Top tips to manage diabetes
Diabetes is never mild, but it can be managed:
- Be active. Being physically active improves insulin sensitivity.
- Blood sugar. Aim to keep blood glucose levels at your recommended targets. This can protect your eyes, heart, kidneys and feet.
- Cholesterol. If higher than recommended, cholesterol-lowering treatments (like statins) can help protect the heart.
- Blood pressure. Regular blood pressure checks are important. Keeping them at a recommended target level can help protect the heart and kidneys.
