Diabetes is a chronic condition with no cure but can be contained with constant
monitoring and management. If you educate yourself about the different aspects of
diabetes management, it can be managed effectively and efficiently. Healthy living
practices when incorporated in day to day life can become a habit over a period
of time.
The important thing to keep in mind to keep your sugar levels in the healthy range
are achieving weight loss by maintaining a balance between what you eat and exercise.
This will go a long way in preventing or delaying complications. Many people with
diabetes live long and healthy lives.
Getting over-burdened by all that you have learnt and understood about diabetes
can cause more harm than gain. Set goals for yourself that you can achieve without
disappointing yourself. You can start by setting realistic short-term and long-term
goals. For example, your short term goal can be losing 1 kg weight in two weeks
and your long term goal can be losing 10 kgs in the next 6 months.
