DIABETES AWARENESS SERIES.
Part 6: Prevention & Control Tips
While not all diabetes can be prevented, Type 2 diabetes can often be delayed or controlled with lifestyle changes:
• Eat a balanced diet : include vegetables, fiber, lean proteins, and whole grains in your diet.
• Reduce sugar and refined carbs : limit sugary drinks, sweets, and processed foods
• Stay active : at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days
• Maintain a healthy weight : even small weight loss improves insulin sensitivity
• Go for regular screenings : early detection prevents complications
• Take medications as prescribed : never skip treatment if diagnosed
Consistency is more important than perfection.
