Healthy Eating

1. Set a schedule for regular meal timing & healthy high fibre snacks
2. Reduce meal portions to smaller amounts
3. Eat more high fibre foods (Fruits, Green Vegetables, Whole Grains)
4. Modest serving of low-fat meat & fish
5. Use healthy cooking oils: Canola Sunflower Oil / Olive Oil

Regular Exercise

1. Exercise will help in regulating your blood sugar levels. It is also important for maintaining a healthy weight. Besides this it is also important to limit inactivity, such as sitting at the desk / computer for long periods of time. Instead take a few minutes to stand, walk around or do some light activity every 30 minutes can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Oral Diabetes Medication / Insulin Therapy

1. Medication will usually be prescribed when you cannot maintain your target blood sugar level with diet and exercise. At this point, medication will be used to help lower insulin levels or insulin therapy.

Regular Blood Sugar Monitoring

1. Monitoring is usually done with a small, at-home device called a blood glucose meter. This device will help measure the amount of sugar in a drop of your blood. It is important to check your blood sugar level on a regular basis to ensure you remain within the target range. For example, checking once a day before and after exercise.
