Managing diabetes takes daily care and consistency, especially for seniors. Small steps can make a big difference in maintaining energy, balance, and comfort at home. Here are some practical ways to stay on track:
✅ Plan balanced snacks. Pair fiber-rich carbs with protein to help keep blood sugar steady throughout the day.
✅ Stay on schedule with medication. Use reminders or a pill organizer to prevent missed doses.
✅ Check feet regularly. Look for any redness, cuts, or swelling. Early detection prevents complications.
✅ Stay hydrated. Water supports circulation and helps control blood sugar levels.
✅ Move gently. Light exercise, like walking or stretching, can improve insulin sensitivity.
✅ Monitor blood sugar. Keep a simple log to share with healthcare providers.
✅ Caregiver support matters. Caregivers can assist with meal prep, reminders, and daily routines to help maintain consistency and peace of mind.
This World Diabetes Day, let’s encourage awareness, healthy habits, and compassionate care for the seniors in our lives.
