HOW TO PREVENT DIABETES

Maintain a healthy body weight because even a small weight drop lowers the chance of diabetes

Stay physically active for at least 150 minutes weekly to help your body use sugar better

Eat more whole grains, vegetables, beans and fruits to support steady blood sugar

Reduce sugary drinks and sweet foods because they easily raise sugar levels

Limit processed and fast foods that make the body less sensitive to insulin

Sleep well for 7 to 8 hours because poor sleep affects how the body handles sugar

Avoid smoking since it increases the c
hance of diabetes

Check blood pressure and cholesterol often because keeping them normal protects your health

WARNING SIGNS OF DIABETES YOU MUST NOT IGNORE

Diabetes does not happen overnight, it creeps in slowly, showing subtle signs that many people ignore.

🔑 Peeing too often

If you suddenly find yourself waking up multiple times at night to urinate, it could be a warning sign.

🔑 Always thirsty

This is not just regular thirst, it is a deep, unquenchable need for water that does not go away even after drinking plenty of fluids.

🔑 Losing weight without trying

When your body cannot use sugar properly for energy, it starts breaking down fat and muscle instead. This sudden, unexplained weight loss is a classic early symptom of diabetes.

🔑 Always hungry

This makes your brain think you need more food, leading to constant hunger, even after meals.

If you are eating more than usual but still feel weak and tired, it’s time to pay attention.

🔑 Blurry vision

Are you struggling to see clearly, or does your vision suddenly seem blurry? High blood sugar affects the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, causing temporary vision problems.

🔑 Tingling or numbness in your hands and feet

High sugar levels can damage the nerves over time, causing what is known as diabetic neuropathy.

🔑 Slow-healing wounds

High blood sugar affects blood circulation and weakens the immune system, making it harder for the body to repair itself.

Check your blood sugar regularly (monthly- 3monthly)
