Key Prevention Tips:
- Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit processed sugars and refined carbohydrates.
- Stay physically active: Regular exercise can help manage blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy weight. Aim for at least 30 minutes of activity most days of the week.
- Get regular checkups: Early detection is key. Routine health screenings can identify risk factors before they become serious health issues.
Why Awareness Matters
Diabetes impacts millions of people globally, and its prevalence continues to rise. By making small, sustainable lifestyle changes, we can collectively reduce the burden of this condition and improve health outcomes.
