Glucose levels have a cumulative effect over time, damaging the nerves, organs and blood vessels. Being able to control diabetes will lessen the impact that it has on your body contributing to a longer healthy and balanced life.
The ability to control diabetes comes from being aware. Knowing how much you weigh, how you can lose weight, what you eat and how much activity you do are all crucial components of learning to manage diabetes.
Often we eat more than we realise or more of the bad stuff than we are aware of. If you really want to control your diabetes you need to start putting in place strategies to becoming more aware. These typically include:
• A meal journal where you log all of your meals
• A meal plan that controls the amount of good and bad food which you eat
• Becoming aware about the types of food you can eat
• Understanding portion sizes and making sure you get the right amount of each type of food
• An exercise buddy who are able to help you keep on track with your exercise goals and objectives
• The right kind of workouts to help you slim down on your stomach area
In order to put such steps in place you need to start by educating yourself on what you should be doing and why. This often helps you to stay on track because you aren’t just following a blind idea, you understand why.
Next you should see a dietician who can help you put together a meal plan. Or you could do your own research on meal plans that work to control diabetes.
Finally you should consider getting a personal trainer who can maximize your exercise time and help you reach your objectives sooner. If you don’t want to use a personal trainer then there are a number of fitness magazines and websites that are worth looking into. Ideally you want to do a lot of cardio work in order to help control your diabetes.
It is possible to control type 2 diabetes and lead a normal life. It is even possible to reverse type 2 diabetes by following a few simple steps. The key to any large lifestyle change is awareness.
