Keeping your blood glucose well controlled will help you feel better, more energetic and avoid hypoglycaemia, elevated blood ketones and hyperglycaemia.
Discuss with your healthcare professional and learn how to assess and track your blood glucose using a suitable meter.
Incorporate foods with a low glycaemic index (GI) into your diet as they give smoother levels of blood glucose throughout the day.
Keep stress under control as it may cause your blood glucose to rise. Learn relaxation techniques and exercise regularly.
In case you fall sick, make sure you consult with your healthcare professional to have a plan ready as you may need more insulin than normal.
