❄️ Winter Wellness for People with Diabetes ❄️
Cold weather can bring new challenges — but with a few mindful habits, you can keep your diabetes care strong all season long. 💙
🧤 Stay Warm:
Cold temperatures can raise blood glucose (sugar) levels. Dress in layers and protect your hands and feet.
💧 Hydrate Well:
Even in winter, dehydration happens easily. Drink water regularly to help keep your glucose steady.
🚶♀️ Keep Moving:
Shorter days can make it harder to stay active, but even 10–20 minutes of walking or stretching can help improve insulin sensitivity.
🍽️ Mind Your Meals:
Winter comfort foods can be high in carbs. Enjoy them mindfully and balance your plate with protein and fiber.
🧪 Check Your Numbers:
Glucose levels can fluctuate more in colder months. Monitor regularly and adjust as needed.
🧦 Foot Care Matters:
Keep feet warm, moisturized, and protected to avoid dryness or cracks.
😌 Manage Stress & Sleep:
Cold, busy seasons can increase stress — prioritize rest, relaxation, and good sleep routines.
✨ Stay Warm. Stay Active. Stay Balanced.
This winter, take small steps that keep your body strong, your heart warm, and your glucose steady. 💙❄️
