Type 2 Diabetes and Self Care Management

Diabetes is a long-term condition marked by high blood sugar levels, resulting from the body's inability to produce enough insulin or use it effectively. If left unmanaged, it can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision loss.  

Work on reasons causing insulin resistance 

 Insulin resistance occurs when cells in your muscles, fat, and liver don't respond well to insulin, making it harder for glucose to enter cells

Keep your weight in check 

 Excess body weight, especially visceral fat, is a major risk factor for insulin resistance. Maintaining a healthy weight through proper nutrition and regular exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders.

 Keep your waist-to-hip ratio in check

 The waist-to-hip ratio is an important marker of abdominal fat and overall health. A high ratio indicates more abdominal fat, which is linked to increased insulin resistance

Engage in muscle-building workouts 

 Strength training and resistance exercises improve insulin sensitivity by increasing muscle mass, which helps utilize glucose more efficiently

Regular medical check-ups 

 Regular health check-ups, including blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormone levels, help in the early detection and management of potential health issues.
