Type 2 diabetes can be managed and even reversed with the right lifestyle changes and medical interventions. 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 foods and refined carbs.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, such as walking or cycling.
  • Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.
  • Medication: Follow your doctor’s advice on medications, including insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.
  • Regular Monitoring: Keep track of your blood sugar levels and A1C to ensure they are within target ranges.
  • Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation or yoga, as stress can affect blood sugar levels.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
