Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body regulates blood sugar levels. There are primarily two types: Type 1 and Type 2. In Type 1, the body doesn't produce insulin, while in Type 2, the body doesn't use insulin effectively.
Key Symptoms: Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, slow-healing sores, frequent infections.
Managing Your Blood Sugar
Effective blood sugar management is crucial for people with diabetes. This involves a combination of lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication.
- Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit sugary drinks and processed foods.
- Exercise: Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and manage weight.
- Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels using a glucose meter.
