While there is no cure for diabetes, it can be managed effectively through lifestyle changes and medical treatments. Here are some key strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. Avoid sugary and processed foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. This helps improve insulin sensitivity and control blood sugar levels.
  • Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight can significantly improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of complications.
  • Medication: Take prescribed medications or insulin as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Regular Monitoring: Keep track of your blood sugar levels and adjust your management plan as needed.

For personalized advice, consult with a healthcare professional.
