How To Deal With Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body can’t produce enough insulin to process sugar into your bloodstream. Manage and prevent it with these steps.
You Will Need
* A blood sugar monitor
* A bathroom scale
* An exercise program
* A high-fiber diet with whole grains
WARNING: Consult your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms connected to type 2 diabetes— increased thirst and frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, fatigue, slow-healing sores or frequent infections.
Step 1: Create a meal plan
Figure out a meal plan with your doctor or registered dietitian. Have your goal include a healthy blood sugar level, too.
Step 2: Check your blood sugar levels daily
Purchase a blood sugar monitor and check your blood sugar levels daily. Try to figure out what foods and dietary changes can regulate your blood sugar.
Step 3: Start exercising
Start exercising. Run, walk, swim, or pick any other type of exercise. The more active you are, the lower your blood sugar levels will be.
Step 4: Commit to losing weight
Commit to losing weight. A healthy number on the scale will give you more control over your blood sugar.
Step 5: Avoid glycemic foods
Avoid high-glycemic foods like sugars, starches, and alcohol — they spike your blood sugar levels.
Step 6: Consume more roughage
Consume more roughage from fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts — they take longer to digest.
Step 7: Stay relaxed
Stress can wreak havoc on your insulin levels, so try breathing methods, or various forms of stress-relief and relaxation techniques when you feel anxious.
TIP: For women, prepare for your menstrual cycles. Particularly in the week before a period, your blood sugar level can go haywire.
