The guidelines for healthy eating and drinking and being active apply to everyone, but are especially important if you have diabetes. If you have Type 2 diabetes, you may be able to manage your condition effectively with a healthy diabetes diet and physical activity. If you take insulin or tablets for your diabetes, you can also influence your blood glucose level.
There are compelling health reasons for taking steps to prevent weight gain and obesity when you have diabetes. If you are overweight, losing weight can make a big difference to how well your blood glucose level is controlled.
Becoming more active can also help you to lose weight. In addition, regular physical activity has benefits for your overall health and wellbeing, as well as your diabetes. And by being aware of the impact that physical activity has on your blood glucose level, you will be able to adjust your diabetes treatment if necessary
By keeping your blood glucose level in the recommended range you will feel well and greatly reduce your risk of developing long-term complications. Following a type 2 diabetes diet will help you manage these levels much more successfully.
Frequent blood glucose monitoring and responding to test results accurately will help you to manage your diabetes well.
If you take tablets for diabetes, it is useful to know how these work and in what combinations they may be prescribed. If you take insulin to control your blood glucose, managing your regimen and learning to adjust your insulin doses when necessary puts you in control of your diabetes.
Even with close attention, instances of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) and high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) are inevitable from time to time. By identifying the causes, however, you can help to prevent them, and by recognizing the symptoms, you can treat them - either yourself or with help.
