Diabetes is our daily companion nowadays. Nutritionists have almost cut down on sweet consumption to keep the sugar level in our blood stable. Yet, when we wake up in the morning and check our blood, the sugar level tends to rise. Despite all efforts, why can't diabetes be controlled? Nutritionists say that to control diabetes, attention must be paid not only to diet but also to several other aspects of lifestyle.
So let's find out in today's post...
What Changes Need To Be Made To Control Diabetes?
1. Do you spend most of your day sitting or lying down? Doctors say that the lack of physical activity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. So if possible, try to engage in any physical activity for at least 45 minutes daily. It doesn't necessarily have to be going to the gym; you can walk at any time of the day, ride a bicycle, or even do yoga.
2. Returning home from work and cooking dinner every night can be exhausting. Often, people order food online. However, this type of food can contribute to an increase in glucose levels in the blood. It's better to include foods with higher natural sugar content rather than foods containing flour, white sugar, dried fruits, and gluten.
3. Do you have a habit of lying down immediately after eating dinner? This habit can be harmful for diabetes at any time. Doctors say that a natural and easy way to control sugar in the blood is to avoid eating quickly before bed. Therefore, nutritionists advise having dinner by 8 o'clock in the evening.
4. For those whose blood sugar tends to be slightly higher, it is strictly forbidden to lie down immediately after eating rice. Doctors say that this habit can silently increase sugar levels in the blood. Even if you sleep at night, it's good to have dinner at least half an hour before bedtime.
5. For those who have had diabetes for a long time, it is necessary to take insulin injections or medication at least half an hour before heavy meals. Forgetting to take medication for a day or stopping medication can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels.
