Diabetes is a serious self-managing approach to helping people who have been recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes (high levels of glucose or sugar in the blood). Effectively managing or reversing this path to full Type II Diabetes requires the individual to establish and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Substantial lifestyle improvements require a significant effort on the part of the individual, often called self-management. Medications alone are not sufficient to halt progression of the disease. For almost everyone faced with the prospect of Type II Diabetes, self-managing daily lifestyle events such as exercise and diet are needed. MiY Diabetes provides a holistic approach with the daily assistance needed to establish a healthier lifestyle and avoid the ravages of diabetes.
Why MiY Diabetes
- Exercise (Increasing your level of physical activity)
- Diet (Keeping track of how many calories you consume)
- Sleep (Getting ample, quality sleep each day)
- Medications (Adhering to your prescribed medications)
- Harmful Substances (Avoiding all uses of harmful substances)
- Attitude (Maintaining a positive attitude toward controlling your daily activities)
All six aspects are very important and failure of any one of them can accelerate the harmful effects of diabetes. The complexities of diabetes place many requirements on the individual, all focused on better self control.
Advantages of MiY Diabetes
The first and foremost advantage is to the primary user (P-user) with pre-diabetes, providing daily assistance and encouragement in sustaining a healthier lifestyle.
Since self-managing a healthier lifestyle is an ongoing process, it is very important for the P-user to establish and maintain a strong support organization. The ideal setup is to have three or more Helpers; a family member, a friend and a member of P-user’s medical team. These Helpers become the P-user’s private social group. This group has ongoing access to the P-User’ trends. These trends show the P-User’s progress allowing the Helpers to provide on-going encouragement and support to the P-User. The Helpers will periodically receive messages expressing both positive events and concerns based on the trends. The team can also communicate with each other as well as the P-User.
Having a member of the P-user’s medical team participate is very important. This allows the medical team, usually a nurse and/or physician, to obtain feedback on the condition of their patient in-between visits and be more likely to take action if the trends indicate that a change is necessary; both physically or mentally. Having this capability may allow the medical staff to monitor the patient with fewer medical visits and, thus, lower medical costs.
There are also many technical advantages to MiY Diabetes. The MiY knowledge system consists of a flexible rules processor that can adapt the system to the individual and, being experience based, will continue to grow over time.
Another major advantage of MiY Diabetes is its independence from any specific activity or treatment. This allows the P-user to choose between exercise routines, diets, and other techniques that help address various aspects of achieving a healthier lifestyle.
