Diabetes Management

The first step is healthy eating. Patients should eat balanced meals with vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. Sugary foods and drinks should be limited. Eating at the same time every day helps control blood sugar.Regular physical activity is very important. Walking, cycling, or light exercise for 30 minutes a day helps the body use insulin better and lowers blood sugar levels. Exercise also helps control weight and improves heart health.

Medication and insulin must be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. Skipping medicine can cause serious problems. Patients should never change their dose without medical advice.Blood sugar monitoring helps patients understand how food, exercise, and medicine affect their body. Regular checking allows early action if levels are too high or too low.

Finally, regular doctor visits are necessary. Doctors check blood sugar, blood pressure, eyes, kidneys, and feet. Proper diabetes management reduces the risk of heart disease, nerve damage.
