Managing Type 2 Diabetes involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring. Here are some key strategies:

  • Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit sugar 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.
  • Medication: Take prescribed medications as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Blood Sugar Monitoring: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to food, exercise, and medication.
  • Regular Check-ups: Visit your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
