Managing diabetes involves a balanced diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices.
Eat every 2.5–3 hours to maintain blood glucose. Include low-GI foods like whole wheat and avoid refined carbs.
Regularly check blood sugar at home. An HbA1C test, every 3–6 months, shows long-term glucose control.
Take medications on schedule for better diabetes control.
Avoid high-fat foods to manage cholesterol. Diabetic dyslipidemia raises heart disease and stroke risks.
Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet to prevent kidney complications.
Exercise regularly to manage weight. Start with short walks, stretching, yoga, or gardening.
Gum health affects blood glucose. Brush and floss daily, and visit the dentist twice a year.
