Its not all that tough to deal with diabetes.
if diagnosed with diabetes:
1. a routine screening is required beginning at the age of 45 years, especially if you are overweight. for those, under the age of 45 who have heart disease or diabetes as risk factors, live a sedentary lifestyle, have had gestational diabetes or have blood pressure, regular screening is necessary.
2. if you are diagnosed with diabetes, you need to check your A1C (blood test) level 2-4 times a year. your A1C should be maintained below 7%. a higher A1C level signals an alteration in your medication and meal plan.
3. check your blood sugar before you begin on any exercise program because physical activity lowers blood sugar. you might need to eat a snack before exercising.
4. routine blood and urine testing, cholesterol levels in the blood, thyroid. liver and kidney function, regular eye and foot examinations are necessary to prevent complications from diabetes. be physically active.
5. it is important to make exercise a part of your daily routine; at lest 30 mins. everyday. aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, swimming, cycling, etc. with moderate intensity for 20 mins. for about 3 sessions in a week is sufficient. a combination of aerobic exercise with stretching exercise works well in controlling blood sugar levels.
