Several metabolism variances cause diabetes in the human body. Level of sugar increases in the blood, which is called glucose. Consequently, the pancreas stops producing insulin-producing cells. The main motto of diabetes management is maintained in the balance for reinstating carbohydrate/insulin cells. Various medical treatments are used to improve the status of insulin in the body, like giving insulin injections, following special diet chart, exercises, and medications.

The following healthy practice can help out to diabetes patients stay fit.

Check medical history of your family

Diabetes is a genetic disease. If your parents and grandparents had this disease then maybe you are the next target. You should consume healthy food from the very beginning.  Don’t wait for the disease to attack first. Consult your physician and start taking precautions from the very beginning.

Check your diet 

Consumption of sugar is a big no-no. Nowadays diabetics don’t have to compromise much as every eatable is also available in the variety of sugar free too, like desserts, chocolates, cookies, and ice cream etc.   Avoid the use of certain fruits like mango and dates as there is plenty of sugar in these fruits. Add fiber, oats, porridge, multi grains in your diet. Don’t remain hungry ever; have something quickly as you feel hungry as the blood pressure of diabetics drops drastically in the situation of a hungry stomach for a longer time period. Follow a particular diet chart from breakfast till dinner with the help of dieticians instead of your own guesswork.

Sister diseases

Diabetes give birth to many other diseases with its origin in the human body. Cholesterol level in the body should be maintained. The majority of the diabetics are patients of high blood pressure too. So high temperament in such situation is a big no-no. Patients should avoid taking alcohol as it disturbs the circulation of blood in the body. Chances of heart attack are always there, so try to avoid non-vegetarian food, and deep fried unhealthy food, which may block your arteries and can put you in a very helpless situation.

Decrease in production of white blood cells

Blood cells work like caring doctors in our body. When the production of white cells decreases, or the existing ones start becoming feeble, this affects the immunity, resistance power of our body to fight against the germs of diseases. This is the reason why the wounds of diabetics don’t heal up and in the situation of chronic stage the injured body part needs to be separated from the body by doctors. So diabetics should do their best to rescue themselves from injuries.

The workout is a must

Outdoor activities and workout are a must for diabetics. The patient can choose the activity according to their interest. Yoga or other exercise plans should be practiced under the strict supervision of trainers.
