If your Type 2 Diabetes is poorly controlled, it’s essential to focus on your medication and lifestyle to protect your health. Medications are crucial in managing blood sugar levels and preventing complications, so staying on track is key.
Key Steps:
- Take Medications as Prescribed:
- It’s important to take your diabetes medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Medications help keep blood sugar stable and reduce the risk of complications like heart problems or nerve damage.
- Balanced Diet:
- Follow a low-sugar, low-carb diet to support your medication in managing blood sugar.
- Focus on vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains.
- Avoid sugary snacks, drinks, and highly processed foods.
- Regular Exercise:
- Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days (e.g., walking, swimming).
- Exercise works hand-in-hand with medication to improve how your body handles insulin.
- Stay Consistent with Care:
- Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to assess your progress.
- If needed, your doctor may adjust your medication to better control your diabetes.
By focusing on your medication and maintaining healthy habits, you can gain better control over your diabetes and reduce the risk of future health issues.
