Managing Diabetes
Diabetes Treatment & Management
Managing diabetes involves healthy lifestyle habits, regular medical care, and — for some people — medication or insulin.
Treatment Approaches
Your healthcare provider can recommend the best plan based on your individual needs.
Healthy Eating
A balanced pattern with appropriate portions and nutritious foods supports blood sugar management.
Regular Physical Activity
Exercise improves overall health and can help many people manage blood sugar effectively.
Medication
Some people need oral medications or insulin therapy. Use exactly as prescribed.
Blood Sugar Monitoring
Monitoring glucose levels guides day-to-day management and clinical decisions.
Healthy Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight may reduce complications and improve blood sugar control.
Regular Medical Checkups
Routine appointments help monitor your condition and screen for complications.
Remember
Never stop or change diabetes medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
