Lifestyle management
If people with diabetes promise to take good care of their health and manage their condition properly for their whole lives, they can look forward to living happy, active, and independent lives.
Important lifestyle management for people living with diabetes
- Education- education is crucial for people living with diabetes because it helps them understand their condition, learn how to manage their blood sugar levels, make informed lifestyle choices, and recognize the importance of regular check-ups, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and improved quality of life.
- Medication- Type 1 diabetes needs insulin for treatment all the time, while Type 2 diabetes is often managed by exercising and planning meals with the right portion.
- Physical Activity- regular exercise is good for your body because it helps lower the sugar in your blood, helps you lose weight, makes you feel less stressed, and improves your overall fitness.
- Blood Pressure- high blood pressure can cause many health problems like eye disease, stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease, so people with diabetes should keep their blood pressure below 140/90, and they can do this by exercising regularly and eating healthy foods in the right amounts.
- Weight Management- keeping a healthy weight is very important for controlling type 2 diabetes and can help people feel better and avoid health problems.
- Stress Mangement-people with diabetes can manage stress by practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy diet, and seeking support from friends, family, or professionals.
- Nutrition- a healthy diet will help people with diabetes control blood glucose levels and reduce risk of complication.
