Consistent meal patterns help stabilise your blood sugar levels. Aim for three balanced meals and snacks, spread throughout the day.
Low-glycemic foods have a smaller impact on your blood sugar levels. Include foods like whole grains, legumes, nuts, and non-starchy vegetables in your diet.
Fibre-rich foods slow down digestion and help regulate your blood sugar levels. Incorporate sources of soluble fibre such as oats, beans, lentils, and fruits into your meals.
Regularly check your blood sugar levels to understand how your lifestyle changes are affecting your diabetes control. This information can help you make adjustments to your diet and exercise routine as needed.
Adapting to a healthy diet can help in proper weight management. Choose whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy fats.
Shedding excess pounds can improve your insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. Aim for gradual weight loss by trying to lose 1-2 pounds per week through a combination of diet and exercise.
Exercise helps lower your blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity. Include a mix of aerobic exercises and strength training for optimal results.
Chronic stress can raise blood sugar levels and worsen diabetes management. Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or hobbies you enjoy.
Alcohol can interfere with your blood sugar control and contribute to weight gain. If you choose to drink, do so in moderation and always with food.
Smoking worsens insulin resistance and increases the risk of diabetes-related complications. Seek support from your doctor or smoking cessation programs to quit successfully.
