Follow a healthy diet: 

Eating a balanced and nutritious diet can help you manage your blood sugar levels and prevent complications.

Exercise regularly: 

Physical activity can help improve your overall health and blood sugar control. Find an activity you enjoy and make it a regular part of your routine.

Monitor your blood sugar levels: 

Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels can help you identify any trends and make adjustments to your diet and treatment plan as needed.

Take your medications as prescribed: 

Taking your medications as directed by your doctor can help you manage your diabetes and prevent complications.

Manage stress: 

Stress can have a negative impact on your blood sugar levels, so it's important to find ways to manage stress, such as through exercise, meditation, or talking to a trusted friend or family member.

Get regular check-ups: 

Regular visits to your doctor and specialist can help you monitor your overall health and detect any potential problems early on.
