Key Pillars of Diabetes Management
- Healthy Eating - consume a diet rich in vegies, fruits and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks and excessive fats.
- Physical Activity - regular exercise, such as 30 minutes of activity each day helps regulate insulin and lower blood sugar.
- Blood glucose monitoring - tracking your blood glucose levels as advised by a North Medical GP.
- Medication - as prescribed by your GP, medications such as insulin can maintain target glucose levels.
- Weight management - Maintaining a healthy weight range can significantly reduce your risk of being diagnosed by diabetes and help improve the health of people with diabetes.
- Regular screening - monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, kidney function, as well as have annual eye and foot examinations.
