Maladi sik se twòp sik ki rete nan san w. Tansyon se san an k ap peze twò fò sou venn ou yo. De maladi sa yo ka ap fè dega nan kò w pandan ane, san ou pa santi yo.
Diabetes means too much sugar stays in your blood. High blood pressure means your blood pushes too hard against your arteries. Both can damage your body for years without you feeling anything.

Mande si gen èd transpò pou w rive nan randevou w.
Mande doktè a si gen yon medikaman jenerik : li koute mwens chè.
Ask to speak with a social worker. Many clinics have a sliding fee scale based on your income.
Ask whether transportation assistance is available for your appointments.
Ask your doctor for a generic medication — it costs less.

Pran medikaman w chak jou — kenbe yon kanèTake your medicine every day — keep a notebook
Pa tann pou w santi tèt fè mal oswa tèt vire. Lè sentòm yo parèt, dega a ka deja kòmanse.
Achte yon ti kanè : ekri tansyon w, sik ou, ak lè w pran medikaman.
Don't wait for a headache or dizziness. By the time symptoms appear, damage may already have started.
Buy a small notebook: write down your blood pressure, your blood sugar, and when you take your medicine.
Pote kanè a bay doktè w nan chak vizit. Ansanm, n ap jwenn yon plan tretman ki fèt espesyalman pou ou.Bring the notebook to every visit. Together, you and your doctor will build a plan made for you.
